I'm a firefighter, my wife's a nurse. Sort of on the front lines of this. Monitoring and just following suggested practice. That being said, taking measures to boost the imune system,,ramping up the cardio a bit. Doing what we do around the homestead. Some good info coming down the pike out of this thread, a car site of all things! Both sides. If some anxiety gets vented, not the worse of things. |

Israeli drug company donating 6M doses of malaria drug to US to combat coronavirus Israel’s leading drug producer announced Thursday it will donate 6 million doses of anti-malaria drugs to the United States in hopes that it could be helpful treating coronavirus symptoms. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries says the drug could potentially treat people with the coronavirus and will ship the hydroxychloroquine tablets through wholesalers nationwide by the end of the month and will provide 10 million doses in total. “We are committed to helping to supply as many tablets as possible as demand for this treatment accelerates at no cost,” Teva Executive Vice President Brendan O’Grady said about the move. |

French Study shows promise. Researchers are turning to existing medication for potential use in a new coronavirus treatment. A study published by French biomedical lab IHU-Méditerranée Infection on Wednesday discovered a potential COVID-19 treatment contender: a combination of hydroxychloroquine, which has been used to treat malaria, and azithromycin. The two drugs combined would prevent the virus from entering other human cells and therefore stop the virus from spreading. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...irus-treatment |

The issue with hydroxychloroquine is the dosage. Give a patient 1 gram - he's fine. Give him 2 grams - he dies.

Lee,
What are your reservations with the usage of this drug in an approved off label context? Is there something new about the dosage that gives you reason to be concerned? Lots of medical experience with it and nearly all of it in a third world medical environment or military treatment context. Explain Please. |

But if a mistake is made with hydroxychloroquine - you get double dosed - you die. Simple as that. And please don't tell me that hospital staff/doctors don't make mistakes. We can head that one off at the pass right now! |
