[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is really sad to me is that media hates DJT so much that they are gleeful to think that a promising treatment does not work---just becaues Trump wants it to work.

Who are the caring people?  Those who want it to fail, or those who want it to succeed?[/quote]
Why did Trump glom on to hydroxychloroquine? Is he a medical doctor? He should stay in his lane.[/quote]

Because it was the only thing that had shown signs of any success when this started.  Now, there are a couple of other things, but none as widely available.  [/quote]

One of the issues with the studies being done is that they are being done on patients who were very ill already. Lots of governors didn’t even allow a doc to prescribe it unless the patient was hospitalized and in a bad way. The doctors that had success with the protocol used it BEFORE patients were bad enough to be hospitalized, were still at home, and were just starting to go down a bad path. Which makes a lot of sense, given how the drug works, which is to stop replication of the pathogen in RBCs. Once replication is high (i.e. patient is already sick enough to require hospitalization),  a drug that works in this manner would not have any effect anymore.[/quote]

Total BS.     Most patients with the disease do not need to go to the hospital whether or not they take hydroxychloroquine.         And the side effects of hydroxychloroquine are an important consideration when using it on patients who aren't even hospitalized yet.       [/quote]
