AS for HydroxyChoroquine:
“We are using hydroxychloroquine as an off-label use,” Varga said on Monday. “We use it for our intubated patients for the most part. We’re also using it for some of our nursing home patients because that’s a group that you don’t want to get sick, don’t want to it to spread because they’re so vulnerable.”
“And the other trial that we are looking at right now that we hope to get launched later this week, we’ve actually had it fast-tracked up until now, is actually using hydroxychloroquine for what we call chemoprophylaxis or prevention for front-line caregivers,” he added.
Chemoprophylaxis refers to the administration of a medication to prevent the development of a disease, according to Medicinenet.com.
Varga went on to say that there are currently 1,400 coronavirus patients in Hackensack Meridian Health facilities, with more than 300 in the ICU and more than 300 on ventilators.
“We’re probably using the hydroxychloroquine recipe in some way shape or form in about three-quarters of our patients right now,” Varga said.
” “We use it for our intubated patients for the most part.”
TOO LATE!
HALF (50%) of those people will die anyway.
Start treating people as soon as symptoms appear or they get a positive test result. (100% cure rate).

From all the literature I’ve seen to date, and admittedly I have no more access to anything than the common joe and am not an MD.. but the survival rate once Intubated is low... something like 15-20%... and I could be wrong, but I don’t think anyone over the age of 70 has recovered once intubated maybe not anyone over 60 worldwide of this to date.
Seems to me compassionate measures should be kicking in before Intubation in critical cases... given the low survivability rates once folks are.
If those survival rates don’t improve, it seems like all that is being done is prolonging of suffering for many people being intubated... a week or two, gasping for breath, with no one you know even around you for weeks before you finally succumb to organ failure due to the lack of oxygen.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong about recover of elderly once intubated.... Because I would love to be told I am wrong on this.
