I was about there on 15 liters in a non-rebreather mask, and here I sit before you alive and (mostly) well. Admittedly I'm 30 years younger.
G_d bless Dr Zelenko. I've had my differences with him over the years, but he undoubtedly saved my life. Meanwhile the idiot in Albany wants him to stop prescribing it. I've already told my staff, if you get a script for HCQ/zinc, fill the damn thing and I'll deal with Albany if it comes to that.
I personally know most hospitals in the NE have stopped using HCQ. I can't fathom it. Even if it doesn't really work the risk profile is well known and low. I can't understand why doctors would rather patients just die than try HCQ along with the other therapies. That is until you realize most doctors in the NE are suffering from terminal cases of TDS.
Washington State... and many thanks, He'd love to hear that he still looks good. He is a Neurophysiologist (PhD), and taught at a major medical school in Southern California for 40 years. wrote many books, studied the optic nerve bundle for his entire research career... he and my mom retired to Washington...
I agree that your Dad looks great - and I am concluding that all Dads of that generation have the same frames for their glasses. Some kind of version of aviators.
Dunno, I went into the hospital on it already, and they continued using it there, except that they'd run out of tablets and were using powder dissolved in water (or Ora-Blend, maybe. I didn't ask the pharmacy how they compounded it.) Would have tasted like suck, except that I had lost most of my sense of taste for bitterness by then.
Reports coming out now that Covid has removed the sense of smell from a lot of people (not sure if it's temp or perm) and we all know taste is affected by smell (hence pinching your nose to eat something nasty)
Pretty sure dysgeusia (derangement of taste) and anosmia (absense of smell) are both present; they came on in me at different dates, and I got the smell back a day or so before the taste.
I also think that at least some of the dysgeusia was a side effect of the zinc, and not necessarily related to the COVID.
I almost wonder if they tell some patients in hospitals (in NY especially) that they are getting it and it is a placebo and they are not, (& maybe the docs do not even know supply was replaced w/ placebos?) so the Left can say it does not work, when the people do not recover. I know that sounds insane, but they have done so many other underhanded to murderous things, NOTING surprises me anymore.
Nah, as a pharmacist myself I'd recognize a placebo. They gave me the real stuff. Can't say what they were giving other patients, of course. (Although I did talk to the inpatient pharmacy a couple times, just talking shop, and they'd have told me if any such fuckery was afoot.)
This is why I'm still pretty scared of this virus and I get kind of annoyed with the whole "it's just the flu bro"s. I know if I got it I wouldn't be able to get a known cure because orange man bad and I live in a communist state.
Like I know it doesn't have to be a huge threat. It could easily be dealt with and we could all get on with our lives. But democrats want it to spread as much as possible, they want people to get sick and die, and they want to withhold treatment so they can blame Trump.
I would have no fear of the virus if I knew I could get HCQ and z-pak. But they want it to withhold treatment so it can attack your lungs, testicles, heart and brain and have you crippled for life if it doesn't kill you so that you'll be dependant on their "help" forever.
But democrats want it to spread as much as possible, they want people to get sick and die, and they want to withhold treatment so they can blame Trump.
That is exactly what they want and are trying to make happen, and every one of them who took any action to that end is a mass murderer and needs to be executed.
It doesn't end there, I'm even more paranoid than that. In addition to withholding treatment where the virus is able to spread naturally, I honestly believe that they need to prove that lockdowns work, so they (the globalists, not the medical professionals) are going to deliberately spread it around places trying to open up their economy and get life back to normal. That way when they open up the death and hospitalization numbers will skyrocket and they'll say "See? You should have listened to us and closed down indefinitely."
We know there were Chinese agents purposely spreading this plague in America and we know authoritarians are using this as an excuse to rule. I don't think it's that crazy to assume they're going to purposely spread to places that are ready to reopen to convince the sheeple that lockdowns are effective.
They are being lobbied to be against it because HCQ will destroy the interest in a vaccine. Top lobbyists are looking at a potential number of sales and they see the entire world right now. The biggest sale ever. They could make a trillion dollars. how many millions customers a vaccine could get in the world. How many shots would be sold if HCQ is stopped and people do not feel they have an alternative in case their immunity doesn’t suffice?
Vaccines are for healthy people to prevent the disease, right now, we need drugs for sick people The entire notion that drugs will avert the need for vaccines is a cynical lie. They are trying to kill people.
HCQ + zpak + zinc = cheap, only given to the few who are sick and need it. Asymptomatic people infected with COVID won't even take it. Everybody, infected or not, will feel secure that a treatment exist so they'll refuse a mandatory vaccine. Very few sales of the cheap drug regime, no vaccine, no profit for the lobbyists.
Vaccine: when people think HCQ doesn't work and are afraid to return to work when there's no alternative =
mandatory vaccine given to the millions and even billions of uninfected people with COVID in the world. What the lobbyists see in this scenario : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I know, but I don't like to write it out in full for religious reasons. (The name of the Deity is not supposed to be erased. The rabbinic authorities have ruled in recent years that on a screen it's not considered written and thus you can erase your screen without worrying, but there's a chance someone will print out the screen and then erase the printed word, so we don't like to take chances.)

I did everything but hold a gun to the doctor's head. Democrats are pure evil. pure evil.
Can you tell us what state? Also, I am so happy for you and your fam and your Dad!!! He looks fantastic for 84, and sick too!!!!

I'm Oh So proud of my dad.

Almost sure I had the CV after reading about altered taste as a result.
Pretty sure dysgeusia (derangement of taste) and anosmia (absense of smell) are both present; they came on in me at different dates, and I got the smell back a day or so before the taste.
I also think that at least some of the dysgeusia was a side effect of the zinc, and not necessarily related to the COVID.
Zinc is supposed to help to restore the sense of taste.

OK I wasn't clear enough so I'll make it simple:

Everybody, infected or not, will feel secure that a treatment exist so they'll refuse a mandatory vaccine. Very few sales of the cheap drug regime, no vaccine, no profit for the lobbyists.

You're not on Reddit. Here, you can say "God" without getting downvoted/reported.
I know, but I don't like to write it out in full for religious reasons. (The name of the Deity is not supposed to be erased. The rabbinic authorities have ruled in recent years that on a screen it's not considered written and thus you can erase your screen without worrying, but there's a chance someone will print out the screen and then erase the printed word, so we don't like to take chances.)
Sounds like I owe you an apology.
I have a different religion from you and that was very unfair of me to say, and for that I'm sorry.
No problem, I'm not offended.
