paddypower Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 POTUS is out and about, shaking hands, no mask. Would'nt it be a miracle if we could all get out of lock-down and see a stop to economic deaths? Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine, despite scientists' concerns The anti-malarial drug has not been shown to be effective in treating Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/18/trump-says-hes-taking-unproven-anti-malarial-drug-265546 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that clearly state that the amount of deaths and infected are lower than the yearly flu? Or the ones that clearly state it´s a common virus that can be compared to a flu based om the registered victims and deaths? My advice to you is just Google it. All the preventive measures from start was good, but know this is getting ridiculous. As the world can see, some countries have been affected more than others. That is no reason to continue to lockdown the world. Now it has slowed down in many countries and time to start up everything. Anything else is pure madness. Preventive measures is all good, but they shall never be taken to far out of misguided fear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure some people on here struggle with the concept of exponential growth. I am not saying we dont need to somehow get things moving again, but it is fairly clearly far far more serious than flu. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post watgate Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yes I would. There are many Drs using it along with azithromycin and zinc together and are having great success in treating the Corona virus. I sure as heck would not be using the 1000 usd for 1 pill that Gilead pharmaceutical company has. Also I am very skeptical of a vaccine and the fact that Bill Gates is pushing for mandatory vaccination has me concerned. I don't trust the powers to be and God only knows what would be in any forthcoming vaccine for the Corona virus. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post paddypower Posted May 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 i posted, as wife and I are in mid 70's, so we're interested in replies. we would never take this drug, as I don't trust the FDA pronouncements on it (they're totally confusing anyway). we're relying on -sunshine - common sense. not a lot of the latter going around the world at the moment, as people react to losing what they took for granted. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, that settles it...I declare the pandemic over and you should probably publish your study in the major medical journals..they have a lot to learn apparently.

I just finished reading an article about people still having health issues after a mild infection of this flu. Months later they are still ill, it seems that this flu causes permanent damage to organs, even with people who were mildly infected and could stay at home to get better.

Some countries have been affected more than others. Yes, US have a greater amount. Another time it´s other countries that suffer more than others. Do not try to make it more important just because Americans are dying. You have to look at the statistics for all of the world to get the picture.

I wouldn't have put it that bluntly, but of course you are right. And an 'in your face' response to irrational scare-mongering might after the initial outrage provoke some soul-searching with those living in fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
