You might want to have a conversation with Ohio, sir
I think it’s coming. The President will take action but first the MD communities need to step up which they are starting to do now.
Jonas Salk...
It will be over in 30 days if he does this. But think about it... the never Trumpers and those with TDS won’t take it... they all get sick and quarantine for the next decade...
Why isn’t this already covered by his new RIGHT TO TRY law...?
If you are dying from deadly horrible coronavirus you might as well try anything you want
I feel like the HCQ situation has gotten out of control
Trump mentioned it early on just trying to be upbeat and hopeful “I’ve heard good things about HCQ”, basically reading the same random reports a regular person would. Then Fauci says something basic like “well we’re not sure let’s not get our hopes up just yet”. And the whole thing gets exaggerated and politicized by both sides to ridiculous levels
People calling them “trump pills” and any time someone dies it’s “well did they not take HQC and vitC” like it’s magic. And it doesn’t help when it feeds into conspiracy theories and all the other nonsense. And a big part of it is denial that COVID is even a serious thing we need to deal with.
The truth is probably that we don’t know for sure yet if it works yet or not and there are maybe some other treatments and we need to explore everything
President Trump should enact his same right to try law for covid. Hydroxychloroquine is an over the counter drug in many countries.
2. send a $1 pack of HCQ pills for each occupant enumerated, in a $1 postage envelope.
3. 2 bucks a head times (whatever many) adults in the USA (NOT scientifically established)
A hell of a lot cheaper than another $1200.00 a head.
Perhaps the new Kodak Pharmaceuticals facility in Rochester NY will be the key. The 765 million dollar loan is not just to produce re-agents but also to produce HCQ. The sooner that ramps up for production (hopefully not months) the sooner he can make it OTC imho.
First SARS-COV-2 = Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - CoronaVIRUS - 2
COVID-18 = Coronavirus INFECTIOUS DISEASE - 19
VIRUS vs. DISEASE
News reporters are saying people tested positive for COVID-19; NO!
You dont test positive for the DISEASE. You test positive for the VIRUS and most that test positive for the VIRUS never develop the DISEASE.
The DISEASE COVID-19 is diagnosed, not tested.
Most people have the VIRUS but dont know it. Such people will develop antibodies naturally and never know they are infected. Their immune systems are strong enough to handle the Coronavirus and the virus infection never progresses to a disease state (COVID).
Hospitalizations:
There are two general categories of hospitalizations with COVID-19.
1. Go to hospital as soon as symptoms appear - no wait.
2. Go to hospital after waiting too long.
There are other hospitalizations:
* Sick with other things but get tested with positive result or have family member or friend with positive VIRUS (not necessarily DISEASE). Then such sick people are labeled,, branded as having COVID-19 even though its false. Lots of variations on this mixing things up.
COVID-19 progresses to pneumonia like symptoms, difficulty breathing, pneumocytes fill up with fluids induced by cytokine response, cytokine storm; pneumocytes start to fill up and patient starts to suffocate, cant breath.
Now to Dr. Zelenkos analogy:
COVID is like a FIRE of a home.
For those that get to the ER right away, the fire is small and easy to put out, minimal damage, patients recover within 24 hors as if nothing ever happened.
For those that wait too long, the fire is out of control, an entire fire department will not be able to save the home. In this case, a patient may survive but with severe lung damage. Many die.
Obviously, HCQ + Zn + Zpak will have mixed results for hospitalized patients depending on how fast they got to the hospital.
The doctors who are now speaking out (and there have been dozens over the last couple months just not broadcast, news suppressed), their patients called them, and the doctors got them to the ER FAST! And that made the difference, the recovery rates are very high.
Now, those that are asymptomatic, dont know they have anything, they take HCQ + Zinc as prevention, as prophylaxis (Zpak not necessary because no symptoms). These people may or may not have the VIRUS but they never get the DISEASE, the COVID-19.
Therefore, the pandemic can be over in a month if the general population were to take HCQ + Zinc for prevention.
Another Zelenko analogy:
HCQ = gun
Zinc = bullet
If progressing to COVID-19, then:
Azithromycin (Zpak) = bullet-proof vest
to stave off bacterial pneumonia.
Is Zinc necessary? In general yes.
If a person drinks red wine with meals, or eats a lot of seafood, especially shell fish, those dietary items are loaded with Zinc, so the Zinc levels in their blood plasma are high enough without needing Zinc Sulfate or Zinc picolinate supplement.
But to be sure, everyone should take a Zinc supplement.
Dr. Zelenko recommends if you are in an area where a ban is placed on HCQ (crime against humanity), then substitute Quercetin which does not require a prescription.
But HCQ is the best because it has two actions:
1, It opens small pores (channels) on the cell surface to allow Zinc to get inside the cell where it blocks the SARS-COV-2 from replicating (multiplying). Quercetin does this as well, both are known as Zinc ionophores.
2. But HCQ also binds with the ACE2 receptor that the SARS-COV-2 uses to enter into the cell, the HCQ closes the door on the virus.
Summarized:
1. HCQ gets the Zinc into the cell to stop the virus from multiplying
2. HCQ closes the door on the virus reentering the cell.
If a patient cant get HCQ because its banned (crime against humanity) and they take Quercetin as a substitute, they will survive if started early but will take longer to recover because the virus gets stopped by the Zinc but gets flushed back out into the blood where it reenters cells because the ACE2 door (receptor) is still open. HCQ shuts this door but Quercetin does not, so it takes longer using Quercetin to rid the body of the Coronavirus through elimination in the urine.
MAKE HCQ, ZINC OVER THE COUNTER DRUG AND BE DONE WITH THIS NONSENSE. THIS WOULD TAKE BIG PHARMA OUT OF THE EQUATION.
Hysterics. This thing isn’t that bad and doesn’t demand prophylactic medications. Grow up and stop being a drama queen.
Did Fau Xi approve?
