Wonder what the next “delay” will be.

An Obama judge issues an injunction?

I can’t imagine that some states are not currently prescribing these medications. Let NY delay, but if effective it will come out.

You're right. I think many places are. Haven't seen much about it other than a slow trickle. What makes NY so disappointing is that this was a high profile trial that would be hard to ignore.

Originally, I thought their motives were pure. That we'd get true, honest results from whatever this trial would show (good or bad). I gave Cuomo props for jumping at the chance to give this a try.

Now that I see the actions of other governors and the fact that NY has been walking this slower that I thought, I've lost trust in them. And that is disheartening. How naive of me.

I think the right hand & the left don’t shake anymore. My cousin, the nurse says these therapies are already being used at NYU Hosp. Maybe this other is formalized?

They haven’t started yet? Sure, let another thousand people die first.

I don’t get it. Imagine the backlash if next week, they start trials, and it turns out it is actually a miracle, and it stops 90% of deaths.

How do you then face the hundreds of families whose loved ones died between the time Trump noted this was a possible cure, and the time you managed to start the trial?

I'd agree with that. Problem is we're not seeing any quantified results from these therapies. I'd been hoping this formalized trial might start producing more publicly available results.

Instead we continue to get a trickle here and there of "anecdotal" observations. Which, if your cousin confides any in you, feel free to ping me in on!

Same here. I was hoping we’d start seeing results maybe as early as this weekend. Very frustrating.

Latest data post from the French MD who popularized the drug shows 1 death out of 701 treated with at least 3 days of hydroxychloroquine±azithromycin. So it’s not quite perfect.

The fastest way to give these statistical idiots the answer they need is to infect them with the virus and give them the placebo. Then and only then they will realize they are only doing what they are asking others do, DIE!

When the infliction involves DEATH, statistics are of only value to the idiots who are still living, they mean nothing to the dead!

When the result is DEATH the only intelligent action is to throw the kitchen sink at it and play with the numbers and your pud later.

Welp, according to the SAME ABC news network, an article from March 24 stated that the trials began last Tuesday.

Color me confused.

Why all the waiting? They’ve determined that the treatments in question are safe, so even if not fully effective they won’t do harm.

The politicians will not do that. They have armed bodyguards to keep angry relatives of the deceased from approaching them. They don't actually care about a few dead peasants.

And they don't really want a cure right now anyway, at last not one available to the peasantry. The pandemic offers too many opportunities for politicians to seize and consolidate totalitarian powers. It is in their best interests to let it run on a little longer.

But if they get sick, you can bet that they will use every possible treatment to save themselves.

‘Cuomo has made it illegal in NYS to be prescribed this drug by your doctor without being in one of his studies. And apparently his studies take time to start and will be hard to get into.
This is pathetic.”
I asked the question on a FR thread yesterday about what did Governor Cuomo’s order actually mean in practice. And here it is apparently. This is criminal. People should be arrested over this. Laura Ingraham has a doctor on from Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan who says 100 people had the virus and were treated with Hydroxychloroquine and Zithromycin and they had no deaths. And yet people are dying at hospitals all over NYC. It seems that the point of the order was to stop doctors from administering the drugs under compassionate care guidelines. Outrageous, and no-one in the press that I’ve seen has asked Cuomo that question.
