Democrats are going to be in for a very rude awakening in the short term when hydroxychloroquine or a named branded derivative/concoction with azythromycin(e.g. Percocet) ends up being the go to drug. It is almost there now, they just don't know it because they keep watching the MSM and the lefties. Trump said it and they hate it. It is that simple. God forbid it got American back to work before the Democrats could get the amount of economic damage(and disinformation) they need to even have a chance in the upcoming election.
More and more research is showing not only its efficacy as a form of treatment, but the mechanism by which it is working. The good thing is that even the Democrats can't control this world-wide research. The entire world isn't as interested in getting at Trump at all costs, including dragging their feet with regards to this drug.
No Democrat anywhere is opposing doctors using these drugs if they are effective and recommended as a course of treatment. Widespread approval for distribution will take years of clinical trials, research, and data. But the Trump supporters see the distribution of this drug as their shot from beyond the arc to save Trump's re-election chances. Forgetting at the same time that voters this fall will be judging him on his response to the virus. Which was abysmal.
You shall see. This drug will make a huge difference in outcomes as it slows the replication in the body and allows the immune system to wipe it out. I don't care if you or other ignorant Democrats get it or not. As long as the ignorant group doesn't win in 2020, it won't matter much.
And that's where your real concern lies isn't it? Not in seeing people get better. Just getting everything back to "normal" so Trump has something to run on in November. Blew the response to the virus, thousands of people dead, millions out of work, economy in the tank. He can't tout a great economy while it's largely in ruins or hold his little pep rallies while everything is shut down. But airlift this wonder drug to everybody and send them back to work. MAGA. Yikes, I'm a little sick to my stomach right now.
Yes, we want this drug to work. Democrats want to be overly cautious so it won't be used and are pushing a false narrative about dire side effects and making them out to be pervasive, which they are not. I will let you figure out who really cares about people's well being.
The bottom line is that everyone should want people to get better and our economy to not tank. The Democrats are are concerned about the economy, but to the opposite of what most would think. They don't want people to die, but they want the fix to be as painful as possible to Trump and the economy...the well being of the country be damned. Republicans likewise don't want people to die but they also want the economy to come back as quickly as possible, not only for the purposes of the election, but for the well being of our country. As usual, Democrats are on the wrong side of patriotism.
What we really need to do is use the tools we have, such as testing the people who recovered from this to make sure they will be immune to it in the future. Those people can return to work. They are also saying that drawing blood from those people and infusing it in others is a way to immune them as well.
Some people who never caught the virus are immune anyway. They can find those people by testing. They will be able to return to work.
Unfortunately, we don't have near the testing capacity. Something that will need to be done in large quantities if you are going to send anyone back to work any time soon.
That would depend on how many facilities would participate. Here, our hospitals had drive-thru's and you simply waited in line like a McDonald's and the line progressed. They were able to get samples from tens of thousands of people a day. Now test results can appear in mere minutes.
