[[You saw Dr Zev saying to use it early and even as a prophylaxis.]]
A lot of doctors and apparently nurses and i would imagine health care workers too are using it that way- for a drug that ‘hasn’t been clinical trialed yet, and therefore4 not available to patients in sum states, i find it odd that medical personnel are using it themselves-
Hey Bob, Brian here.
Long ago there was a lab test where some Chloroquine was put in with some SARS-Cov and a definite effect was observed and documented. There was no Zpac and no zinc. But the virus was inhibited compared to a control. Then the pandemic was over and that work was left with a sigh of relief. It was a big scare ya know?
When the Chines doctors right after Christmas looked at this new virus, at first they thought it WAS SARS again. The ran the Sanger Sequencing, and put it through an Homology Modeler available to everyone online. It was different enough to declare it a novel coronavirus, but it was so close, so we got the name SARS-Cov-2.
Chloroquine is still available in Africa but not in China. They had Hydroxyl-Chloroquine the safer version and decided to try it and it showed the same effect. In hospital though they reported disappointing results. The South Koreans used the Zpac with it and perhaps the zinc too getting better results.
I cannot verify that it is actually unavailable anywhere. What I am seeing is that some doctors just don’t believe in it. They want to see a dramatic effect in the ICU and that is not happening.
If we follow Zelensky and give HCQ early,
and if the biologic does what we think it will do in the ICU,
and if more convalescent plasma is identified and administered,
and if remdesivir can get approved,
and if the vaccine plays out like we hope...
