Dr. Steven Smith: Hydroxychloroquine Works; "This is the beginning of the end of coronavirus"
This is not a study with a control group. It's a doctor giving the regimen to his patients and observing the results.
But the results are very encouraging. How any flu kills you (well, usually) is by causing respiratory arrest. The alevoli which are supposed to let oxygen into your lungs and carbon dioxide out fill up with liquid due to inflammation. This liquid then keeps the lungs from exchanging oxygen -- so you go through the motions of breathing, but you can barely get any oxygen into your blood. The last step doctors take to save a patient dying of respiratory arrest is to intubate him -- sticking a tube down his throat into his lungs to puff in air. Because most patients will fight against a tube down their throats, they have to be medically paralyzed -- or put into a medically-induced coma. Obviously, this not a good state to be in. People who are intubated often die. I heard -- don't quote this -- that once you're intubated, the odds that you'll ever come off it are basically fifty-fifty. It's a coin flip as to whether you'll die. This Dr. Smith did not have a control group, but he suggests that his patients can be divided into two different groups: those who arrived late to treatment and who therefore only got two days or less of hydroxychloroquine, and those who got in earlier and got the five days of hydroxychloroquine treatment he seems to recommend. Not really an actual control group but there is a difference in treatment. He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation. He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated. And intubation is really the sign that you have a good chance of dying. If that level of severe respiratory distress can be avoided by a cheap out-of-patent pill, then coronavirus just turns into a nasty but not very lethal flu. And no one shuts a country down due to Sneezing and Running Nose season. It's only the risk of severe respiratory arrest that makes this scary.* So he claims -- again, this is observational only; he did not divide his patients into control group and testing group and leave half his patients off the drug -- that based on his son's statistical analysis, it's close to impossible that it could just be random chance that only people who did only had two or fewer days of treatment would get intubated, and that no one getting five or more days of treatment would be intubated. Not proven -- yet. But as more and more "merely observational" reports come in, the case in favor of hydroxychloroquine gets stronger. And on the vaccine front: the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine says that might have the vaccine ready.University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists today announced a potential vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic. When tested in mice, the vaccine, delivered through a fingertip-sized patch, produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities thought to be sufficient for neutralizing the virus.An Israeli firm announced that it was ten days away from a vaccine. One or more of these groups will nail it.
* Okay I've also heard that coronavirus is also killing via heart attack, but the heart and lungs are interrelated. I have to think that a lack of oxygen will lead to heart attacks, as the heart needs oxygen to work, too.

The Flu kills you by drowning you. Then, as you are drowning, the heart tries to pump harder and you may also have a heart attack.
I find it interesting that the people who say to just nuke the entire economy from orbit just to be sure are, in many cases, the same people freaking out that the not fish cleaner treatment may have some negative long term side effects.
Which is it? If even one life is saved or no?

I think this is where the doctors think the HCQ works since it seems to inhibit the binding of the malarial worms to the red blood cells, which may explain in part how it is working here.

He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
++++++++++++
This is consistent with what the Hassidic doctor from NY indicated he was doing with his group. He encouraged *early* engagement with HCQ, Z-pak and Zinc for two groups:
- Elderly or with comorbidities, regardless of symptom severity.
- Anyone with breathing difficulty, regardless of age or comorbidities.
I think the words he used during an interview were "hit it early and hard."
He was using the full cocktail, not just (hydroxy)chloroquine, but it was a similar layout. Get in early, assume the worst with high-risk groups, and hit it.

As the number of worldwide confirmed coronavirus cases climbs towards 1 million, the number of recoveries is thankfully more than four times the death toll. But medical experts told FRANCE 24 that COVID-19 can cause severe long-term damage to the lungs, heart, brain and other organs -- and that for some patients, these complications may be permanent.

Having "controls" in the absence of another alternative treatment (for example remdesivir) seems unethical. The refusal to accept Raoult's or Zelenko's work due to lack of "controls", seems a sketchy reason to deny off label use.

