    Then why are the NIH, a major drug co. and a nationally recogonized university launching studies of HCQ?

    Penn Launches Trial to Evaluate Hydroxychloroquine to Treat, Prevent COVID-19

    Early Treatment of COVID Patients with HCQ+AZ Shows Benifit, Study Finds.
    Background: In France, the combination hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZ) is used in the treatment of COVID-19.

    Methods: We retrospectively report on 1061 SARS-CoV-2 positive tested patients treated with HCQ (200 mg three times daily for ten days) + AZ (500 mg on day 1 followed by 250 mg daily for the next four days) for at least three days. Outcomes were death, clinical worsening (transfer to ICU, and more than 10 day hospitalization) and viral shedding persistence (more than 10 days).

    Results: A total of 1061 patients were included in this analysis (46.4% male, mean age 43.6 years -- range 14-95 years). Good clinical outcome and virological cure were obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%). Prolonged viral carriage was observed in 47 patients (4.4%) and was associated to a higher viral load at diagnosis (pA poor clinical outcome (PClinO) was observed for 46 patients (4.3%) and 8 died (0.75%) (74-95 years old). All deaths resulted from respiratory failure and not from cardiac toxicity. Five patients are still hospitalized (98.7% of patients cured so far). PClinO was associated with older age (OR 1.11), severity at admission (OR 10.05) and low HCQ serum concentration. PClinO was independently associated with the use of selective beta-blocking agents and angiotensin II receptor blockers (p less than .05). A total of 2.3% of patients reported mild adverse events (gastrointestinal or skin symptoms, headache, insomnia and transient blurred vision).

    On the contrary, a separate study, which has not been peer-reviewed, found the two primary outcomes for COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine were death and the need for mechanical ventilation.

    "The study analyzed only 368 patients but represented the largest look at the outcomes of COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine -- with or without azithromycin, a common antibiotic -- anywhere in the world," The Hill reported more than two weeks ago.

    Because it is wise to study it from a medical perspective to cover all the possible grounds in studies.

    With the understanding that no proper medical study so far has demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine based therapy had any benefit in treating COVID-19.

    Do you have dementia? You asked that before. No need for prescriptions here.

    I'm under 50. I have a sore knee. I'm trying it once a week now for this since I have it (from before Trump's speech).

    Also I am under medical advice on it. I have two doctors who said why not give it a go for the knee since I have it handy.

    You are taking Hydroxychoroquine for a sore knee? Do you have any idea of what this can do to your precious heart? Are you fucking crazy?

    And you mean like sore, like from hitting it against the walker?

    Obama would have won no matter who Mccain picked imo.When black voters turn out democrats win.

    An extreme progressive preaching repartitions would be a problem but nobody Biden is considering is doing that.


    I think the V.P pick was consequential in 2016.black voter turnout was way down in 2016 compared to 2008 and 2012.I think if Hillary had picked a black VP she would have won,her numbers were about even with Obama with white voters.

    I think the V.P pick is consequential in Nov.Im basing my Biden predictions on him picking a black VP.If he doesn't pick a black VP after black voters gave him the nomination they might be pissed off enough to stay home.

    His base wasn't even enough to win Governors races for him in LA and KY 6 months ago,2 of the most conservative states in the country.His base wasn't enough to prevent him from losing The House by 10 million votes,the most ever, or 23 of 33 Senate races in 2018.His base isn't enough to get him an aggregate approval rating above 50% his entire presidency.

    I do, which is why I'm only taking it once a week haha.

    Now you send little hahas to the first victims of his latest idiocy, it will take a little while.

    You remind me of a guy, his father was a London taxi driver, raped his mother in his cab. Police never caught him. The guy I knew was also a souless little psycho, psychopathy is sometimes an injury, sometimes inherited. ;)
