All people with brains could read https://www.sermo.com. It is quite interesting and important information about Covid 19 cure. Ex could relax.
I see Trump called his other authoritarian buddy for help on finding experimental subjects to prove himself right huh?
The New York Times reports... I stopped reading right here. Fake news at work to feed degenerate minds. Here is the real source of information. https://www.sermo.com/press-releases/category/week-of-0413/ Sermo Reports Week 3 Results: Globally 17% Point Increase in COVID Treaters Who Have Used Hydroxychloroquine (33%-50%) and Azithromycin (41%-58%) April 15, 2020 Percentage of New York Physicians Who Have Used Hydroxychloroquine Nearly Doubled, Italian and French Physicians Jumped 30% Points + Over 2 Weeks Plasma Still Perceived as Most Effective but Not Widely Used Perception of Hydroxychloroquine’s Efficacy is Significantly Higher Among Physicians in Europe and China vs US Physicians (50% vs 29%)
Yes, I know my friends, you would like to forget about this inconvenient topic. I will not let it to die. Sermo Reports: One-Quarter of Global Physicians Agree That Healthcare Workers Should Take Hydroxychloroquine to Prevent COVID-19 Infections; Use of Hydroxychloroquine in Prophylaxis and Even in Undiagnosed Suspected Patient Cases is Seen April 17, 2020 Sermo’s Barometer studies have polled over 20,000 physicians globally regarding COVID-19 New York – April 17, 2020 – Hydroxychloroquine, a widely available and inexpensive drug initially used for malaria as well as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, has been the subject of intense medical and political debate as researchers work quickly to determine its ability to fight coronavirus. According to this week’s Sermo COVID-19 Real Time Barometer of 5,158 physicians, one-quarter of global physicians agree that healthcare workers should take hydroxychloroquine to prevent COVID-19 infections with 50% having used or seen hydroxychloroquine used in their professional settings since March 25, 2020. There is little data about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has cited cardiotoxicity as a leading concern with the treatment, particularly in patients with underlying health issues and immunosuppression. Hydroxychloroquine use among patients: In the US alone, there are more than 24 hydroxychloroquine trials underway to test the drug’s capabilities for preventing and treating coronavirus. While universities like NYU Langone Medical School are evaluating whether hydroxychloroquine can prevent people exposed to the novel coronavirus from getting sick and states like South Dakota are conducting their own clinical trials, physicians are increasingly tasked with making real-time decisions based on the limited information available. Prophylactic use of Hydroxychloroquine for patients: By the first week of April 2020, of the physicians who had prescribed hydroxychloroquine to their patients, 22% of them had already prescribed or had seen hydroxychloroquine prescribed prophylactically in their setting (n=1443). While most patient types receiving hydroxychloroquine were high risk (including first responders), a significant share of physicians had even used hydroxychloroquine for low risk patients: 87% of physicians indicated use in high risk patients, including first responders (n= 277) 31% of physicians indicated use for low risk patients (n=100) Hydroxychloroquine usage for suspected undiagnosed cases: Findings from the Sermo study also reveal that physicians have prescribed hydroxychloroquine for both symptomatic patients and undiagnosed patients, and the use of hydroxychloroquine in clinical settings has been on the rise since March 25, 2020. As of April 8, 50% of global physicians have used or seen hydroxychloroquine used in their professional settings (Week 1, March 25: 33%; Week 2, April 1: 44%; Week 3, April 8th: 50%). Additionally, physicians reported the patient types they are treating with hydroxychloroquine include: Week 1 through Week 2 – 57% vs. 65% (respectively) of physicians used hydroxychloroquine for diagnosed patients with severe symptoms Week 1 through Week 2 – 45% vs. 49% (respectively) of physicians used hydroxychloroquine for diagnosed patients with mild symptoms Week 1 through Week 2 – 17% vs. 22% (respectively) of physicians used hydroxychloroquine for undiagnosed patients with severe symptoms Week 1 through Week 2 – 16% of physicians used hydroxychloroquine for undiagnosed patients with mild symptoms N= physicians who have prescribed hydroxychloroquine (W1: 2573, W2: 1443) An anonymous emergency medicine physician on Sermo commented: “Despite the superstorm of controversy surrounding hydroxychloroquine, it still remains the leading treatment option for severe patients and is even being used in milder cases and patients who are simply suspected of COVID. At this stage with so little evidence, doctors have very limited options.” Sermo’s COVID-19 Real Time Barometer observational study polled over 20,000 expert physicians in 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Russia, China, Japan and Australia. All data published to date can be found here.
It is good to see proper trials moving forward with hydroxychloroquine based therapy. We will wait for the results of these studies to see if it is effective for COVID-19 treatment. The reality is that doctors are prescribing hydroxychloroquine since is is cheap and widely available -- and there is nothing else available in most locations that may be used as a treatment. So "why not?" Yet as the article noted --- "There is little data about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has cited cardiotoxicity as a leading concern with the treatment, particularly in patients with underlying health issues and immunosuppression."
We are glad you kept it alive with all the nonsense https://apnews.com/a5077c7227b8eb8b0dc23423c0bbe2b2
Far right anti-abortion, anti-vaccine quack Republican politicians as their members. Next up they will release a study saying injecting bleach is great.
