People have been taking it for decades without side affects or very few mild side affects. Hell, our soldiers take it when they deploy. All of them. It's sold OTC in a lot of countries where malaria is popular.

Mild side effects for healthy soldiers does not mean it can’t cause a heart attack in 60 year old . Last edited by Monticore; 05-04-2020 at 09:39 PM.. |

There are many things you can get OTC in other countries that are not necessarily safe to take without monitoring.

Maybe I’m getting old but people seem to have to no patients and have lost the ability to reason on their own.

Now that you mentioned it I do recall your wife is a doctor . I’ve all so read taking it early makes a bigger difference than starting on it later, but my wife isn’t a doctor so what do I know?

My wife is seeing very few patients these days. She's only working 2 days a week now because they don't have enough volume. She was, however, exposed to a dirty COVID i Friday - the mother of a newborn patient. They were in the exam room together for 20 minutes, but the dirty COVID was wearing a mask and wife was wearing proper PPE (N95, gloves, and plastic smock). She just has to monitor her temp twice a day for two weeks and be on the lookout for symptoms. Her MA gets a nice 2 week unpaid vacation though because she decided to not wear her N95 like a moron.

The heart issues occur in the studies when used at a huge dose (much higher than the COVID dosage) for a very long period (I think it was over a year). I'm lazy right now, but if you really want it, I'll go grab the pubmed link. |

Taking it super early doesn’t mean it helped, those patients might have recovered on their own and it might not have an effect on the mortality rates.

Was the zpack doing the heavy lifting? We can’t just pick just the trials we like the results from to make a decision, could it still be used safely to help we might not know yet. I am just not a skeptic about HCQ I would be the same about any drug proclaimed as a cure this early , I am skeptic in general when it come to people making any proclamation over Twitter , entertainment news shows etc , I assume there are better channels a doctor would use the be taken seRiously Remdesivir is not even being called a cure by their own company because they know it is a process and it takes time.
