Let the totalitarian States try to ban the treatment of people with this. The bloodbath against the Democrats in November will be worse than what it will be now.
BUMP
It is not daily. That is the treatment.
For prophelactic use, I believe is is simply once a WEEK.
I believe.
RE: If you can give the public a daily dose of HCQ with a Z-pack, we can open up the country immediately.
Let’s assume that HCQ plus Z-pack INDEED acts as prophylaxis against Covid-19...
I am a numbers guy — how many pills of HCQ and Zinc does a person need daily/weekly to protect against Covid-19?
After we know the answer, Multiply that by 300 million for the USA ( make that 7 billion for the world ) by X number of days a year the dosage needs to be taken and you will see the daunting task of producing these pills.
As a prophylactic, there is no need to take a Z-Pack with the HCQ as its purpose is to prevent an subsequent opportunistic bacteria causing pneumonia in a recovering Covid-19 patient.
A game-changer, yes.
Open the country immediately, well not so fast there. We would need about 200 million doses per day to do that. That much does not exist -- yet. Not that it could not be made at that rate, but it would be an engineering challenge.
Maybe everyone over a certain age gets the drug, with a lot in reserve for younger people who get the disease, and we ramp up production. I have great confidence in DJT getting us back & running ASAP but it is not going to be "immediately".
BTW, I think the US is going to come back faster than other countries, because of DJT. This will be huge for us. Read any economics book and they are always talking about certain countries or regions having a "comparative advantage" in producing certain goods.
Comparative advantage is going to swing to the US side when we open up.
“This is a game-changer. If you can give the public a daily dose of HCQ with a Z-pack, we can open up the country immediately.”
of maybe just the vulnerable population could be offered it as a prophylactic ... as for rest of the population, an HCQ/antibiotic/zinc cure at the first sign of the disease might be a safer and more effective way to go, since younger, healthier people are less prone to severe cases ...
