And I agree with him: doctors should be the ones deciding and the Feds should allow off-label prescription in a time of emergency like this.

daz28 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is why you don't do what he did: But in those few days, a few people who began self medicating with the drugs in an effort to prevent COVID-19 have died, and others have been hospitalized.

Using that standard is silly. Again this medication has been around for over 50 years and at no time was its side effect profile a problem...until now. You see, at present there is NO TREATMENT for Wuhan virus. So for those experiencing severe symptoms when no one can predict whether they'll worsen or not, it's better to at least give the patient a chance with this medication. There have been reports of it working and we don't have time for controlled studies. And I'll bet if given the choice between possibly dying from Wuhan virus and taking the med, you'd take the med. You probably wouldn't admit it... 3 minutes ago, daz28 said: This is why you don't do what he did: But in those few days, a few people who began self medicating with the drugs in an effort to prevent COVID-19 have died, and others have been hospitalized.

Is that how radical Trump supporters get smarter by ignoring people with an alternate position? If the guy had of done a good job there, I'd have said so, but it was horrendous. I've always said that if he was just a little different he could have been a remarkable president, but he just can't help himself. 1 minute ago, Doc said: No drug is completely safe in everyone.

If you have or are in a condition that otherwise seems irreversible I'm totally fine with an experimental drug. This drug has had NO effect on symptoms. It simply cuts the virus load. I'm skeptical, but damn right I'd take it if I thought I was clocking out for good. The problem is he was saying that there's NO chance it could harm you. HE WAS WRONG. There's not even any logic in him saying that, because no one has any idea if it actually saved anyone, or if it actually made their condition worse or even was the cause of their death. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-baby! Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Trump is getting desperate. I look for him to lose his ***** very soon. He’s tired of listening to the experts and wants to get back to normal. More people will die because of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think everyone should have a fire pit in their back yard. I'm sitting around a fire with the family right now on a cool night with a clear sky and the big bright moon shining down through the trees. It's like camping except I don't have to sleep in a tent and when I want a crisp cold German beer the kitchen is only 100 feet away. It really is amazing. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the absence of any treatment at present, and especially when talking about a drug that's been out there and used for the past 50 years with no hue and cry over its safety...until now, it's totally acceptable to use it for patients who are experiencing worsening symptoms.

My neighbors actually set up the whole camping rig in the yard the other night. Definitely a great way to get away from all this. I'm pretty stressed out from it all, as I'm sure everyone is.

In those patients, the load of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, in their blood dropped after they received the medications, although their clinical symptoms didn’t change much. In another study of about 100 patients in China, doctors also reported some success in using the drug duo to reduce the viral load in patients. -Oh NOW we trust China Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said the data so far “was not done in a controlled clinical trial. So you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.” “In general if hydroxychloroquine really, really worked, and it was a magic drug for COVID-19, we would know it by now,” says Dr. David Sullivan, professor of microbiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and an infectious disease physician at the university’s malaria research institute. “Right now we have no clinical evidence that it works.” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
