Wasn't the NY study started last Tuesday, lasting 5-6 days? Has that study been competed?

As I understand it (family member works in NYC hospital), NY hospitals started giving ICU patients the drugs last week. These patients are very ill and mostly the type who were one bad illness away from the grave, covid or otherwise. The drug hasn't been hugely effective in this group, but hospitals have begun giving it to not as sick admitted patients this week. If you think you have it, call your physician and suggest the plaquenil/z-pak and they will prescribe it.

HCQ is a zinc ionophore. It helps zinc enter the cells and disrupt viral replication. Many people are deficient in minerals and zinc is one many need more of. If HCQ isn't paired with zinc, it's not as effective as it could be. If the patient already has bacterial pneumonia and isn't also given a z-pak, it will not be as effective as it could be.

There wasn't supposed to be a cure. There are many who want this to go on as long as possible. The FDA wanted at least a year to approve HCQ to treat Wuhan Flu.

It would be nice to live one's life without having to confront Evil, but here it is. Worse than ever and armed with technology.

Governors actually attempting to ban HCQ for COVID-19!

Media presstitutes are discouraging HCQ use with scare tactics and attempting to discredit sources.

These death cultists wanted the deepest impact possible on Western civilization and are outraged that lowly quinine, zinc, and a Z-pak will foil their plans.

We must keep the vote honest in November!

That’s OK (it’s not). They are still dragging their feet on a vaccine .. determined to take the long route to its development.

But with Gates wanting tagging included with the vaccine, I'm not sure...

So not a panacea but is helpful in aiding the vast majority. Though due to the coronavirus abilty to so quickly move through a society their will still be a high death count of those in the highest risk. So do we sacrifice the those at the highest risk or the bull economy? The humanitarian say that money is not worth lives but the economist may say there are lives lost in a recession as well. Quite the dilemma.

I say we give H to the old and immunodeficient as a preventative. Same dosage as used for Lupus. Then, we can go back to work.

Yeah, it's not some miracle cure for someone who has already been intubated, nothing really is. But it does seem promising for people who haven't reached that point yet. Getting positive covids on it early may be huge (the instant test should help with this as well), we'll have better numbers on its effectiveness next week.

The media assholes will come out and say “see?! It was used on these already terminally ill folks and didn’t save them! Trump is an IDIOT! false hope!! Don’t use these meds!”
