Ok but what caused them to try it? Sorry — I’m always curious as to how people think to try things in times like this.

There had been some in vitro experiments with HIV and influenza

In his cases it was “ok I am about to have to put this patient on a ventilator that didn’t respond to Hydroxychloroquine. I know the odds aren’t great once we get to the ventilator so might as well try the medicine that worked in vitro.” Was basically a Hail Mary. That is how things happen sometimes.

It sounding more & more like the hydroxychloroquine regimen is very effective PRIOR TO the "cytokine storm" where your body is sending a shitload of help, but is actually flooding the lungs, causing respiratory distress/failure, thus requiring intubation and will not respond to hydroxychloroquine/z-pack regimen. A Touro ICU nurse told me the same thing.

This MD is saying Ivermectin appears effective in the middle stage just as that respiratory distress is starting to flare-up, which is great news as yet another weapon against corona.

Hopefully, there's another treatment we find for those already intubated. The more I hear, your chances of survival once you are on the ventilator is extremely low.

How is ivermectin given to the patient

I wonder if it works IM? I have have a few bottles at home for cattle and dogs
