Italy appears to be over the top as their testing continues to increase and daily new cases have started to decrease.

Apparently Italy some time prior to March 29th had seen enough data to warrant widespread early treatment with hydroxychloroquine, at least in some regions of the country, like Rome.

Dr. Pier Luigi Bartoletti, Deputy National Secretary of the Italian Federation of General Practitioners, explains that every single person with Covid-19 that has early signs, like a cough or a fever for example, is now being treated with the anti-malaria drug.

The drug “is already giving good results,” Bartoletti says while Malaysia reveals they have been using it since the very beginning. Bartoletti further adds that the drug: “Must be used with all the necessary precautions, it must be evaluated patient by patient. It can have side effects. But those that take it are responding really well.

Meanwhile, in this country we're still drawing up the protocols for some double blind, placebo controlled, fully randomized studies. Which would be bad enough if it was an unknown experimental chemical, but this is a drug that has already been given to hundreds of millions of people worldwide over nearly a century, with an excellent safety record despite some of the hand wringing we continue to hear.

I guess Italy and some other countries need men like Dr Fauci to explain to them how the data on hydroxychloroquine is "not robust" and is only a "suggestion" of efficacy.

I woke up today short of breathe and a nice cough.

frick.

If I got it. It was likely from the ER. Went two days ago with chest pains(ended up having swelling in my esophagus creating tightness) and thought I may he having a heart issue which I've never had.

Praying I dont. With the years of smoking and diabetes this thing scares me. I'm only 33 though.

I wouldn’t take a vaccine from China.

Thanks for confirming that I’m mostly not crazy.

China is definitely using this as an opportunity to increase their influence though. They were getting praised for “giving” supplies to Italy and NY.

China is currently testing vaccines in their political prisons. They will have a mass produced vaccine by July. Most countries will accept the vaccine and get back to normal.

That's how we get zombies

Guess where the flu vaccine you took last fall came from.

Urban Meyer disease. Must be something in the water in Gainesville

There won't be an approved vaccine in the US for 18 months.

This is how China becomes the world's leading power and we fade away under the weight of partisanism and beuracracy.

---

Outside of CCP propaganda, there is little reason to think that China will have a functioning vaccine in July. In fact, don't be surprised if news from global vaccine efforts is mostly bad in the coming months. Vaccines for other coronaviruses have been difficult to figure out and people should temper expectations on how fast a functioning vaccine will show up for mass production.

China's influence via U.S. based corporations, who in turn buy congressmen of both parties, is already widespread. This is a drop in the bucket compared to the corruption that is systemic in our political system.
