I know nothing about it really and everything I see is surface level since I’m not a doctor. I do know my brother takes it for his lupus and he’s a bit worried he won’t be able fill his prescription right now. 

The largest obstacle we have to infectious disease efficacy is our own immune system. It is so complex and effective that it's hard to know how effective a lot of new anit-infectious drugs really are. Hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin may help in some situations, or it could be our badass immune system doing what we never thought it could. Take Ebola for example. Super advanced virus that is super deadly, but as long as u can keep the pt stable enough for a full immune response, the body will destroy it.

There would be a number of questions such as her age, other health conditions, medications she is on, etc. besides the possible placebo effect.

Hydroxychloroquine does have known drug interactions and side effects.

Good if it does prove to work but I would not want to rush to give it to the entire country without better facts.

Of course there are also trials using Viagra or nitric oxide to battle coronavirus.

We don't know which will be the best or even if maybe one of the potential treatments.

You do not denigrate a superior to his subordinates.

 

Not only is that an expectation in the military, it's how people should always behave. From in the workplace to parenting. It's not a difficult concept.

One of the Final Five..........

I'm really tired of white collar workers who are able to work from home, talking about their shared sacrifice.  While blue collar workers are either being layed off, or if they are lucky enough to work in an "essential industry" most of them are doing their gig and showing up to work every day.

My kids swim coach is out of work because the gym is closed, so she got a job as a runner at the hospital.

One of my buddies is a window manufacturers rep, he got his hours reduced, so he is working 3 days a week at Lowes now, to make up for the lost income.

Those there are my people.

I told my wife a few days ago we are going to give our hair stylist what we would pay for the haircuts we would normally be getting next week. Our stylist can't make an income right now.

I picked up take out food a couple of weeks ago and put extra money in the tip jar.

My grandparents were immigrants. My father taught me to always take care of those who do any work for me. I've always tried to do that.

but do they have to push cells around a spreadsheet with 2 pre-k girls asking for water or milk or water no milk every 2 minutes and their wife cocking an eyebrow every time they're on mwcboard while clocked in?

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

What do you think I expect?   

I don’t know. That he’s not a man of good works. I may have inferred the wrong thing from what you said, but there is no poster I respect more than him.

You would be wrong.  I suspect he well is a man of good works and would be a role model to say that is what I’ve done to help.   I rather here that than these are my people.  Perhaps it might inspire me to do more.

Trump is now attacking the DHHS Inspector General. Interesting that he feels a need to mention H1N1 had 17,000 deaths after saying just last week about how he is doing on coronavirus "If we can hold that down, as we’re saying, to 100,000 … we all, together, have done a very good job,

Attack, attack, distort, lie, attack some more, and take no responsibility.

The Trump way.
