I am all in favor of people doing studies. And I am encouraged by the word "trial" in his comment. It suggests something more vigorous than just giving everyone hydroxychloroquine. Hopefully they are going to collect data but I understand that can be a secondary issue. As I have written in other threads I hope this works, bigly. |
It will be interesting to see if this works. The drug is believed to prevent the entry of the virus into the endosome where it produces single stranded RNA to replicate itself. If it works, the virus wouldn't be able to spread.

Blueash. You and I may not agree sometimes about certain issues but I respect your medical training and your scientific reticence and your amazing mind. Thank God for our medical professionals, particularly M.D.s. That goes for you too Golfing Eagle and my neighbor, you know who you are. Sometimes being gifted is extremely hard.

I believe that it should be up to the patient and doctor to decide whether or not to take this risk. It seems small to me, but for someone that is young and healthy and is experiencing mild symptoms, the risk may not be worth it. If I, on the other hand, contract this virus, I will be screaming for these drugs. But then again, I'm 68 years old with several underlying conditions that put me at great risk. |

Not only effective and safe but also shortens the "viral shedding" time so that promotes less transmission. I would absolutely use this drug. |
Thank you for a voice of reason. People hear what they want to hear. That's how rumors start and false hope instilled in people. Everyone read all the fine print not just the part you want to hear. There is a difference between doctor and scientists. Between experimental and known results. Please stop. Too.many people believe what you pass on.
