LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada’s governor has signed an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs for someone who has the coronavirus.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak’s order Tuesday restricting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine comes after President Donald Trump touted the medication as a treatment for the virus.

Can he be personally held legally liable?
This Dr. Zev Zelenko may be a total quack. However, he may be on target.
Corona out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days

To all medical professionals around the world:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I
have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close
knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and
unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19,
and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means
more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are
1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities,
etc).
Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the
pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless
their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and
South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know
that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication
within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial
infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the
patient is low.
Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another
150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had
ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of
any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and
Diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as
possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.
With much respect,
Dr. Zev Zelenko

Please pay attention to this report by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security regarding Chloroquine Poisoning
The drug chloroquine, currently being investigated as a potential treatment for COVID-19, resulted in multiple overdose deaths in Nigeria. In the short period after the drug was touted by
There are sometimes legitimate reasons for civil disobedience.
He’s going to look like a total douche as this treatment increasingly shows to be effective.
Congratulations, Nevada. You get what you vote for.
legally I doubt the governor can get away with this stupid dumb dictat
a physician is permitted to prescribe any medicine in the US Pharmacopia
The article is hot garbage as well. Lies about what Trump actually said about the therapy, while using the “falsely stated” trope against the President. These people are beyond aweful.
Effin DemoRat. Scourges worse that the virus.
This guy has let the power of the governorship go straight to his liberal head. Nevada folks need to knock him down a notch or two
Anyone that passes in his state and could have been helped by this medication can sue the state into oblivion!!! They are using these drugs in NY as of today if they are helpful this IDIOT governor better run for the hills!!!
Lol!
Thanks for making me laugh, TGKC!
My anger meter had just maxed out!
At least he didn’t ban the use of fish-tank cleaner.
WTF! Are all you democrat voters PAYING ATTENTION?! This is how much democrat politicians “care” about you. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Dr. Fauci backs this decision 100%. He and the governor want to wait for studies to be completed...around 2024.
Who votes for these Democrat despots?
Abortions however still continue.
This actually makes sense.
He wants all sorts of people to die or be murdered.
Doctors in Nevada suddenly find coronavirus patients also have malaria too.
I believe this drug is also used for lupus.
The Governors of New York and Nevada have declared themselves Supreme Doctor of their respective states.
They are all knowing and all powerful in the field of medicine. Their judgement shall not be questioned in any case involving the COVID-19 virus.
Is Comrade Idiot Sisolak a doctor?
What is going to happen when this drug is found to be helping in most people? The COVID19 crisis will be off the news in two hot minutes.
