Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) Thread

[BWK]

By the way, do you know a big part of the reason we have a shortage of ventilators? Because China stopped shipping the circuit boards for them.

Also it is because they are expensive and hospitals only kept on hand what they need to for normal operations and a few spares in case something breaks.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03/18/ventilator-shortage-hospital-icu-coronavirus/

And our hospitals run on the premise of keeping beds a full as possible.

So in their shortsightedness they fail to keep an adequate buffer of both services and equipment to deal with unexpected events

Most private hospitals are in the business of making money. They have no interest in becoming military hospital ready. It's not in their best financial interest.

Yeah, for profit lean six sigma baby. Consequences time.

Absolutely! But ha, if Kudlow injects $2 trillion into this cause, as they are suggesting, they'll be embracing that government socialism teat.

Well yeah, see that's the thing with socialism in America. It's reserved for concentrated capital's interests.

I saw that too. Democrats will pull out all the stops to prevent anything that will alleviate the crisis that democrats caused.

Please stop acusing Democrats of wanting people to die.
Thank you.

Democrats want people to die. They think it helps their election chances. Nothing else has worked for them.

Some positive news amidst all the gray clouds

Topline: President Trump said in a Thursday press briefing that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, drugs used to treat malaria and severe arthritis, were approved by the Food and Drug Administration to test as a COVID-19 coronavirus treatment, as the number of cases nationwide continues to increase.

• The drugs will be used in a clinical trial, according to FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn, who spoke during the press briefing.
• Trump also said that other antiviral medications will be fast-tracked for FDA approval.

He is banking on it, I'm sure. SOS.

He is trying to save lives!

Best Prez ever!

Not when he pedals in lies. He kills people doing that; Maddow hits Trump's 'happy talk' on virus: 'I would stop putting those briefings on live TV'

That degenerate has never stopped attacking Trump. And of course she would like to cut his access off to the people. The elites dotn like what he is saying.

It’s worth a try
Like Trump said....it can’t hurt

But we shouldn’t get people’s hopes up that we have a solution

 

[yidnar]

Seems to be a lot misinformation about this. The results of a preliminary study released today showed no positive results. Not sure why the right wing press is pinning their hopes on this.

you hope there is no positive results ...face it scumbag we are going to beat this virus and real Americans are going to win in Nov against the left .

 

[San Souci]

Since they are communists ,they rank with Islamic Republics for EVIL.

They are pretty shitty communists actually. They have far too much free enterprise for communists

Yeah. The politboro does. The PROLES? No rights at all.

You hear about people poisoning themselves with this stuff? Turns out it's toxic and an overdose can kill you. Someone needs to tell Trump that there is a difference between reassuring people and bullshitting them. Seriously.

As Fauci fiddles, demanding prolonged trials in the best bureaucratic tradition, hospitals are already using the drug therapy that President Trump spoke of and permitted. At Lenox Hill Hospital one desperately ill patient was given the therapy and has since been released. Doctors nicknamed him 'Lazarus'.


As we see this drug therapy helping more people, thanks to speedy action by President Trump, they are climbing over one another to attack him. Had it been left to Fauci we would be stuck on trials while people were dying.


Will this therapy help all in need? No, but as Dr. Grace at Lenox Hill said, we need to proceed.

"Because you can take the seriously ill people and treat them off-label with the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin
[and] you can take those people who are not so seriously ill and put them on whatever randomized trial you want, and as many limbs as you want, because there'll be plenty of patients out there that will be sick and not so serious that they're in danger of dying."​

Malaria drugs touted by Trump can work against coronavirus, top doc tells Laura Ingraham



President Trump caused this while Fauci was fiddling in the best tradition of entrenched bureaucracies.

 

[rightwinger]

Let’s hope it works.

I still trust Faucis judgement over Trumps

 

[Ricky LIbtardo]

10,000 doses were sent to New York today. It shouldn't take long to find out if it works as other places are already trying it.

Because he is lying. Trump hasn't a clue, while living in fantasy land and useless happy talk. And always self congratulating himself over a bunch of failures. He's so friggin pitiful.

That's all right-wingers care about. Electing a cheat, a thug, and a thief who steals from charities that go to children with cancer. Have you no shame or self respect? How can you vote for someone who does that to kids?

Teva to send US millions of malaria pills with potential to help COVID-19

Israeli generic drug giant Teva announced Friday that it will provide ten million doses of its anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine, which could potentially prove effective in fighting the coronavirus pandemic, to US hospitals free of charge.

The company said six million doses will be delivered to US hospitals by March 31, and more than ten million in a month.


“We are committed to helping to supply as many tablets as possible as demand for this treatment accelerates at no cost,” Teva executive vice president Brendan O’Grady said.

US President Donald Trump touted the potential use of chloroquine on Thursday after encouraging results in China and France, although many experts warn of caution.

In France, the Sanofi laboratory said it was ready Tuesday to offer millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine to potentially treat 300,000 patients.

According to the study carried out by Prof. Raoult on 24 patients with coronavirus, six days after the start of taking hydroxychloroquine, the virus had disappeared in three-quarters of people treated.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the federal agency that oversees the marketing of drugs in the United States, somewhat tempered President Trump’s enthusiasm by pointing out that the treatment, authorized for certain diseases, had not been approved for coronavirus.

But it will set up “an extended clinical trial,” said Stephen Hahn, its leader.

Coronavirus and Lupus

March 21 2020 - The Lupus Foundation of America partnered with national patient organizations to submit a letter to the Congressional Leadership and the Administration calling for the implementation of needed patient protections that include ensuring people with lupus continue to have access to hyrdroxychloroquine (HCQ). The Foundation was responsible for adding language about the needs of the lupus community to this letter. We continue to work in partnership with other patient and provider organizations to explore additional ways in which the patient community can work with government and other stakeholders to preserve access to needed care and treatments.

March 21, 2020 - Read our questions and answers regarding Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) and Coronavirus.

March 20, 2020 - Read our statement regarding access to hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) for people with lupus.

March 17, 2020 - The CDC has recommended that people with serious underlying health conditions stay home and avoid other people as much as possible through March 30, 2020. Lupus is a serious underlying health condition that could lead to a compromised immune system.

Please see Appendix A (on page 10) in this document from the CDC for a more detailed explanation of underlying health conditions that may increase the risk of serious illness from coronavirus.

It most likely will work. But it isn't what killing the elderly. These people has more than one engineered virus in them. And plus they are in poor health, with living parasites attacking them from the inside, that is creating an infection. And I know that their bodies are filled with inflammation. That it is causing a lot of blockages.
