The mind will go to great lengths to confirm bias. Some can't, and don't want, to consider this. Listening to talk radio that confirms everything you think you know feels pretty good to many.

where there you have it.
And how many Trumpers were going to the mats to defend this drug because their boy was promoting it? LOL

Not sure lol is the appropriate response here, tbh. This isn't good news.
Need further data with larger sample sizes and control groups. As of now, utilization of hydroxychloroquine is a marker for illness severity, and absent a randomized control group, selection bias will have a fairly prominent effect on results [it’s like saying intubated patients die more than those not intubated]. I’d appreciate some legitimate studies as I’m sick of this being a political issue.

Well said - we should all hope something can work to mitigate it. Trump needs to stop touting things that haven't been clinically proven and Never-Trumpers should not celebrate egg on his face when the cost is more friends and families losing loved ones.

sure. It would’ve been nice if it had been the miracle drug that doctors Trump and Ingraham had touted. My LOL was aimed at those who thought expertise didn’t matter and they could BS their way to a cheap and easy cure. Hopefully we develop better treatments. But I hope that we’re doing putting our trust in cable tv hosts and the world’s most flagrant liar. The sooner we put our trust in experts the better. Methinks the dreams of a cheap cure or reopening to normal life in a few weeks is going to bite a lot of people in the ***.
If there's anything that's going to be found as an effective treatment, it's going to be something that's "cheap," relatively, because it takes 10 years to bring a drug to market. If anything is going to be implemented for COVID-19, it won't be a novel compound.
Been hearing about several drugs being tested as possible treatments. There are clinical trials underway for arbidol, remdesivir, and favipiravir. Also, plasma with antibodies from those who have recovered is currently being used to treat the disease as are transfusions with oxygen rich blood.
Yes, what I am referring to is the fact that an available treatment is going to come from something that's already around, as the above already are.

Death is skyrocketing across the nation while its decreasing in New York. We just saw 2,800 deaths, worst day so far. But sure, it’s like totally time to open back up! I mean, we gotta MAGA. Amiright?
