No ventilator I know of yet. Her office is pretty worried. The time to use HCQ/zine is now before needing ventilator.
Yeah, for sure. I was asking because some people did not test positive until they did the lavage for the vent.
The time for HCQ/Zinc or any other treatment is before you need hospitalization. As far as I've seen, hospitalization runs about 10% fatality rate. By the time you get to "difficulty breathing", you are pretty serious. When NY was testing ONLY people admitted, they were up over 13% fatalities. Unless hospitals are overwhelmed, or nearly full, people should really be getting treatment before they begin struggling for oxygen.
With many of our nations hospital ER's and Acute Care clinics telling CV-19 patients "stay home", and huge numbers of beds sitting empty, and not contributing to COVID-19 treatment, how many patients sat at home while their cases worsened until they needed oxygen?
So far, the strategy seems to be let it run its course, admit if needed, give oxygen if needed, then put on vent if needed and THEN try some experimental drugs. Considering pretty much all of the drugs work better if used early, this seems like a poor strategy.
