Outbreaks of human coronavirus infections have often been centered around hospitals and health-care providers in their early stages. This was seen with SARS-CoV-1 in 2003-04,<1>, <2> MERS-CoV in 2018-19<3>, and SARS-Cov-2 in 2020.<4> It is presumably related to the non-specific symptoms of these illnesses early in their clinical course coupled with close contact of health-care providers with infected patients in hospital, and inadequate personal protective equipment use.<3>
Infection of health-care providers with highly morbid human coronaviruses is problematic not just due to their subsequent role in propagating infection among vulnerable inpatients, but due to the impact of illness in health-care workers on adequate staffing during an epidemic. This would be expected to be even more pronounced during an outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, given the potential for asymptomatic spread of disease.<5>
As a result, available pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis of health-care workers for SARS-Cov-2 would be ideal. An effective agent would be expected to both prevent spread of disease in hospitals, and maximize the workforce available to provide patient care during an epidemic situation.

Everyone wanting to take Hydroxychloroquine as a preventative should be able to, right now! And then go back to work immediately. It works in hours. Please sign the WH petition below. When it hits 150, it goes live publically on their website. We’re almost half way there (to 140) after 1 day. When it goes live, they’ll see it, and !any more will sign.

“Pre-exposure prophylaxis: Loading dose: 800mg of hydroxychloroquine salt (620mg base) taken at 0-hours, then 400mg (310mg base) taken at 6-hours, 24-hours, and 48-hours. Ongoing treatment: 400mg hydroxychloroquine salt (310mg base) taken once weekly.”

I absolutely agree.
And it would be nice to have a package of rapid test kits at home and at work to ease everyone’s fears.
We could reverse this calamity inside a month.
WTF has the CDC been doing all these years? It’s their only job and every single epidemic, they’ve been caught flat footed. Heads need to roll!
BkMk for Monday.
Zinc acetate lozenges at the first sign of a temperature rise no matter how small.
They were repurposed to look into the ‘diseases’ of ‘gun violence’ and ‘inner city violence’ and ‘hate crimes’ under Obama.
after this is all over, and we’re still a country, there needs to be a major overhaul including refocusing what the hell CDC is supposed to be doing, and you might throw the FBI in there as well...
You forgot diversity and LGBQ
They spend money on woke stuff like transgender discrimination. Oh and they count e coli cases
The HCQ drug under the name Plaquenil by Sanofi is being ramped up in production.
CDC is a statistics and monitoring organization, as well as having a roster of MDs and technicians for emergency dispatch. They’ve been working hard on lots of issues surrounding this pandemic.
The problem lies in a group of democrat governors that need to be called out and challenged. They are not letting physicians practice medicine in a way that would help the population.
I think it borders on a crime what they are doing. I see no logic behind their decisions.
If they are restricting HCQ treatment to hospital settings only and not allowing doctors to treat their patients in their clinics, what’s the logic behind that?
Here’s a try at their logic:
They are restricting HCQ treatment to hospitals because there is a shortage of HCQ and what is available should only be used on the very sick who are in hospitals.
They want to ensure a supply for RA and Lupus sufferers who depend on HCQ drugs.
Sounds nice but it doesn’t jive with reports that there are millions upon millions of dosages, of HCQ pills now being distributed and on the way.
I don’t think there’s a shortage now. Certainly by next week there won’t be. Last week, there may have been fear of a mismatch between supply and demand as the FDA only approved HCQ for coronavirus 4 days ago.
But doctors who treat RA and lupus patients know or can check on supplies and they can make decisions on new patients needing treatment for coronavirus.
What would have been much more reasonable is to give hospitals and MDs three days to take inventory of what is on hand, how much is stored, how much patients have on hand, then do an accounting of what is coming in, what is scheduled. This is not a complicated calculation. It involves some phone calls or computer lookups on information systems.
The totals could be entered on a website and compared to the numbers to arrive in shipment. It is easy to do and the accounting should make it clear that there will be more than enough to allow MDs to take over and prescribe as they see fit.
The practice of micromanaging a profession by government bureaucrats always ends in disaster.
And it’s not funny because people die as a result.

Those were not considered diseases by the Obama Administration, so they didn’t bother investigating those.
CDC (and Dr. Fauci) will come around as soon a they find a $10,000 dose cocktail.
There is a hidden agenda we are missing. It involves the harvesting of middle class wealth away from the sheeple, and a global scheme for globalization. We the people, world-wide, are in transition, and America has finally been manipulated into our own national demise. ‘Someone’ chose to start the conquest in 2020.
Exactly!!!!
HCQ has a half-life of ~6 weeks. Folks with RA & SLE will do just fine.
That was my thinking that these sufferers have enough on hand to soldier through.
Then the only thing left for these Governors to use as a basis is there’s not enough new HCQ so keep it restricted to those that are admitted to hospitals only.
That doesn’t hold up.
That means they are following a plan of sorts.
It seems clear that the HCQ + Zinc/Z-Pak treatment success was not part of a plan. And that there is an effort to bury news of it.
