A 30-year-old Brooklyn charter school teacher is clinging to life at Brookdale Hospital after contracting coronavirus — and her desperate family is calling for help from a pharmaceutical giant.
“My sister Rana Zoe Mungin has COVID-19 and is fighting for her life, and she is currently on life support,” wrote Rana’s sibling, Mia Mungin in a Twitter post late Tuesday.
mia mungin @MiaMungin My sister Rana Zoe Mungin has COVID-19 and is fighting for her life, and she is currently on life support. She’s only 30 years old and has such a bright future ahead of her. I’m begging for some help to get her on the new drug Remdesivir or any help you can provide. #COVID19

They didn’t try hydroxycloroquine and zinc?
Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko Board Certified Family Practitioner 501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950 845-238-0000
March 23, 2020
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

Sorry but is she a union teacher? That might get her an exception.
Evil.
Comobidity issues?
From a charter school? Not likely.
even intravenous vitamin c and zinc will help.
she is CHARTER SCHOOL. They aren’t union.
Prednisone and chicken soup will help even more.
Unless she is enrolled in a state-approved trial, she may not be able to legally get hydroxychloroquine.
From https://forward.com/news/national/442285/coronavirus-hydroxychloroquine-trump-doctor/:
On Monday evening, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo released an executive order that effectively ended pharmacists’ ability to prescribe hydroxychloroquine for use in treating Covid-19, and prohibited any experimental use of the drug outside of state-approved clinical trials.
New York should certainly be testing Remdesivir, too.
I hope she doesn't fall through the cracks.
After that, it's IV Remdesivir, perhaps with Chloroquine. Judgment call.
"Rana, who has asthma..."
Bingo...
“...ended pharmacists’ ability to prescribe hydroxychloroquine for use in treating Covid-19...”
Is the executive order banning pharmacist from prescribing, or doctors from prescribing?

She needs to contact Scott Adams via Twitter.
That's awesome! The more Dimwit democrats do this, the more will be bitten in the ass in November.
Yes it is. They are going to let many die so Cuomo can declare clinical victory in the face of PDJT. Disgusting.
Pharmacies will be robbed and not just by criminals, but by desperate people trying to save their own or a loved one's life.
People known to have it, such as those with RA or lupus will be at risk of robbery and violence.
This kind of crap is why people need to stay home until they get all of this worked out. Have seen several Governors outlaw it.
