WHEN Trump is vindicated on this liberals will say “Of course we knew it could help. We just wanted it confirmed.”

Where is the Disease Control Center on finding a better treatment?

I would well imagine there is an army of researchers working around the clock to find/develop an anti-viral drug to kill this virus, and a vaccine to program your immune system to recognize it. But, these are very intensive and time-consuming tasks. For instance, we have decoded the human genome and sequenced it. We know what part decides what color eyes you have, and what part determines how many fingers you grow on your right hand. A new virus like this is different. Your dealing with something that is infinitesimally small - maybe 50 to 100 atoms in width. Even then, we can extract the DNA but we have no idea what sequence does what without time consuming trial and error testing.

True. But there are some side effects and conterindjcatiobs. Best left to a discussion with your physician imho

I could be wrong, but I don’t remember him saying it was a cure. I thought he said it helped in the treatment of the corona virus.

The left doesn’t ever want to solve problems.

Now it is reported that nitric oxide kills the virus. Eat a lot of beets.

Or take a Viagra... 2 for 1 !!!

hype - extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion.

As Chris Plante always says liberals (RedTards) don't even know the meaning of words. Trump has sound reasons to be cautiously optimistic..

Ventilators are effective.


But I’ve read elsewhere that most people put on a vent for the KungFlu don’t survive.

“Mild can easily move to severe.”

And severe can easily move to mild.

This is true. I think the number is about a 30 percent survival rate. But, it does buy time. However, it doesn't kill coronavirus. Nothing has been undeniably medically proven to so far. But, there are some things in use now that appear to slow the progression of the virus enough so your immune system can take over. I hope they do. I would definitely try them.

shock, horror...the President contradicted their God, Fauci.

the writer is one of the Guardian’s numerous “environment” reporters - pushing gloBULL warming conspiracy theories 24/7.

from 2008-2012 he was a soccer (football) reporter at a regional newspaper in Australia!

Climate monitoring and research could fall victim to coronavirus, scientists fear

The HCQ is effective, though we don't know why.
We know why! In vitro studies show that chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine are ionophores for zinc (which blocks the reproduction of the virus in cells.)

Quercetin + Zinc works just as well
