RE: UCLA: “Our recommendation is based on limiting usage, allowing it as a Hail Mary-type treatment for patients who are very sick,” said Dr. Otto Yang, an infectious disease specialist.

If I read Dr. Raoult's study right and Dr. Vladimir Zelenko's own treatment for his now, close to 1,000 COvid-19 patients, the UCLA administration of HCQ is NOT the best way to use it.

The most effective usage is for it to be administered within 3 days of Covid-19 symptom manifestation. Doing this relieves symptoms and helps the patient recover within 5 to 6 days.

UCLA is giving it to the severely ill ( maybe on ventilators ). HCQ's results for this stage is MIXED.

From the above article, this seems to be the right way to use HCQ:

OCHSNER MEDICAL CENTER, LOUISIANA

Louisiana’s largest hospital system is prescribing hydroxychloroquine widely, according to its chief medical officer, Dr Robert Hart. “We have been using this from pretty early in the outbreak to see if this helps,” he said.

What if the patient requests it be administered?

Not surprising. Doctors and hospitals differ in professional opinion all the time.

Factbox: U.S. hospitals differ on best use of Hydroxychloroquine for Coronavirus

Gee, really? So 330 million people, that have 330 million different physical and health-related different ailments, require different drug combinations? Hard to believe...

Is the Z-pack (zithromax) being administered with it? If not, then hydroxychloroquine won’t be as effective.

Everyone’s a doctor these days. Idiocracy was a documentary, “Cause it’s got electrolytes.”

These are NOT "medical" policies!!!

These are POLITICAL policies.

You are CORRECT!

"The most effective usage is for it to be administered within 3 days of Covid-19 symptom manifestation. Doing this relieves symptoms and helps the patient recover within 5 to 6 days."

I’ll keep posting this as long as these articles appear.

Dr. Zelenko’s approach is to provide treatment to people so that they don’t have to be put on ventilators. His 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

How can we be midway through April, more than a month after multiple states closed their schools, and we don’t have several complete double-blind studies with random assignment that we can use to evaluate this?

The day we shut NYC schools, they should have approved a formal protocol for testing the various treatments that were already under discussion. Treat everyone - no placebo - but threat them with a randomly assigned treatment said to have promise. We should have known weeks ago what works best, at a standard of proof that even Fauci would accept. Pathetic.

“The related drug chloroquine has been in use even longer, but is considered to be less safe. The drugs can have serious side effects, including vision loss, heart problems or even death, if used incorrectly. Below are examples of how some hospitals are using the therapy:

“The related drug chloroquine has been in use even longer, but is considered to be less safe”

At first I said YES, finally they are telling the TRUTH and not conflating Hydroxychloroquin with chloroquine.

And THEN, in the very next sentence....

“The drugS can have serious side effects”, conflating Hydroxychloroquin with chloroquine.
