Here’s the question that MUST BE RAISED when they do a study on Hydroxychloroquine for CoVid-19 CoVid-19 patients-— AT WHAT POINT IN THE DISEASE DID THEY START ADMINISTERING THE DRUG?
The pharmacists won’t dispense the drug unless there is a “positive” COVID-19 test. The problem is that the test may not be available or take days to get a result.
Physicians want to start hydroxychloroquine and zithromax with the onset of fever and dry cough.
If you have to wait for shortness of breath and actual pneumonia, the therapy may not work.
If these tests are intentionally designed to administer HCQ when the patient’s condition is so severe that he has to be intubated, then it is not a fair test. HCQ was never intended to help the patient at a very late stage of the disease, all successful studies show that it must be given as soon as CoVid-19 symptoms are manifested.
I remember many years ago 15 to 20, when there was a zinc product that was a sponsor of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. It was a Q-tip like swab that you dabbed goo in your nostrils When you felt the symptoms of a cold coming on. And it worked.
But someone in California brought forth a lawsuit for some reason or other and the product was re-configured into a different delivery system etc. they stopped sponsoring the show - I tried it once or twice in the subsequent form but didn’t continue to use it. Funny how these things repeat
