I found this on the Internet, so it has to be true.

It does read like a scientific paper. The cited sources are reputable and can easily be checked. Unless this is a hoax and a really bad prank, there can be reason for some optimism.

An anti-malarial drug, chloroquine, was tested in China and S. Korea. It reduced virus counts in those affected, and reduced infection rates if used before becoming infected. It was used against SARS, also a coronavirus, with favorable results. Chloroquine is readily available and inexpensive. Don't get your hopes up, this could be an evil hoax, but if it's not, we have reason to be optimistic.

I believe it’s legit; read where there’s been some success with the same drug (s) in Australia. I’ll see if I can locate the article tomorrow. Bed time.

Found a twitter feed from the MD who wrote the article I mentioned in my previous post. This might have legs.

While Nero fiddled, Rome burned...I think this is Clearwater Beach and it was taken yesterday. Florida had 150 cases yesterday.

Hey Hippocrates, what's the mortality rate for 20-29 yr. olds?

Hey Hippocrates, what's the mortality rate for 20-29 yr. olds?

You've called so many people names, that I no longer have any clue who you are referring to.

The mortality rate for 18-34 year olds is super low.

Now what's the chances that one of the 71,000,000 18-34 year olds and one of the 50,000,000 65+ year olds both needing groceries or gas at the same time?

[Kung Wu]

Hmm ... turns out that even though the mortality rate in 20-54 year olds is low, they still comprise half of the patients admitted to intensive care units, and over 35% of hospitalizations:

The report, issued Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that — as in other countries — the oldest patients had the greatest likelihood of dying and of being hospitalized. But of the 508 patients known to have been hospitalized, 38 percent were notably younger — between 20 and 54. And nearly half of the 121 patients who were admitted to intensive care units were adults under 65, the C.D.C. reported.

Here's the Australian article I referenced yesterday...

"Chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, and HIV-suppressing combination lopinavir/ritonavir have both reportedly shown promising results in human tests and made the virus 'disappear' in infected patients."

Okay now that's funny!

Hmm ... turns out that even though the mortality rate in 20-54 year olds is low, they still comprise half of the patients admitted to intensive care units, and over 35% of hospitalizations:

508 * .38 = 194.

How many of those 194 are 45+? 30+? Collage aged?.

Now that doesn't discount what you posed before about passing it on to the 65+ year olds. So they shouldn't be doing this and the doctors on the president's task force agree.

Australian professor on the results of tests he's done with two existing drugs. One is the already discussed chloroquine. The other is an antiHIV drug.


He's achieved 100% reduction of virus in infected patients. Here's what he had to say

Professor Paterson said it wouldn't be wrong to consider the drugs a possible 'treatment or cure' for the deadly respiratory infection.

Testing will go to a larger scale and will be used in 50 hospitals in Australia..

What if the coronavirus scare is 100% fake and really a deep state government initiative to test the compliance of US citizens? Maybe even Trump is being fed lies by dark communist plants deep within the CDC!

That's a book that needs to be written.