"Obviously, this not a good state to be in. People who are intubated often die. I heard -- don't quote this -- that once you're intubated, the odds that you'll ever come off it are basically fifty-fifty. It's a coin flip as to whether you'll die."
Cause, effect.
People who are intubated often die because they have some horrific injury or condition that causes them to be intubated in the first place. It's like saying seat belts are linked to car wreck deaths because most of the people who die in car wrecks are wearing seatbelts.
An ET tube is a way of securing a patent airway. Yeah, it's no fun, but as far as I know it's on the safe side as far as medical procedures that involve shoving things into your body are concerned.

Out of more than 950,000 cases of coronavirus so far across the globe, over 202,000 people have recovered, while more than 48,000 have died. However, clinicians have pointed out that some COVID-19 survivors have developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -- a severe condition that, for the worst-affected patients, can last for the rest of their lives.
The doyen of medical journals, The Lancet, was one of the first to sound the alarm, publishing a report in February showing that 29 percent of a group of patients in Wuhan whom the researchers tracked between mid-December and early January had got ARDS.
A similar report by the British Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, published in The Sunday Times on March 15, found that some 17 percent of intensive care patients whose treatments they analysed developed the syndrome. In addition, a few days before the British doctors released their findings, medical researchers in Hong Kong found that, out of a small study of 12 patients who left hospital after recovering from the coronavirus, two or three had diminished lung function.

Re long term damage from Chinese virus...
A DVT led some months later to a Pulmonary embolism and I have permanent lung damage.
By itself it's not debilitating as long as I don't go high altitude hiking or extreme exertion. But more damage would not be welcomed. So staying put is a good move for me.

I'm noting how they're stressing the "anecdotal evidence" factor.
I guess so they can cast some shade on it as not being a guarantee.
All it will take is a one month "trial" whereby they give this stuff to lots of people at the stage just before the hard to breathe stage and how many recover and how many don't have to get intubated.
Just keep them off the ventilator will be an extreme help due to the lack of sufficient numbers.
Now if we can get ahead of the medical people's need for masks we could start back to normal only with everyone wearing masks and the sick or diagnosed with Corona staying home.
This will be the two week period of pain Trump is talking about.
I would guess that's how long it will take to be able to have enough masks and to be able to tell everyone to take the malaria drugs.

The bigger risk of being intubated is infection and pneumonia. Worse, if the clinician/nurse/dr. "nicks" the esophagus upon entry or removal. This happened to my wife, she got infected with MERSA, spent 3 months on heavy duty intravenous/anti biotics, in a rehab facility. Nasty stuff.
5 years later she's ok. Still talking too much and spending too much money.

So having a control group means you may be choosing to let those people die.Somehow, that does not seem ethical from a medical standpoint, heck it's not ethical outside of a communist/socialist country.There was also a Dr in NYC having a bigger sample size (about 700 or so) having similar positive results.
Seems to me that at some point, the FDA/CDC should be able to take overwhelming data like this and make a reasoned decision without a control group.
Sorry, "reasoned decision" and FDA/CDC don't really go together, do they.
#64: Gee, you may be exactly right. Who knew that a President may need to Manage? I'd like to see the next SOTU consisting of "You're Fired" to basically the entire Congress.

I have a question that has never been answered. Is it specifically HCQ that seems to provide a cure or is it any anti-malarial meds.
I happen to have a course of anti-malarial meds but it contains atovaquone, instead of HCQ. According to my understanding atovaquone works in a way very similar to HCQ.

"Anecdotal" - I call bullshit.
Every NY and major city hospital - at the very least - has advanced Electronic medical record systems. Everything done in care goes through those systems.
Prior to Coronavirus, these systems were driving doctors and nurses to burnout BECAUSE OF ALL THE DATA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS. The data was sold by the EMR companies for $$millions to pharma, government etc.
The data amount at this point must be massive. It can be de-identified (to protect privacy) and released to the public in spreadsheets, for analysis by scientists around the world.

This Dr. Smith did not have a control group, but he suggests that his patients can be divided into two different groups: those who arrived late to treatment and who therefore only got two days or less of hydroxychloroquine, and those who got in earlier and got the five days of hydroxychloroquine treatment he seems to recommend.
Not really an actual control group but there is a difference in treatment.
He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated.
This is really confusing to the point on not making sense.
How can both these statements be true? :
-- "...only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation."
-- "He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated."

