The only thing that bothers me about the HCQ is that France seems to be using it and their death toll is very high.
I want to know what Germany is doing, they have a very low death rate.
NY and NJ have extremely high death rates so don’t do what they are doing!
It could also be just the phase that each is in.
HCQ, along with an antibiotic (the Z-Pack is very common) and Zinc is very effective if used early. If you wait until someone’s on a ventilator, it probably won’t be very helpful.
There are a couple of FR doctors that have used it in their hospital with great results.
There are also studies that indicate that HCQ has a prophylactic effect, a way to prevent or reduce infection. It has a good record, and is being used in the US.
The problem with citing NY and NJ (especially NY) is that the governor has made moves to increase the death toll, like placing infected people in Nursing homes which are chock full of vulnerable people. PA may be guilty of the same.
To a democrat, a few casualties are not a problem if it furthers their party’s cause.
France's population that is receiving HCQ is the richer people, it is not in general use.
