Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
3. 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:
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
Thanks, i had sped read that article before- it does look though that 65% infact did have covid- and none of them died- which means 434 had the virus, and all survived- He didn’t treat the young people with no breathign issues
3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated
just those with issues breathing given the seriousness of the virus- whether they actually had covid or not- turns out 65% did- and out of that 434 people, he had a 100% success rate- apparently0-
I guess the point is now- while his findings weren’t an official clinical trial, it was anecdotal evidence, and during pandemics, anecdotal evidences can mean the difference between life and death- and it seems there is growing evidence that the Hydroxy dug is saving lives- lots of lives % wise
But we’ll have to wait for NY results, and the new Washington results too- BUT- people should be given the choice to get these drugs if they choose, while they are waiting- as there is ample evidence the drug is safe, used for a long time without serious concerns- and because there is now growing evidence it’s working- We are now practically, if not actually, at a point where withholding it is immoral-