-- "He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated."

I noticed that, too, and I think it is down to the context higher up. I assume this means that when they got in early with HCQ for 3-5+ days (a full course, based on the French study and other areas that have tried it), there were zero intubations. When they got there later, some still needed it.

You do not do placebo control groups on deadly ailments that have no effective treatment just so you can count dead bodies. You use available case data as your control.
Any statistically significant treatment group is valid data to draw conclusions from.

Of course you don't, but the libs keep acting as if that's required. Plus once a med is approved by the FDA a doc can give it to anyone that can benefit, NOT only the group with the official indication. It may not be FDA approved but it is far from illegal. The donks know this but are stoking fear.

I can watch Trump's speeches myself, in real time. Why do I need some expert on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to brief me on what I can see with my own two eyes?
I just use presidential speeches as an example but the same goes for pretty much every other thing the press chooses to cover.
What function do they serve anymore except to shape a narrative?

He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
If you got the drug for >5 days, it prevented crashing and needing intubation.
If you got it for less time, no so much.

I have a question that has never been answered. Is it specifically HCQ that seems to provide a cure or is it any anti-malarial meds.
I happen to have a course of anti-malarial meds but it contains atovaquone, instead of HCQ. According to my understanding atovaquone works in a way very similar to HCQ.
Posted by: Northernlurker at April 02, 2020 12:12 PM (Uu+Jp)
look up the drug online
I looked up my malaria drug and it specifically said coronavirus, but not sure even if it says that. I also have the exact antibiotic and Zinc tablets. But I wouldn't use it unless I'm trapped somewhere, no help and nowhere to turn... and feel like I'm dying.

This demand continues - it is all the rage on the Left, despite Trump's daily briefings demonstrating how well his *partnership* with private industries is going. Never let a crisis go to waste, huh? Finally, FINALLY we can get down to nationalizing industries!!
Considering that Schumer and Pelosi are most focused on impeaching Trump over this crisis' handling, I have to also wonder if this is a trap. If Trump nationalized the medical supply chain then they can exploit this for prosecution.

But I'm giving him a taste of his own medicine this morning. Just banged on his door to tell him I was making cookies this afternoon, and to get his opinion on what type to make.
In about an hour, I'll bang on his door again to see if he wants to go with me to my storage unit.
An hour after that, I'll bang on his door to tell him I changed my mind about making cookies, because we don't have the ingredients.

Well, a dose-response relationship is a pretty good evidence of an effect, but
a) you have to prospectively randomize people to the two different dose regimens
b) it may be that i)low dose is not actively harmful and ii) high dose does nothing, so the untreated control is still important.
If you aren't randomising then you are not getting good data on drug effect.

He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
If you got the drug for >5 days, it prevented crashing and needing intubation.
If you got it for less time, no so much.

Sounds like what I had heard before. Chloriquine treatment slows down virus replication. If the virus has already filled you up, Chloriquine isn't as effective.
You give it to them early. If they are really sick, you are too late. That is why waiting five days for test results will not work.

Every NY and major city hospital - at the very least - has advanced Electronic medical record systems. Everything done in care goes through those systems.
Prior to Coronavirus, these systems were driving doctors and nurses to burnout BECAUSE OF ALL THE DATA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS. The data was sold by the EMR companies for $$millions to pharma, government etc.
The data amount at this point must be massive. It can be de-identified (to protect privacy) and released to the public in spreadsheets, for analysis by scientists around the world.
WHERE IS THIS DATA??
Posted by: EPIClies at April 02, 2020 12:13 PM (TnwAJ)
I'm not allowed to be specific, but..
One of the biggest software companies in the world that also is very big in clinical trial software has pushed out a free platform for clinicians and patients to track symptoms, dosages and outcomes. It also gives allows data mining by researchers.
And before you scream privacy, it is HIPAA compliant

IIRC, The Lancet also believes in Global Warming.
The Lancet also published that study that said the US killed eleventy-billion people in Iraq. Their methodology was super-scientific too. They asked a whole bunch of people in population centers how many friends/family members were killed in the Iraq war. They'd record the results even without any further proof, but they were awfully proud of the fact they sometimes got death certificates.

