Positive News: Another Dr. Touts Success of Hydroxychloroquine

Coronavirus: Hydroxychloroquine is saving lives
Again.. we see no hospitalizations, no intubations, and no deaths when people are started on a regimen of Zinc ( 1:38 for explanation), Hydroxychloroquine ( 4:14 for explanation), Azithromycin ( 5:16 for explanation), and Vitamin C (decreases inflammation in the lungs).
If this is regularly used in the outpatient (doctor's office) setting during the initial stage of the coronavirus, I predict it has a good chance of preventing hospitalizations, intubations, and deaths. THAT could potentially flatten the curve.
Pharmaceutical companies are taking note...

BRB, gotta eat 5 oranges and take a zinc tablet

My biggest question is do these drugs cause potential problems for the patient if they don't work on CV19 or other related conditions?

He's playing political games that are potentially affecting the lives of millions of people.
I hope he's charged with manslaughter if we see widespread success with this treatment regimen

If you did that then Cuomo and JBE would lose their TV time for mass hysteria.

Well, we'd have to test them first, which isn't happening, so the plan falls apart.
ETA: Test the patients for Covid-19, not the drugs efficacy.

So I can take over the counter Zinc and drink a shite ton of orange juice and that's half the battle?

The biggest concern besides people drinking aquarium cleaner..
Is that it has the potential to cause disruption in the electrical rhythm of the heart..
Granted hydroxychloroquine was designed to be MUCH safer in that regard compared to chloroquine
This can theoretically have an additive effect with azithromycin BUT, the whole point of the antibiotic is to prevent the secondary pneumonia so you could hypothetically replace a Z pack with another antibiotic like doxycycline

By “he” are you referring to all of the politicians? Because they’re all doing it right now.

Good news, indeed.
The wife is already reducing her patients' daily doses to prep for shortages in these meds (and another one that starts with a P, used with lupus patients).

We're past the point of testing with the sole purpose of preventing the spread.
The spread is here.. Especially in Louisiana.
This treatment should be given to those >50 OR any age with pre-existing health conditions in the outpatient setting with high fevers (102 and above) and acute cough that has gone on for 3-5 days straight. No matter if you have a positive test or not.

I saw a segment on Tucker where he said Dr's are hoarding these meds for their families so they must have some merit to the treatment

Early reports were good. I can't speak to anything after that.

She's probably talking about Plaquenil, which is the brand name of Hydroxychloroquine
Tell her I said thank you for the work she and her team are doing

Wrong, they are already FDA approved drugs. Doctors can prescribe them, if they have seen evidence of effectiveness.
