For those who want to know the woman's condition, the article says:

Kim, who was hospitalized for seven days, is mostly recovered now but is still on oxygen at her home.

I am so looking forward to the mainstream media cherry-picking stories related to COVID-19 until Election Day. /s

[George from New England]

First look I’d take is ...

where did her Hydroxyc... come from ? China maybe ?

So, here’s the interesting question that arises after Trump said he is taking HCQ as a prophylaxis — DOES IT REALLY PROTECT AGAINST COVID-19 THE WAY IT DOES FOR MALARIA?

There are a ton of Americans taking HCQ right now for valid reasons, because they have lupus or a rheumatological condition. How many of them have gotten sick from Coronavirus? That’ll give us some basic sense of whether the drug works as a prophylaxis against the disease.

We might not even need a scientific test to find out.

Just hire a pollster to call people randomly and ask them:

(a) are you on hydroxychloroquine and
(b) have you been diagnosed with COVID-19?

It’d be interesting to see how many answer yes to both questions and how the share that got infected while using HCQ compares to the share of the overall population that got infected.

Ah, but lady, do/did you take zinc?

[politicket]

Zinc deficient. A lot of people are.

[Dr. Sivana]

Maybe HCQ, even with zinc, isn’t 100%. Aspirin is widely accepted for headache relief, but it doesn’t work for everyone.

As far as I could tell,the article didn’t say how old this woman was. The fact that she had lupus may have made her more vulnerable to the virus. But who knows. Like Trump said “What have you got to lose?”

[piasa]

This is anecdotal. ;-)

[goodnesswins]

And....what other health issues might she have? And her age?

[plain talk]

"I couldn’t breathe no more.” Kim said"

"No more"? It's "anymore". It's "I couldn't breathe anymore". It sounds stupid when you say it like that.

[Mrs. Don-o]

That's not just cherry-picking, that's picking needles out of haystacks. From SIR (Italian Society of Rheumatologists) "The Italian Society for Rheumatology studied 65,000 patients on longterm hydroxychloroquine for RA and Lupus. Only 20 patients tested positive for COVID-19. No ICU, no deaths."

[Robert DeLong]

Probably no zinc intake.

[xp38]

Was she on the other meds too? Hydroxy alone is not the plan.

[Williams]

No one said it’s a 100% effective preventive. CBS is the worst.

19 years? But I thought hydroxy kills you.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Color me suspicious. Article didn’t mention zinc. Also, one case which would seem to be an outlier with many possible explanations. When I see 100 -500 cases like this I will be less sceptical.

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

What, no zinc and azithromycin?

[bigbob]

No drug is 100% effective, ffs.

[mmichaels1970]

Kim said even though she took precautions when leaving the house for the grocery store, she thought she would be safe because of what President Donald Trump has said about the drug

That’s the only freaking line CBS cares about. The media is the enemy.

[pepsi_junkie]

They finally found someone on HCQ that got Covid. Took ‘em long enough.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

So I was like, “where’s the zinc?”