Whole lotta wrongness above.
Anyway, up date from those doing it:
Our trial thus far on HCQ + a macrolide antibiotic (we are out of Azitho, using others) has been moderately encouraging. Understand many patients were on vents before they got the meds, which is gonna skew stuff.
Two trials, one group for on vent before, one for not on vent. Three arms: no Tx, Tx w/ HCQ, Tx w/HCQ + antibiotic.
Sorting the drug induced cardiac and hepatic failure versus disease, can't yet. 1 case retinopathy and vision loss very likely drug related.
UNOFFICIAL consensus thus far with our team: If sick enough to be hospitalized, start meds ASAP. If stay home sick, no unless worsens to hospitalization.
The pool of zero or mild cases never diagnosed is likely to be HUGE and thus the case fatality rate will drop like a rock.
Checking antibody levels next year to estimate these minor cases will be fascinating. See also West Nile Virus immunity rates.

I asked my daughter the nurse about this stuff. As it happens she has taken HCQ for years as a treatment for a chronic condition. Fortunate given her exposure to elderly sick people. She and her paramedic fella have 6 N95 masks they sterilize and rotate using with a handheld UV device. Wow.The national medical stockpile cupboard was bare throughout 7 years of Obama and 3 years of Trump. It is unhelpful to scapegoat either without finding out who the hell wasn't minding the store. If the only person responsible is the CEO of a 2 million workforce then can we lay off the rest of them?
When I thought of the CDC and FDA, I used to think of careful minders of America's health. Now, what comes to mind is words like sclerotic, elephantine, unresponsive.

So upon seeing that Robert Kraft used his own money to buy masks and medical supplies for NY medical personnel, it got me thinking...
With all the multi-multi-millionaire athletes we have in every sport (save for the NHL), you have to sit back and ask yourself why there are not hundreds of stories like this.
Didn't Mike Trout just sign some $300mil contract? Didn't Anthony Rendon? Didn't NY Yankees new pitcher Gerrit Cole sign for hundreds of millions?
Where are all the athletes standing up donating their ridiculous fortunes that they will never spend in their lifetimes?
Only time I have seen any athlete do anything was with JJ Watt's organization after the Hurricane relief a while back.
Other than that... nothing... from any multi-millionaire athlete... in any sport.

Instead the media would be pointing to all those cases in New York as proof positive that we need universal single payer health care because the private sector isn't prepared to solve problems the way government is.

Lol. DNC just pushed their convention out from July to August. I'm guessing they want Biden to croak before being nominated or they're giving space for Cuomo so it doesn't look like he's jumping ship while the state is suffering from the coronavirus issue he created.

Malaysia has tips for women staying at home with their husbands during quarantine:
DON'T Nag Your Husband
DON'T Be Sarcastic
DO Wear Makeup
DO Dress Up

Could've added that man is master of the remote but maybe that's implied.

Sounds like what I had heard before. Chloriquine treatment slows down virus replication. If the virus has already filled you up, Chloriquine isn't as effective.
You give it to them early. If they are really sick, you are too late. That is why waiting five days for test results will not work.

I asked my daughter the nurse about this stuff. As it happens she has taken HCQ for years as a treatment for a chronic condition. Fortunate given her exposure to elderly sick people. She and her paramedic fella have 6 N95 masks they sterilize and rotate using with a handheld UV device. Wow.The national medical stockpile cupboard was bare throughout 7 years of Obama and 3 years of Trump. It is unhelpful to scapegoat either without finding out who the hell wasn't minding the store. If the only person responsible is the CEO of a 2 million workforce then can we lay off the rest of them?

