Trump talked about chloroquine today, but not azithromycin. Is that drug available for use immediately?

Azithromycin is a common antibiotic. Manyn prescribe it as a Z-pack. Should be plenty of both to go around.

That is also known as a Z-Pak. SUPER common to be prescribed for many things nowadays that require an antibiotic. I think you take them for 5 days -- my son just had one recently. Most people or their kids have been prescribed a Z-Pak for some reason or another in recent past.

Yep. Take 2 on the first day, then 1 every day for 5 days. They're actually a pretty strong antibiotic.

It says it's a combination. He's probably just referring to the combination.

Yes, since the mid 80s. It is also a drug widely prescribed for a long time, with an excellent track record. Like the other, it is part of a family of related drugs that is even older. Pharmaceutically, you can't get much more conservative than this pair. The only kind of patent they can get is a use patent which is why people who know the industry, unlike the ignoramus that called me a "Bernie Bro", worry that it won't be allowed.

I think that is just a Z pack.

I first heard of Chloroquine in an episode of M * A * S * H. It's Vietnam War-Old, and it's still in production. Shows me that it works, and the side effects aren't a deal breaker. I'll fuckin' TAKE it.
