Cuomo: 'Umm...whattaya know....it works'

[WillPower]

For any of you who survived the big red/orange pill and daily little white pills in the RVN, Chloroquine ain't a big deal.....at first it goes through your guts like a hurricane and by the the next morning you're tolerant. I knew before Trump knew when I heard the first guy who claimed this was IT...the answer. Trump has a nose for success, so do I....I trust his instincts like I trust my own. This it IT and as soon as the egg-heads are tossed into the trashbin of history, we'll distribute this drug (with Z-Pack if your heart is strong) destroy this fucker and get our lives back on track. MAGA!!!!!

 

[B. Kidd]

What was funny is how hard Coumo had to bite his tongue and admit this... The fool still has not allowed its use globally in his state yet..

I bet his brother takes it if faced with Wuhanvirus caused pneumonia!!!

What people who are against this drug discount is that doctors treat other illnesses with off label drugs all the time. The FDA is not the end all be all. They put my mom on hydroxychloroquine the the same night she went into the hospital. They did so even before her test came back positive. They looked at her chest X-ray and evaluated her systems and knew she had COVID19. They didn’t even ask her or the family, they just put her on it. Doctors believe in this drug. That counts for something.

How long ago was this and what is her condition today?

She was hospitalized Tuesday night. Her lab results have gotten better past couple of days. She’s on the minimum amount of oxygen and sounds like she’s doing well when I talk to her. Only symptom she has is exhaustion and diarrhea. Me and my family are on pins and needles. The doctor says her prognosis looks good, but there are no guarantees.

Sounding good.

No, that's the nature of government. You can wait until you die, for all they care.

it's the nature of science-----it takes time to prove that a
"medicine" works. I have no idea why hydroquinone would
do anything for a viral infection-----so far it is not demonstrated
and there are rare complications of that therapy

Ibuprofen has "rare complications" that kill people. Medicine still doesn't understand how things like aspirine work.

You simply want as many people as possible to die.

its a matter of how much. Aspirin has an effect on the cytochrome
system which deals with the metabolism of lots of the body's
CHEMICALS------its therapeutic effect relates to its ANTI-INFLAMMATORY function-----it knocks out some prostaglandin
synthesis. Prostaglandins are NEEDED in inflammatory reactions---
specifically one of the prostaglandins associated with pain. btw--
you're nuts

 

[B. Kidd]

As Trump said, you can't wait two years when someone is on their deathbed. Would any of us want our family members to just pass away without any attempt, eve if it was a Hail Mary?

Bureaucrats everywhere don't care, they have tunnel vision and it's not helping anyone. Trump isn't an ideologue, he knows trying to save a life is worth it as a last ditch effort, from medication that is widely approved and doesnt harm otherwise; rather than just shrugging your shoulders, "sorry ma'am, you're going to have pass one, we haven't had this approved yet". How morbid.

Sign the disclaimer and try and live for the love of God.

This IS common sense!
Unfortunately the vast majority are caught in a matrix of hesitation brought on by stupidity.

We don’t know what it is that happens next

Question for you....if you were told that your child or your husband's prognosis isdim without any meds.
And, he stated that he could try the hydroquinone and Z pack as a last resort, would you say, yes, or no?

After being one of the many Trump-haters bashing the President for suggesting the antimalarial drug be used by doctors to help treat / save patients infected with COVID0-19 before formal drug trials have been completed, NY Gov Andrew Cuomo stated in today's Press Conference that the treatment is working.....'anecdotally'.

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo(D) said Monday that early responses to the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine “anecdotally” suggest its use in the coronavirus fight has been “effective,” but that official data was still forthcoming.

Asked about the progress of the trials at his daily press briefing, Cuomo noted that state officials have allowed use of the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax in hospitals “at their discretion.” He said the federal government would increase supplies to New York pharmacies, but that New York has imposed a 14-day limit to protect the supplies for people who rely on it to treat other medical conditions."


"President Trump has repeatedly promoted the drug as a treatment for the virus despite lack of approval by the Food and Drug Administration for that use in the long-term or comprehensive clinical trial data, although the agency has granted emergency approval for use with a prescription."

If you or a loved one are extremely ill, potentially dying, from COVID-19 and there is a drug out there already approved to fight malaria that doctors / scientists believe have a good chance of being used to treat this virus and save lives, do you really want to wait for the CDC / government to conduct comprehensive clinical trials to confirm it works....or do you want to allow doctors to make the call in order to save lives?

It's working.

The President didn't just pull this drug out of his ass - he listened to experts / scientists / researchers / doctors. They/ He are / were right. Let the doctors make the call. You're welcome NY / US.

Wow, I think I'm going to need some drugs to understand where you're coming from with that one.

"There is no clear evidence that the drugs (chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine) work against the coronavirus, despite their use by hospitals and doctors in the United States and other countries since the outbreak began. Their antiviral properties have been proved in test tubes, but rigorous clinical trials to test their effectiveness in humans have not been completed.

Limited studies on coronavirus patients have been published by researchers in France and China, but their extremely small size and other problems prevented them from being statistically significant. The French study included a combination of hydroxychloroquine with the antibiotic azithromycin that showed benefit in six patients, results that Trump has touted. Another study in 11 patients in France showed no evidence the regimen works. A Chinese study also showed no benefit over the standard course of treatment."

There are plenty of meds doctors use that work and doctors have no idea why they would work.

This is a new virus. We know very little about it at this stage, and frankly is amazing that we know as much as we know this soon.

The world will always be a risky place full of 's like you who make it unnecessarily more risky.

 

[georgephillip]

The President's support for the use of the drug came about as a result of talking to doctors, scientists, and medical professionals, not CEOs, Wall Street Brokers, and financial managers......but keep reaching.....

Right.
Trump is NOT a greedy moron.

Only an absolute certifiable idiot would be opposed to the use of this drug.

IE libs, dems. They are waiting for FDA and CDC to say it's OK.

Her and others want an airtight guarantee. If they die waiting for one, that's okay, that's their choice.
But if others die who are willing to take the risk of this intervention but cannot, well, THAT IS NOT OKAY!

From what I am gathering from other threads that Conservatives seem to be open to the treatment.
Also.....it seems that the liberals would sacrifice their loved ones because the drug hasn't gone through
the trials.
I think it comes down to that Trump has openly accepted the drugs as treatment until the new drugs
go through the trials for the next year. And the liberals will not accept anything that Trump has given
his approval to. weird

The only thing I object to is people self-prescribing WITHOUT a doctor's advice. I think that is what has some folks up in arms. But I don't know how they'd get it without a doctor anyway. So that's a question. If my doctor gives it to me, sure I'll take it. I trust him.

How is your mom, Rocko? Hope she's better.

She’s doing better, thank you very much. it’s still a nerve racking time for me, my family, and friends of my family. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But we’ve been getting good lab results lately that are giving us hope.

You're probably not allowed to visit? That is one part of this that truly sucks. Especially if it's dicey. Has she got a laptop or a phone? Can you and your family Zoom her?
