He had been fighting colon cancer for many years which means his immune system was nonexistent, so flu or bronchitis would probably have killed him just as fast.

I hope Dems refuse to take HCQ when they get Covid. It's called thinning the herd.

Dems wear masks and social distance. We’re good. But you wishing death on your opponents is very telling. God bless.

Good for him. I wish him the best.
When the switch to Emycin?

1) He had cancer in 2006 and completed his treatments in 2007. It was not "many years". His immune system may have not been the same, but it had to have bounced back by 2020. If anything, age might have complicated things.

2) 74 years old, overweight, and with his health history, Cain shouldn't have been at that rally at all. He made a bad choice and paid the ultimate price for it.

Thank you for showing how vindictive and despicable you can be in terms of your mentality. Now, you have no room to refer to Democrats or left-leaning people as horrible. You've proven yourself to be just as bad.

Gohmert told staffers IN PERSON in Rayburn that he had Covid.

More from inside Gohmert’s office coming in Playbook PM

Lot of frustration about the Texas Republican. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/stat...095125504?s=20
If this is true, that he deliberately exposed his staff after refusing to let them work remotely and mocking them for mask wearing, he should be censured. Or shot out of a cannon into the sun, or better yet, a star in another galaxy. He doesn’t deserve a staff, or control over any sentient being, even a goldfish. To display such indifference to people under his authority is gross, and to chase that activity with political prattle over medicine of all things, for the purpose of staying in the spotlight is just...I don’t have words. What a leader!

The results of this study demonstrate that in a strictly monitored protocol-driven in-hospital setting, treatment with hydroxychloroquine alone and hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin was associated with a significant reduction in mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Here is one:
Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows

DETROIT – Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new study published by Henry Ford Health System.

In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.

The study was published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed, open-access online publication of the International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID.org).

Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine at Henry Ford met specific protocol criteria as outlined by the hospital system’s Division of Infectious Diseases. The vast majority received the drug soon after admission; 82% within 24 hours and 91% within 48 hours of admission. All patients in the study were 18 or over with a median age of 64 years; 51% were men and 56% African American.

Looks like Gomert took erythromycin, not azithromycin.
