It appears that most of the dead in NYC are in a city-run hospital that mostly serves low-income people. In an area with a lot of new immigrants, legal and illegal alike, it's likely that many don't have decent health insurance and will tend to avoid going to the doctor until it's too late, for fear of incurring significant medical debt. For humanitarian and practical reasons (i.e. to admit people who have the bug before they spread it to thousands), NYC should consider an announcement promising to test and treat covid-19 patients for free.

Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko Board Certified Family Practitioner 501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950 845-238-0000

March 23, 2020

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

Ironically, within Queens, Elmhurst is adjacent to Corona.

The FluBros will say these three died of cardiac arrest and not coronavirus.

Somehow my post from the Queens Patch was deleted in favor of your post. In this article, the hospital spokeswoman
initially denied that 13 COVID=19 patients had died, then later said 13 patients died who were in ICU.

I don’t believe the NYT’s. They are presumptive liars and have admitted as such.

Is this a Chinese neighborhood I wonder? Why aren’t we hearing anything about who these people were?

NYC public hospitals are chronically understaffed, under supplied, under funded and overwhelmed.

Does not take a whole lot to push one over the edge.

And assume any death that MIGHT be attributed, will be.

I’m sorry, but 13 deaths in 24 hrs in a city of 8 million is not apocalyptic...

This tells me the coronavirus has moved into the older population in greater numbers and they have moved up the death rate velocity. Does anyone have New York deaths by date statistics?

A refrigerated truck has been stationed outside to hold the bodies of the dead.

“It’s apocalyptic,” said Dr. Bray, 27, a general medicine resident at the hospital.

Too funny - a 27 year old hasn't lived long enough to grasp the term "apocalyptic"...and he ain't even a specialist..

13 deaths in a day. Heck that’s how many are shot in Chicago every day.
