Hidroxychloroquine and Covid-19

Trump touts chloroquine, old malaria drug that doctors say may help treat coronavirus | ABC News

Forget the video, here is a study (awaiting peer review) carried out in the US regarding this "good idea". The conclusion: "In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19. An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone. These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs."

 

To dumb it down for the trump afficionados: Prematurely authorising drugs due to political pressure kills people.

what bullshit are you touting? What is the exact amount of people that have died from use of this medication? Trump is saying if it works then try it, I know for a fact from my aunt and uncle who have covid-19 they were given the drug and both have recovered. Did the drug save them? Debatable, my aunt still had to go on a resperator. The point is, some people were in trials for it, it is non-lethal, your link leads me to a non-downloadable PDF that may or may not back up your description of "... increased overall morality..."

 

Finally, you can't stop the flu, this is supposed to be worse, so oh well, Swenden has the right idea, lets get back to work.

I am not saying anything, follow the link, read the study.

 

Also: If even the orange twat and the bojo take measures against the virus you can bet your arse that it is worse than you can imagine.

There is a reason why some people become scientists and others stack shelves at walmart, different skill sets.
