Couldn't rep you again, yet.

The Henry Ford WHIP study is looking at prophylaxis.

India has been using low dose or infrequent Plaquenil for HC worker prophylaxis with some success.

The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.

Trump does it to himself without any help from the Democrats. We just shake our heads at his shamefulness.

Simply poll the doctors. I'm on several larger doc/medical forums, and it sounds like very few are still using it. At least many more speak against it. Whereas early on we were using it. I gave it to my wife with some success.

Most don't know that other countries, esp China already had experience, and we docs early on were following their suggestions. This didn't all just start with the Pres spouting off! At least the medical side didn't.

Yeah, I haven't dug too deeply into the details of those studies, personally. Perhaps it's a bit xenophobic, but I'll trust the Henry Ford prophylaxis study more than anything coming out of India.

Fighting Covid-19 should have been about fighting this disease. Instead, it's a political issue. And I get the feeling many people are all about people who share their political opinion, rather than an actual proven medical fact.
You need to read legitimate orthodox medical literature, as the war is being fought by the medical communities apolitically. The politics is out here on these blogs. Although I am seeing a few more politically based discussions on the doctor forums. I guess inevitable with all this hype about Plaquenil.

If he is asymptomatic, there's nothing to "treat".

Cripes it's been 4 months! Do you know of any preliminary data from that study?

Bingo.

Wouldn't stop him from crowing about how HCQ "saved his life" though, I'd wager.
