**SNIP**
“I was at the point where I was barely able to speak, and breathing was very challenging,” Giardinieri said. “I really thought my end was there.”
On Friday, he said goodbye to his wife and three children, thinking he would be the next victim of the COVID-19 virus.
Then a friend sent him an article about hydroxychloroquine.
**SNIP**
Thirty minutes later, nurses administered the drug, and for two hours, he felt his heart race and experienced an episode where he couldn’t breathe.
He then woke up at 4:45 the next morning and felt “like nothing ever happened." His breathing went back to normal, and his fever was gone.

Escape from New York if you can.
Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner

To all medical professionals around the world:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).
Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.
Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.
With much respect,
Dr. Zev Zelenko

F'ing criminal!!! Tastes that POTUS job real bad I guess. Media puts his terrible diarrhea diatribes on every single day. FOX won't miss a beat!
[Meanwhile Cuomo, issued an executive order in NYS today, outlawing doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine to their patients, unless they are in one of the governor’s sanctioned studies.
!!]
Feel sorry for liberals, for them the drug is like garlic to a vampire
I even saw a video yesterday. :-)
Come to find out the quote from the article was incomplete. It did not quote the entire executive order. And it appears to still be possible for someone who actually has the virus in NY to be treated with this drug per FDA guidelines.
I thought that maybe the same miss-characterization may be occurring here with Nevada, but their website has not been updated with any recent executive orders. So I can’t check.
It either needs to be an FDA-approved indication (not off label), or it needs to be part of a state approved clinical trial.
(excerpt)
Even though the FDA has approved it for off label use, the governor is telling doctors that they can't prescribe the drug outside of a Cuomo approved clinical study.
Dirtbag Cuomo knows better than the FDA and your doctor.
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
If Dr. Zelenko's study isn't Cuomo approved, it has now become illegal to continue it.
This video is worth watching. Not sure if his method would still work in NY. One might have to wait for the test, and could die in the meantime.

Yes you are right. It is exactly as bad as I originally thought it was. Some here convince me that this was an FDA approved indication, but it is not. The only difference between the EO in Nevada and NY are the trials.
In no other way can this drug be used against this virus in NY.
