Zinc.
for takers, I’m giving 65/35 now, down from 75/25
I see you’re a betting man, and with no sports book... what’s a man to do?
Let’s ask the Fluebros what treatment they would suggest. Whatcha think. fellas?
HCQ & zinc ? Yes or no ?
These details weigh heavily upon treatments going forward all over.
Prayers up.
Boris Johnson led (and still has to lead) the UK out of the clutches of the Brussels bureaucracy and the UK’s own stupid leftists and deep-state.
Its not a time for transition or wavering.
Hydroxychloroquine NOW! What are they waiting for????
If he goes on Vent it’s nearly a death sentence. Near 80% mortality.
20% chance.
This man, and everyone his age and older should be put on hydroxy the minute they are tested positive.
Yesterday somebody had data only 1 in 13
And the one year survival for the one that makes it is bad too.
What a stupid and immature comment at a time like this.
I would say his pre existing conditions are not working in his favor. If he wasn’t fat, diabetic, have lung issues goong in he’d be fine.
“ Hydroxychloroquine NOW! What are they waiting for????”
It’s the NHS. Maybe the NHS doctors have not heard of the treatment.
LOL!!! Almost as stupid and immature as the Fluebros, and every comment they have posted, cause "it's just the flu".
And if he didn’t have Covid-19, he would not be in ICU.
If not, does the UK permit off-label prescriptions?
What are flubros?
If Johnson gave NHS the order not to give him any special treatment, he’s in very deep trouble.
A MALARIA DRUG, backed by US President Donald Trump, is the most effective available treatment to tackle coronavirus according to an international survey.
A total of 6,200 doctors from 30 countries took part in the survey with 37 percent backing hydroxychloroquine. Physicians around the world have been given clearance to prescribe the drug, but the UK is waiting until clinical trials are completed. Hydroxychloroquine is a form of chloroquine and used by the NHS to treat rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
[...]
In Italy, the country most affected by COVID-19, 53 percent of doctors say they have used it.
China, meanwhile, where the outbreak was first recorded has 43 percent of doctors backing the treatment.
In the United Kingdom, the figure is just 13 percent of those surveyed with this believed to be in private clinics.
Probably too late. He's in day 10 since his onset. He could be gone in 24 hours, day 10 or 11 is when the patient crashes. HCQ works very well if the patient takes it for 4-5 days, before the immune system attacks the lungs and inflammation becomes overwhelming.
