"Observational Study of Hydroxychloroquine in Hospitalized Patients with Covid-19"
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2012410In this observational study involving patients with Covid-19 who had been admitted to the hospital, hydroxychloroquine administration was not associated with either a greatly lowered or an increased risk of the composite end point of intubation or death.
but now idiots will scream that it has to be combination therapy of HCQ and some other chemical
like HCQ+zinc
then when that comes up after months of wasted time. the idiots will say HCQ+citric acid.. then HCQ+bleach then many other stupid things. just wasting time and lives.
many patients on these trials actually have hope these trial treatments will help them. so when idiots plead to their president to authorise use of foolish stuff. it actually causes more harm than help.
patients on these stupid trials are not allowed to given other treatments because it would mess up the study.
so when silly idiots demand silly trials 'for science' they dont think/care about the patients.. the silly idiots only sometimes think 'oh well atleast we know' but most idiots just want to push the next waste of time treatment
simply because they seen something on youtube and decided they needed to tell their president about it
one thing that people keep asking is what one main non scientific jargon thing makes covid19 different to previous sars/flus.
well to simplify it
both because its new strain and because the formation of it differs from previous flu viruses. the body doesnt initially recognise it as a threat. so when entering your nose. your nose does not create mucus to excrete it. in your mouth it doesnt recognise it to create saliva. in your throat it doesnt create sputum to excrete it out.
by the time people start feeling bad its already made its way in the lungs due to no defense at the entrances. and is already damaging cells and replicating.
