Wash your hands. Don't go out in Public if you don't feel well.

Turn off CNN.

My sister wants me to avoid all news media !

Another article same subject... Hydroxychloroquine
.05c a tablet with side effects known and acceptable.

From the artice "More than 20 clinical studies were launched across several Chinese hospitals. Doctors found superior positive responses in over 100 patients who received chloroquine, including reduction in pneumonia. South Korea is also conducting studies on chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and zinc." Results of another test supported " 500 milligrams twice daily for 10 days for patients diagnosed as mild, moderate and severe cases "

Are we going to wait for a 100% solution, when an 80% solution is currently available? As a government project it would take a week to produce a million pills and 3 weeks to package them with correct warning labels and a pink or blue bow !

The problem is that the supply for this medication won't meet the demand; however, it is a start at least

The problem is that Big Pharma can't make any money off of it because it's 5 cents a tablet. They want to "invent" a vaccine that they can patent and overcharge you for.

True, but worse than that, the coronavirus vaccine could contain substances to cause another pandemic. I do not trust the CDC or Big Pharma especially since it has been said that a vaccine would take a year to be ready.

And a meteor could hit the earth next week and kill anyone. Come on, this kind of ignorant argument based on "coulds" doesn't help anything. Is there any legit intelligence to support any concern along these lines? Like from the actual scientific community, and not a conspiracy theory from an uneducated layman?

The WHO has failed already, they have been exposed as being in China's pocket. When you have the World health organization more concerned about stigmatization than science, and the only voices yelling how serious it is early enough were the alternative media. Well that is sad.
Even conspiracy theorists and layman can be correct, and science can get it wrong. You are trying to shut down opinions by setting the bar at a certain height, letting the scientific community as you put it do the thinking. They are controlled by money and corporate interests, don't think for a second that altruistic ideals run the show.
Just as there is a Military Industrial Complex there is now a Corporate Scientific Pharmaceutical complex and they don't give a f@ck about any of us.

Absolutely wrong. You're acting as if I'm setting an unreasonably high bar. I'm not. His stupid post above that I replied to, if allowed to go unchallenged, would represent the type of bar that I'd expect to see in the movie Idiocracy. There was literally no substance, theory or thought given behind it. A vaccine doesn't exist, and he's talking about how it could be more harmful than beneficial. Now, had he argued that when a vaccine does become available that there should be some enhanced scrutiny or testing or something like that, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Instead, he's acting just like the fear-mongering media.

How much do you value your life?

The question should be how much does the pharma industry value life? Seems it's not survival of the fittest but survival of the richest.

Not a problem in China. Expensive (in the US) prescription medicines are available OTC for very cheap at the corner pharmacy. And they still make a profit. China and India make a large portion of the medicine sold in America, where Big Pharma just packages it and marks up the price 1000%.

They steal the research that "big pharma" does.....it ain't free you know!

Big Pharma spends more on marketing than R&D.

Ok maybe, But Why would other industries allow pharmaceutical companies to destroy their investments? Makes no sense..

albeit I worked in a different arena of manufacturing I learned this from our practices and our suppliers. A little incentive can make things happen fast and full bore.

Probably could get some Quinine water at the grocery store.

I knew the cure would be Gin & Tonics ;-)

Doesn't contain much quinine anymore. Can get Quinine powder at the pharmacy.

No! It is being supplied and donated like crazy. There is plenty.

It seems to me that the people who get it first would be the ones who test positive. That's what the paper said.

docs.google.com/document/d/...

That isn't exactly the way triage works. If you test positive and are actively sick then you would be first in line for treatment. If you test positive but have few or no symptoms then you would be down the list somewhere.

Makes sense. My thought is that it could be different with this medication because it's been around forever, and people actually take it to avoid getting Malaria like Laura Ingraham said yesterday. I understand the 2nd generation of it is safer than the original FWIW.

The biggest problem here is that using this is what is called an "off label" use for the medication - using it for something other than what the FDA has approved. That isn't always easy to do.

Also, I'm not sure what our supplies might be. My dad took this for decades for his leg cramps but in the last 20 years or so the drug industry has really sold American doctors on the idea that new is better. (Mostly newer is only better because the newer drugs are still patented and the drug companies rake in billions on them and have a monopoly.)

