CORAOPOLIS, Pa. — A local family decided to have their father try the anti-malaria drug showing promise as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
Channel 11 first told you about 76-year-old Bob Schrecengost last week, when another patient at his nursing home, Caring Heights Community Care and Rehab Center in Coraopolis, tested positive for COVID-19.
This weekend, his family got the news that he, too, tested positive.
"It was extremely difficult for all of us in my house to hear the news,” said his daughter, Lisa Smarra.
Smarra visits her dad outside his window at Caring Heights every day. He has dementia, so she is tasked with making his medical decisions.
Smarra first heard hydroxychloroquine touted as a possible COVID-19 treatment during a presidential briefing. But while the drug shows signs of promise, clinical studies are still underway. She discussed the risks with her dad’s doctor.

“scary” is doing NOTHING to help.
Do you want to die now, or later?

Seems more reasonable the relying on a Rat Governors Advice I’d say.
So what was the other choices? I think this is bullshitz.

Yes, Trump should “follow the science” while governors and assorted other hacks arbitrarily deny lifesaving drugs over politics.
Good thing they are not in New Mexico.
The biggest concern is a possible negative reaction with the antibiotic Z-Pak her father was already taking.
...
There’s supposed to be another antibiotic to use without the potential heart problems.
It sounds like that, in the end, his doctor perscribed the medication. Without the approval of Channel 11 or the County Democrat Party? Oh, the humanity! Has the Governor been informed?
The public has been lied to by the media if the danger of this treatment. This drug has been around for years and successfully treats a variety of conditions.

Becasuse playing “Gotcha” with POTUS is more important than FACTS.
The risks include heart arrhythmia, kidney failure, serious liver problems.
Correct, this drug has been used for a long time......plaquenil, spake, or the the other antibiotic.. and zinc.....
Yeah lol
DEATH or this medicine with few potential averse effects from a weeks’s dosage
That’s a tough one :)
The heart arrhythmia could be an issue for moi.. because of an Afib type condition, but if either my wife or myself came down with the Wuhanic Plague, then I would actually demand the HCQ and every other drug known to mankind, including copious amounts of morphine to get through the dam disease..
I find that morphine works well for all things...cuts, scrapes, headaches, dropsy and heartache.
Supposedly that was with the older versions from years ago, not now. There is much disinformation being put out on this because the deep state / left want as much damage from this virus as possible in their quest to get Trump.
No amount of misery and death is too much if it gets rid of Trump.
I’m highly allergic to morphine. Anaphylactic reaction.
Doxycycline, a well-understood and in some cases safer antiobiotic, is what is prescribed to use with HCQ, if there are cardiac or drug interaction problems with Zpack.
Its true that zpack can sometimes cause a heart arrhythmia which is why my Mom cant take zpack..she had the same reaction when she took Cipro..but as far as hydroxy there is no issues with the heart
Anecdotal! (Drink)
