"In the current context of the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic on French territory and worldwide.In accordance with the Hippocratic Oath that we have taken, we obey our duty as doctors. We provide our patients with the best care for the diagnosis and treatment of a disease. We respect the rules of the art and the most recently acquired data of medical science.
We have decided :
We believe that it is not ethical that this treatment should not be systematically included in therapeutic trials concerning the treatment of Covid-19 infection in France."
- For all febrile (fever) patients who come to consult us, to carry out tests for the diagnosis of infection with Covid 19;
- For all infected patients, many of whom are not very symptomatic, have lung lesions on CT scan, we propose, at the earliest stage of the disease, as soon as the diagnosis is made:
- a treatment with the combination of hydroxychloroquine (200 mg x 3 per day for 10 days) + Azithromycin (500 mg on the 1st day then 250 mg per day for 5 more days); as part of the precautions for use of this combination (including an electrocardiogram on Day0 and Day2). In cases of severe pneumonia, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is also used.
Was it reported as too difficult to understand? Perhaps too much French? Too many numbers? Multi-syllable words?
Cuomo is going to unleash this treatment on Tuesday ... would you rather wait for FoxNews to put out 5 grafs of short junk with the requisite grammatical errors?
Informative. Thanx.
You sound like someone with medical education/experience. Can you please address HOW an antibiotic affects a virus? I understand the hydroxycholoquine is an ionophore and also (somehow) counteracts the virus’ action re: reduction of iron transport via heme. But I do not comprehend how an antibiotic can affect a virus even after being capable of penetrating it.
I have asked this before, with no response. Professionals only, please. This question is driving me crazy.
It’s known to have anti-viral properties. There are studies of azithromycin’s effects with other viruses.
If you want to explore that, do a google search that includes these three terms:
azithromycin antiviral mechanism
Here’s another search for info about that.

After 13K+ posts, I believe I deserve an explanation. You were Navy, I have Navy in my family, we follow the chain-of-command, I've asked politely, I've followed protocol, I asked Admin Moderator; everything I've posted is cited, linked, and people are welcome to refute those cited links on the merits, but I purposely put it in ExtendedNews rather than just jam it above that Topic level in the Sidebar, and yet it was removed...
Hey Jim, here's the President of the United States Donald J. Trump right now, talking about this very PQL+AZT treatment that Cuomo is going to use as standard COVID-19 treatment in New York starting this Tuesday:
"Why should be testing it in a test tube for a year and half when we can be saving thousands of people right now...we think it might work based on very strong evidence...I want to tell you, I'm very excited about that...this has been taken for a long time so we know a lot about this." -- President Trump, 3-22-20, 7:04pm.
Hope this works
Ok, we’ll run it up the the yardarm.
Well, I owe it to you, Josh. ;-)
Bonne chance!
WAIT A MINUTE....this has not been approved by Dr. Farci.
Glad Dr Fauxi was not in today’s briefing. He stands in the way of treatment protecting his turf and his Big Pharma buddies.
It is a success and the only reason we have not gone full blown treatment here is Dr Farci and the CDC bureaucrats that are just the medical side of the FBI cannot make any money off of it.
We, stupid masses, need a $200/dose solution.
ANOTHER protocol that is NOT approved by FDA but it is curing me. Effin bureaucrats can suck it.
Plaquinile. It is a generic for hydroquinine.
Add CNN to list.
Fauci was conspicuously absent in today’s briefing. The President was very careful not to expound on any possible disagreement they may have had. And contrary to other posters hereon, Fauci and the President did display in two different pressers their differences on this topic. After the last disagreement on Friday, Trump tweeted the drug combination would be permitted for compassionate use. In Saturday’s presser, Fauci had a frown on his face up until he was asked to speak, and the topic about the drug therapy never came up. On Sunday, he was a no-show. I suspect something awry.
I told hubby I’m not worried about his getting this anymore in spite of his being in a risk group.
The hospital he’d end up at in all likelihood is a teaching hospital. They’re probably pre-writing their paper right now about this. And waiting patiently for enough patients to make statistical relevance...
Hopefully that lyme tick wasn’t in your ear? eeeeee...
You say that like it’s a bad thing. I take offense.
Not really.
Thanks for putting together this outstanding post, Stan.
Vive La Stan!
