It is not.
I was challenged on the source.
Keep your up, please.
yours is under the breaking news on the side...first article.
:-)
Why limited to only the drugs from the stockpile? Won’t that delay treatment while the drugs are sent out?
Why limted to only current hospital patients. New hospital patients out of luck?
Why limited to patients weighing at least 110 pounds? Don’t want no short people round here?
It seems to me that if you test positive and showing symptoms, you should get the drug. Not wait until the patient needs hospitalization.
Agreed. I think if you test positive you should get the drug.
Wow thanks.
Thanks mod, or Jim.

Bump for FDA emergency use authorization for HCQ.
“But thus far, there is little scientific evidence that chloroquine, or its closely-related analogue hydroxychloroquine, are effective in treating Covid-19”
CNN desperate for these drugs to fail so people will keep dying and the economy crashes ...
“Why limited to only the drugs from the stockpile? Wont that delay treatment while the drugs are sent out?”
No. there’s a nationwide shortage of these drugs right now, and these donations to the national strategic stockpile present a desperately needed massive new infusion of these drugs into the system ...
Is there a reason the entire country is not on this if it proves effective?
Worst flame war ever.
Nice to see.
To prevent people from hoarding like toilet paper.
It should be prescribed before hospitalization. I hope this will change. Maybe its because of the current supply. The supply is about to increase dramatically and when that happens, theres no excuse for not prescribing it for everyone with symptoms. Then it could be prescribed for use prophylactically - like for malaria.
How many thousands have to be cured before it’s no longer “anecdotal”???
They are not without their issues - heart arrhythmias, for one.
RA patients can get AFIB with it..I think they are still doing studies.
A healthy 19 yr old who tests positive after returning from spring break should not receive it before your Grandmother in a nursing home.
Hydroxy is going to being limited supply until we ramp up production and get the pipline filled.
Here's the numbers from COVID Tracking Project (Have no idea if they're legit)
831,351 tested
692,290 neg 80% 139,061 pos 20%
19,730 hospitalized 14% of pos 2,428 deaths 1.7%
good news. looks like the lumbering behemoths of bureaucracy are slowly shaking themselves awake. as usual private labs and excellent doctors are/were working way ahead of them.