We have a very complicated legal system when it comes to approving new drugs and testing methodologies. That's the reason we've been slow getting a test for this into local hands. It needs some updating - and NOT updating written by the drug companies. We've been told for decades that we pay so much more than the rest of the world for drugs because we pay a premium to maintain the integrity of our in-house manufacturing. Whoever allowed our drug production to be moved to China should be prosecuted., I would suggest a stronger action but then I might have to ban myself.

I used to get leg cramps every night to the point that I dreaded going to sleep. Then I discovered Hyland's Leg Cramps and I haven't had them since. I recently noticed that one of the ingredients is Quinine.

True. A lot of people only have mild symptoms, and others have no symptoms.

so...the medication I take for my lupus is the preventative and cure...I guess this means a shortage for me soon. :(

I take it too for my RA.

'Cause it's all about you....

'Cause you are an idiot. If you knew half the issues one has to go through to get the stuff, you would shut the heck up and understand. You are a complete moron. It took me over a month just to get enough ordered in last month for this month because there already was an issue, before this was announced. Not only that, but if you miss a day, it makes you ill.

While you want to be a cheese weenie about this, think, there are people who have to take this daily for their very daily survival with an immune ailment that is PERMANENT, not just for a cold that MIGHT them very ill and something that has been blown COMPLETELY out of proportion, when the rest of us who ARE compromised, live with fact of life daily.

We have to live with purell in our coat pockets, because neanderthals like you pick your nose, wipe your butt and lick toilet seats, then push shopping carts, and use debit machines without the though of others and their immune systems. Hygeine is is absent from your lives. It isn't about me you cretin, its about all of us who have to worry about this on a daily basis, because even a small cold can kill us, not just when there is an overblown pandemic.

Wow. Strong letter to follow. Wishing you the best.

Stanford university school of medicine says 100 mg, twice a day for 7-10 days.
My dr. Says he is waiting for the FDA to recommend it.
It's available now, in the pharmacies.
It's approved by the FDA since 1945.
Just not for covid-19.
From Stanford university school of medicine!
My doctor said they are giving it to patients in hospital in intravenously

https://docs.google.com/doc...

have a gin and tonic - on a regular basis.

We should know quickly if this works and production should be ramped up.

This Study changes everything. Everyone who is at risk should be given Chloroquine treatment / prevention /antidotes. If There are No Side Effects, then What Are We Waitng For?

Trump, make the supply chainnmandatory now available to all who want it, and win a 2020 landslide. Stop The Spending before You Tank the Economy Twice.

My guess? The Chloroquine doctors prescribe in the US is probably manufactured in China and they have 1.5 billion people who want to keep it there. It’s not a new drug, but from what Ive been able to read so far, it’s mostly use as an anti-malarial, which we would have no reason to stockpile in the US. Also keep in mind that most of the studies before the new one in the US are coming out of China. We’re talking out of both sides of your mouth if we don’t believe a word they’ve told us about the virus so far, but if they say this drug helps, we should give it to 330 million Americans without checking their work. Their work is exactly why we’re in this mess, so let’s keep that top of mind.

Sounds like we need a major supply chain overall.

Trump will make that happen as a result of what we are learning from this crisis.

Trump has been saying that for years nobody is listening.

330 million Americans dont need to take it. Even 100,000 doses would stop the Emergency and show the public that a cure exists and a prevention exists. It would stop our politicians from spending like Chinese drunken chicken sailors.

If my memory is correct, we took this type of Anti Malaria tablet in 'Nam. There was a "Weekly Pill" and a "Daily".

Hopefully this working for the Susceptible Ones would be absolutely incredible to combat the Wuhan virus.

Yes El Tigre, and for all the all they sayers, those are Democrat Trolls that love the destruction of America.

Ass

If I remember correctly some of the guys in my platoon were so sick most of the guys were yellow anyway. Malaria tabs what a joke.

I'm 70. I want some. Is it a prescription?

Not mandatory because that is Not who we are as a country-Yet.

Right - however, the Governors and the Prez, are now edicting a mandatory business shut down. Totalitarian yet?

Heading that way and if they push it too far people will rebel.
