there's no control group it's just this doctor prescribing it to anyone with covid symptoms + shortness of breath as early as possible (the major indicator that leads to severe outcomes)

Ikr.

He could do it too, his supporters would claim his humble and modest now

Chloroquine has been known for its dangerous side effects for a while now tho, weird that he didnt get any

Here's a smaller scale one one with a control group. Control groups are iffy in this situation because if it does work it kind sucks to withhold it from people lol.

Main methods: From February 4 to February 28, 2020, 62 patients suffering from COVID-19 were diagnosed and admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. All participants were randomized in a parallel-group trial, 31 patients were assigned to receive an additional 5-day HCQ (400 mg/d) treatment, Time to clinical recovery (TTCR), clinical characteristics, and radiological results were assessed at baseline and 5 days after treatment to evaluate the effect of HCQ.

Key findings: For the 62 COVID-19 patients, 46.8% (29 of 62) were male and 53.2% (33 of 62) were female, the mean age was 44.7 (15.3) years. No difference in the age and s***distribution between the control group and the HCQ group. But for TTCR, the body temperature recovery time and the cough remission time were significantly shortened in the HCQ treatment group. Besides, a larger proportion of patients with improved pneumonia in the HCQ treatment group (80.6%, 25 of 32) compared with the control group (54.8%, 17 of 32). Notably, all 4 patients progressed to severe illness that occurred in the control group. However, there were 2 patients with mild adverse reactions in the HCQ treatment group.

Significance: Among patients with COVID-19, the use of HCQ could significantly shorten TTCR and promote the absorption of pneumonia.

SCARFS ARE VERY GOOD

scarf

what if i spray my face with disinfectant and then use that as a mask

Sry I’m driving back to philly rn and can’t really follow along / contribute :(

yeah i agree. take that with a grain of salt obviously but there's no other real, actionable cheap options right now

What’s worst tho withholding it from people or giving them a harmful d***? You can’t make a serious scientific study without a control group and a rigorous method

In the 80s the scientific community thought they found a cure for aids then all the patients who tried the miraculous d*** started dying prematurely from side effects

We’ll see when the real studies are over but most of these (especially raoult’s) are sketchy af

Definitely would not suggest getting back on tinder until like 3 months after this has blown over lol

y'all been saying this for the past 2 weeks

whats next

that was a direct trump quote

FEMA DEATH CAMPS

it's fiction bc they're not social distancing in that line!

Tremendous numbers. It's going to be Yuge!

ITS FINALLY HAPPENIN THEY BEEN TALKIN BOUT THIS FO YEARS

Moscow Mitch today said the impeachment took away from catching the Coronavirus earlier thehill.com/homenews/senate/490335-mcconnell-impeachment-distracted-government-from-coronavirus-threat?amp

These dudes are worse than criminals man because they do this s*** in blind day light these dudes are straight up supervillains

I wouldn't disagree with you usually but this is a well studied d*** thats been used regularly for a while now and the side effects are much better studied than a random newly created COVID specific d***. The study I linked is a newer Chinese one too not by Raoult unless I missed something.

Either way large scale clinical trials are being run worldwide rn so we'll know exactly what the shortcomings are for certain in a week or two hopefully

Omfg this looks like some right-wing conspiracy post

Fema and RFID chip

Man what is this 2006

whats bernie sanders doin rn
