Three days for the test results?
Come on, Mary Beth. Learn the lingo. "SARS-CoV-2" is the VIRUS. COVID-19 is the DISEASE.
"COVID" stands for "COrona VIrus Disease."
It's a small thing, yes, but it's indicative of how little these reporters pay attention to the important details and make you suspect everything they write.
Second story this morning of this drug helping people in very serious condition, Also a man in FL. How will the MSM keep this positive news quiet ?
And another: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3827418/posts
This may guarantee Trumps reelection if this actually works.
Good news!
Prayers UP!
I have already decided I will be asking for this drug if I get a positive test.
If its now available in generic form there should be no problem getting companies to produce and distribute it.
BTW, when I was a kid working at the pharmacy I would see prescriptions for Plaquenil come through all the time. My Mom took it for Rheumatoid Arthritis but you can only take it for three months at a time.
Don’t really understand how it works for CV since it suppresses the immune system. Mongo only pawn in game of life though.
Anyway, it is on the WHO list of essential medicines that are “the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.”
Nope, not approved by FDA for use on CV, it may be dangerous.
I looked up "conversational dyspnea" which I believe means "shortness of breath while talking."
Conversational Dyspnea
July 4, 2019If the patient is conversationally dyspneic at the time of a telemedicine encounter, refer them on for immediate evaluation and treatment.
Briefly check to see if they are having any other symptoms that would trigger a recommendation for a 9-1-1 call and then tell them they need to see a clinicians right now.
Some telemedicine service providers will hassle you over this, criticizing you for not triaging the patient fully before making the call.
Outside of having typical chest pain, there is no additional information you can glean which will change the recommendation for immediate medical evaluation.
This should really go without saying, but its amazing how many clinicians will even document conversational dyspnea and then treat the patient in place.
If they cant breathe now, assume they wont be able to breathe later, even if you give them a strong dose of oral steroids. That treatment will take 12-24 hours to work, who knows what trouble they can get in by then.
“A five-day treatment course would cost approximately $12, Boulware said.”
Lol. That should give the AMA/FDA/Pharma buddypal system fits. Life saving treatments are supposed to bankrupt you.
cnn’s anderson cooper interviewed dr. sanjay gupta (repeat interviewee) about hcq. gupta sides with fauci against trump and labels hcq’s effectiveness against covid-19 as anecdotal.
