These people will come up with anything to keep us in lockdown:
Block hydrochloroquine and chloroquine;
Shame doctors who propose using hydrochloroquine and chloroquine;
Put impossible or time-consuming hurdles in the way of developing a vaccine;
Oppose any loosening, indeed publish the public for wanting any socialization or fun.
I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but the people pushing this panic have a vice-grip on the media and public officials.
Who shamed doctors for using hydroxychlroquine? It was being used and studied by many doctors mostly at Universities but it didn't have good results. If it was political, that wouldn't stop other countries from using it, but they are not. The studies were halted because many of the test subjects were dying from fatal heart problems attributed to the drug. The last study that was halted due to that was in Brazil. This is not a U.S. thing where you can claim it's political.

I cannot reveal the source but a professional (not a doctor but an allied professional) says that it is in frequent use and gets mixed but mostly good results. Sorry I cannot tell you more but you can be sure, if you or anyone else gave me confidential information in a DM I would not reveal it.

No offense, we don't need you to reveal the source. We have actual doctors and medical health professionals (not your hidden un-doctor) who have said that hydroxychloroquine does nothing--in actual field tests. And it is a drug that has horrific side effects.
Additionally, cute, that you've chosen to move along from the question that you've repeatedly asked but refused to answer repeatedly on these forums: the President has set up a reopening plan, 14 days of falling infections. No where has met that. How is this some crazy conspiracy?
You failed to answer the question again. What's your point?
You are saying immunity is not possible. Thus, a vaccine is not possible. So the discussion on whether or not what Sweden is doing is better is irrelevant because unless this is now our new normal until the end of time it's only a matter of time until we're all Sweden.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
I am not saying immunity is not possible; if that was true there would be no purpose for all those labs to be working on vaccines. Successful vaccines provide immunity, at least for a certain period of time.
Sweden is only in the conversation here because some have claimed procedures there were somehow superior to those of nations promoting distancing and isolation. The numbers available today show that is incorrect both medically and economically.

False. Sweden has fared significantly better, economically, compared to its Western neighbors, including the United States. Sweden’s rate of infection is not much higher than other nations with significant lockdown measures. Even the WHO is suggesting we all should have followed Sweden’s model. Not sure what you have against evidence that we can mitigate the virus without destroying the economy. You must still have a job? Must be nice.

Support your contention that Sweden has fared better economically than its Scandinavian neighbors unless you believe that comparing similar countries is not valid. I have earlier linked to information that it has not.
I have nothing at all against evidence - I thrive on it. Do you have any to support your claim that "we can mitigate the virus without destroying the economy?"

1. My son is a doctor who has been knee deep in all this in NYC for much of the last month. He's taken chloroquine as a preventative himself - so have a good number of other medpros.
1.1. He'd agree with you source. Apparently dosing is very tricky but if given early and with other care he says it works often.
2. Tagged............is just a post holder so I can find the post later and respond in some detail, nothing sinister. No ratting to the mods. etc.

Oh, well your non-doctor, non-researcher source has mixed anecdotal experience. Guess we should listen to your unnamed source and not multiple research studies!
Oy vey.
People around the world are searching frantically for any viable treatment. If it worked, do you really think that scientists in Germany, Korea, Australia, the UK, and the US all would refuse the drug to screw Trump? Really?
