Here is what I have been saying. It is probably too late to start blue people on meds. It is probably over treating to put everybody who tests positive on drugs. So who do we put on drugs, even if they work to some extent? Everyone admitted to the hospital? Maybe. It would be logical. But first I still want to know that there were no or few people on Plaquenil prior who are among the Dead and seriously ill. Putting people who are critically ill on a drug we don’t have a real good idea works clinically could be a real mistake.

And any. Body who says they took it for months in Viet Nam, you were 18 and healthy as a horse. You probably could have taken small doses of cyanide.

Given that 92% of people put on ventilators are dead anyway, giving them antivirals by default might not be such a gamble. The number of dead on ventilators exceeds the number of dead on antivirals by a factor of ~2 (NIV) and ~3 (IV) respectively, so it’s clear not everyone on a ventilator was getting antivirals.
