"A good turn"? The guy was coughing up blood----I bet the "good turn" is from the malaria drug.
The virus that put John Bessler in the hospital — the virus that left him coughing up blood after days of fever in his apartment, alone — was at first mistaken for the common cold.
What else, after all, could it have been?
“I didn’t think he had it at the beginning,” Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Bessler’s wife, tells PEOPLE. “I mean, he was quarantining himself. But based on what he told me, I was far away, but I didn’t really think it.”
The “it” she is referring to is a new coronavirus which first emerged in China in late 2019. It causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 and is highly contagious, spread by coughs and sneezes from an infected person or after having contact with a surface they have touched.
In three months, the virus has spread around the world. As of Thursday, there were approximately 521,000 confirmed cases in more than 150 countries, with about 75,000 cases in the U.S.

The old gag: “Poor woman! Her husband took a turn for the nurse.”
Klobitchar should isolate herself for 14 days, or at least, put a plastic bag over her head.
Some pretty amazing doctors at the U of M. I have met dozens of them as they tried to figure out my sons very rare disease.
In the last three years I have learned more about infectious diseases than I ever thought possible. If people knew the truth about all the stuff out there that can’t be easily fixed
they would never leave their houses.
Nothing to see here, peasants - move along.
Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner

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

From coughing up blood to "as if by magic".
Yes, sometimes ignorance is bliss
Medical Science is a marvel..but not the end all be all...as shown by things related to the brain which is a constant source of mystery.
Two scientists/Dr who are both published are having a vehement disagreement on FR about a certain topic(and I think more than one) I dont know which one is right...maybe both.
Wow....tell us what meds he took to have such a miraculous recovery, Amy. It’s your duty to spread the word...especially to Democrat governors in Nevada and Michigan.
that fact that she isnt telling how he suddenly went from coughing up blood to doing fine is suspicious.

My son went into the hospital three years ago with double pneumonia that was not responding to normal antibiotics.
I don’t want to write a novel about it right now but to be brief the doctors could not figure out what was wrong. Lung tissue samples were sent to labs around the country as well as the CDC numerous times. NOBODY could identify it.
In the mean time he was encountering numerous serious medical problems. He was on life support a few times and still no idea what the base infection was.
Just as in the Spanish Flu he had the cytokine storm syndrome problems.
Now the whole world is hiding in the bunker because the doctors can’t cure the wuhan flu.
There's a difference between temporarily airborne, as in droplets, and more-or-less permanently airborne, as in say, weaponized anthrax spores. It has to do with the size of the particles.
As I understand it, most coughed or sneezed COVID droplets are virus-laden water, in size big enough that they mostly fall to the ground in a short time. How "big" is big, what the radius of spread is, and how long is "short" are questions I don't have the answers to.
“”I was far away, but I didn’t really think it.””
Yeah, Amy - your husband isn’t important. Easy to say she didn’t think he had it but she had more important things to do - like decide whether or not to stay in an impossible race for president. She had her priorities!! Like staying in DC and messing up the rest of the country!
Wait!!!! He didn’t die???? I thought Cov-19 was a death sentence!!! Is not every one testing positive for Cov-19 going to die????????? /sarc
All the “good turns” are a result of Chris Cuomo
This virus must not be of the air borne, aerosolized variety, or nevertrumper doctors would be verbally battering people to within an inch of their emotional life for denying that it is transmissible in that way.
Instead we have implications, hints in that direction. To throw us off.
Notice she never said that it was Corona.She said what else could it have been? How bout Ebola beeotch?
Wow. That is amazing testimony. This doctor clearly has no agenda. We need more doctors like him.
Were they ever reported as being ill?
My guess is he was never that bad. Something didn’t fit with that story. She was in DC, where he was, for days within the 14-day period she claimed she conveniently hadn’t seen him — and therefore didn’t have to go into quarantine for.
