Why do you care about NY's governor when you live in Baltimore?

I cannot speak for him, but I don’t even live in the country. However, I do care for friends and family in NY so anything that the governor can do save lives I’d love. I indirectly know if three people dead of Coronavirus. A friend of a friend, my stepbrother’s uncle, and a cousin of someone in my social circle.

I wasn't speaking to you or asking you, I was asking him, specificially because he has shown up out of nowhere posting trollish remarks.

I'm aware that it's possible to live outside of NY yet care deeply about NY. I'm also aware it's possible to live outside of NY and come to NYC forum solely to troll, which is apparently what he is doing.

All of these suggested drugs can have severe side effects worse than the virus. They should only be prescribed only when the patient's life is at risk and they are in critical condition. OR if they are in a super high risk category with 3+ co-morbidities

The treatment protocol should be in assessed based on the patient's baseline nutrition levels (NOT just age and physical condition )

IV Vitamin C (currently being done by some Doctors) 1500mg 3x daily

Check for B deficiencies and address if necessary

Depending on how patient presents wait 48-72 hours while administering OTC fever reducers either orally or through IV drip

X-Ray after 72 hours along with bloodwork to observe changes to antibodies, inflammation level and liver/kidney markers

If symptoms maintain and do not increase, continue existing regimen until fever subsides and patient feels better. The primary indicator here cannot always be determined by diagnostic tests. If a patient is subjectively feeling better in combination with either same test results or slight improvement then a judgement call should be made based on the individual patient's genetics and risk category.

UNNECESSARY drugs should NOT be prescribed unless vital organs are under duress , clear signs of this are jaundice, questionable liver/kidney markers, severely elevated white blood cell count and evidence of pneumonia. Double pneumonia even with no symptoms (possible) is a prime candidate for aggressive antivira treatment protocol. The immune system is not working properly in cases like this.

Because many people think that Cuomo is using this "crisis", and the way he handles it, is his "practice run" for the White House, after the Dems have a brokered convention, which will "stiff" Bernie again, and shove "Sleepy Joe" aside....THAT'S why many people care.

Cuomo in the WH? OMG!!!!!

China had success by quarantining Wuhan and not letting people leave.

Same should happen with NYC. They're a threat to LI, Conn, PA and NJ.

Um, you realize that many people who work in NYC live outside of NYC. Lets not forget who was the first confirmed case, and spread it to his family and neighbors was someone that DID NOT live in NYC.
