OT: Coronavirus

Each Virus is different this is not MERS or it would have been able to be treated like MERS.  Not to state the obvious or anything.

An Infectious disease expert "corrects" some statements about a Pandemic from a real estate developer and the attempt now is to throw the expert under the bus.

The obvious is he touted it for a similar virus before testing was complete.  

He should have admitted that this drug has been successful for past coronavirus diseases.  

He can be cautious ... and also push for this drug to be used.  

Weird.  We should deny terminally ill patients drugs that worked on similar viruses and have huge success rates with this one.

Also of note - pneumonia and flu deaths are way down.  Apparently people that die with those diseases are being included in coronavirus deaths.

Similar is not the same, take it you don't have a background in medicine or biology.

Hahaha 

The fucking drug works!  Italy, China and Spain use it.

We now use it. 

Now most doctors use it.  Unless their governors disallow it.

Science goes out the window with the terminally ill.  

Tell me when the successes are enough from you to accept the use. 

I bet you would request it if you are in the hospital with it!

I believe the Surgeon General said something (very recently) to the effect of he'd be comfortable using some of these medications for the terminally ill.

Thats far from an endorsement of anything for the masses. Not without scientific based evidence the positive effect outweighs any potential negative. 

Are our best medical minds watching France, China and Italy - and still reaching that conclusion as of today? That seems to be the case. 

Wasn't it back in Gerald Ford's era that they put therapeutics out there and it was a disaster? Was it H1n1? Swine Flu? I dont recall. But too many people were dying, they pulled it and then of course you had the subsequent lawsuits.

France already showed 100% success rates for the drugs when Trump praised it. 

The drug has been approved already by FDA and assessed as low risk. 

China, France, Italy, Spain, and the US use this drug successfully.

Various coronavirus treatments are being tested in New York, governor says
State of New York
A coronavirus vaccine and other treatments to fight the virus are being tested, according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
He said doctors in New York are working with the Food and Drug Administration. Some of the treatments that are being tested are the use of plasma, antibody treatment and the use of hydroxychloroquine.
Cuomo also said they are testing a rapid testing programs which could play a part in protecting vulnerable populations and getting people back to work.

You're leaving out an important element - a biggie.  

Where's the proof the FDA assessed it as low risk for Covid-19 for use for mass population? Maybe that's coming, and that would be wonderful. But I haven't seen it yet. 

Political ideologies aside, we're all hoping and waiting for the same thing.
