The New York Post ^ | April 6, 2020 | Carl Campanille

America’s major medical society specializing in the treatment of respiratory diseases has endorsed using hydroxychloroquine for seriously ill hospitalized coronavirus patients.

The American Thoracic Society issued guidelines Monday that suggest COVID-19 patients with pneumonia get doses of the anti-malaria drug.

“To prescribe hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia if all of the following apply: a) shared decision-making is possible, b) data can be collected for interim comparisons of patients who received hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) versus those who did not, c) the illness is sufficiently severe to warrant investigational therapy, and d) the drug is not in short supply,” the Thoracic Society said.

CNN are the worst yet again, and then we switched over to those 2 clowns on MSNBC saying Trump is stupid, he is lying etc. That is not news that is their opinion.
It is rare that any news channels just has the news today

Good for you.

I prefer not to play Russian Roulette with any drug unless it is the only option.

How does this read to you ( from the article):

B. data can be collected for interim comparisons of patients who received hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) versus those who did not.

Aren’t they deliberately withholding HCQ from one group to compare how they will do with those who will be given HCQ?

When purchasing some Quercetin Phytosome, you should also buy zinc citrate and take both as directed.

Where would I find that?

The idea is to give to patients at the onset of respiratory stress, I’m hoping this “waiting until they are seriously” ill doesn’t cost more lives. Imagine you waiting around to get near death before they treat, I’d come unglued. This doctors are not God, if a patient doesn’t want to wait to get lung damage and or wind up on a ventilator s/he should be able to invoke the “right to try” not the “right to try just before I die” right.

[The AMA has not been “American” or “Medical” for a long, long time. The # of MDs, or the %age, has been barely above single digits for decades. Phylis Schafly wrote an expose on them years ago. They are frauds and their “Journal” has been a joke for decades.]


Kinda like the way the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has Gov Moonbeam as executive chair.
