We have an effective therapy, have had it since before 2009. Fauci begged to use HCQ during the MERS outbreak in 2009.
Now we have SARS-2, the Wuhan Boogaloo. We have a MOUNTAIN of empirical evidence that HCQ/Zinc is prophylactic and HCQ/Zinc/Antibiotic is a therapy for the infected.
Remdesivir is tested on 125 people with good results (and two deaths), but NOW there's hope?
Sorry, smells horrible.
The more days pass by, and the 'better' things get, it seems the blue states crack down even more, and they act like there's never going to be another election in which they'll have to answer for any of it.
Why is this new drug so hot when a 60 year old drug and a vitamin is doing so much better?
I'm with Rush on all of this. This makes zero sense, and these severe actions banning assembly and commerce are being done with zero legal authority.
Starting to get a little pissed here.
Because it costs a lot more and will earn the executives bigger bonuses.

Because it’s not a Trump pill.
Because despite what you read hydroxychloroquine is not that impressive in hospitalized patients. Because remdesivir specifically targets the corona virus mechanism. Because. we need a way to treat vented patients that works. That’s why
That study was HCQ alone.
The protocol being used now is HCQ/Zn/Azithromycin.
it is good for doctors to have options. If one drug causes bad side effects, it is good to have an alternative to use
From reports I’ve heard from the “experts”, Remdesivir is MUCH more expensive than the HCQ/Zink/Z-pack solution, even though the HCQ solution probably is better. (This is when we want to see the investment portfolios of the experts.)
And one more thing: The push for MASSIVE TESTING.
Seems to me that the people who were too smart to volunteer their DNA to 23 and Me are now going to be compelled to contribute to a national DNA database in order to go out and buy a loaf of bread.
EVERYONE on TV, and most politicians are screaming that they can’t open the economy unless everyone agrees to give up their DNA, which is of course tied to your SSN (unless you’re here illegally, which means you’re above the law so you’re good).
That smells even worse. Nobody is even pushing back on it. I’m very much opposed to donate my DNA to a national database, and that’s what state mandated Wuhan Flu testing is all about.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.
This will be the last time we surrender our nation to alarmist professionals.
Chloriquine is a different drug. It only gets talked about by the fake news and people on Facebook that get misguided info. Hydroxichloriquine is different. No side effects except diarrhea for a small number of people.
Because Big Pharma can make a Mint of $ on the new drug whereas they get zip with a cheap drug that has been out there for decades. Also, the new drug wasn’t suggested by Trump.
Sadly, we are surrounded by corrupt and evil democrats, including those portraying themselves as media. The president was so hopeful when he heard about the hydroxy (I suspect on Ingraham Angle) that he naively started to talk about it. He didn’t realize that the left hates him so much that they don’t even care if people die - they will fight whatever he promotes. He should have come out warning people not to try this drug.
His fingerprints are not on the Remdesivir, specifically, YET. Perhaps one drug works better on certain symptoms, and another drug on other symptoms. I have also heard that flipping patients over onto their stomachs does wonders as well. Between all of these remedies, it should remove much of the media-induced fear and panic that’s out there.
"OK China"
China’s investment
Need I say more?
Many bogus studies out now testing HCQ without Zinc and Z-Pack. Surprise surprise, results are “not as effective” . We’re seeing the dark underbelly of politically-profit driven medicine.
“Because it costs a lot more and will earn the executives bigger bonuses.”
Correct
Always follow the money.