Analysis - 'true' sort of.
My wife is treated for RA and Lupus (and other auto-immune) disorders. She had her (online) visit with her team this morning. They have had her on Plaquenil for quite some time. These are her Cleveland Clinic guys.
In a nutshell - they all told her to just live her life as she normally would but don't take unnecessary risks. The Plaquenil would help, they thought, but all of us and the general pop is going to be exposed (or not). And get the virus - or not.
If she shows severe symptoms I should bring her in. But the 'no contract with anyone else' regimen is burdensome and probably will not help her.
Just my $.02 and anecdotal at that.

So I guess as long as you're not broadcasting your adultery on pay-per-view, or inviting the neighbors in to watch, you're officially not an adulterer!

Trump inherited a zillion screwups from said Mocha Messiah. Expecting him to identify, prioritize, and fix every one is, IMO, asking a lot.

Trump inherited a zillion screwups from said Mocha Messiah. Expecting him to identify, prioritize, and fix every one is, IMO, asking a lot.

Lung damage.Yes it's bad and will change your life. But there are drugs that can help with that. (I'm on Advair). People really should learn to protect their lungs from damage and I hope dust masks become fashionable. Let's get people on chloroquine early and see if we can prevent the lung damage too.

The IMHE model for the Wuhan coronavirus that the White House is relying on is garbage. It is using NY/NJ data and applying it to the rest of the U.S.
It predicted that over 121,000 Americans would be hospitalized yesterday over the coronavirus. The actual number? 31,142.
Great thread!

Posted by: Archer at April 02, 2020 12:26 PM (gmo/4)
Yes, a small amount, mainly to give the characteristic bitter flavor. You'd have to drink a lot of gin and tonics to get a small dose.

Here is an evil thought,
Chloriquine and Hydroxy Chloriquine are generic drugs and dirt cheap.
A few years ago, someone did a study that used chochiline(sp?) as an anti-gout med, as it was used off label as an anti-gout drug. It worked, the study was approved by the FDA, so they PATENTED the generic drug, and jacked the price way up.
Will this FDA study allow a drug company to do the same thing? I doubt it, because the FDA is doing it.

Science: Doctors recording information regarding their patient's reaction to a certain drug, analyzing that data and reaching a conclusion and/or forming a hypothesis.
Or look at it this way - how many valuable studies have involved going back decades and performing analysis of patient records? Plenty. That's valuable, scientific data. Newspaper or personal accounts about such things are not.

The "Grim" milestones he reached before finally got off his lazy ass and picked up his pen was 1,000 people dead, and more than 6 months had passed since the first case was diagnosed.
And These Fucking Imbeciles want to argue that Trump has blood on his hands.

I bet most people don't know that in Cuomo's New York they add a 9.6% tax to your hospital bill (paid by the patient) and it's the third largest source of revenue for the state. Plus New York charges employers who cover insurance cost and extra fee. This all brings in about $5 billion a year to New York.
Think they'll be dropping any of that? You know, because of their great beneficent leader?
Yes, please draft Cuomo, DNC.

I asked my daughter the nurse about this stuff. As it happens she has
taken HCQ for years as a treatment for a chronic condition. Fortunate
given her exposure to elderly sick people. She and her paramedic fella
have 6 N95 masks they sterilize and rotate using with a handheld UV
device. Wow.The national medical stockpile cupboard was bare throughout 7
years of Obama and 3 years of Trump. It is unhelpful to scapegoat
either without finding out who the hell wasn't minding the store. If the
only person responsible is the CEO of a 2 million workforce then can we
lay off the rest of them?
When I thought of the CDC and FDA, I used to think of careful
minders of America's health. Now, what comes to mind is words like
sclerotic, elephantine, unresponsive.

Mark Steyn made a very good point in column a couple days ago. This whole hoopla about respirators respirators. The survival rate of respirator patients is what? Mark says 9/10 don't make it. But no data source, but from what I've learned, that may be right. So really. "So fretting about ventilators, while decent and humane, is ultimately marginal."

I just recently took my brother to the hospital. He was treated like he had chinee lung ick, but he and I both knew it was due to a long term illness he has.
Fluid in his pleural lining was collapsing his lungs, and his heart was going crazy trying to get oxygen into the system. It is a finely tuned feedback system, and its no wonder it pushed people with weak hearts over the edge. I was concerned my brother would die from heart failure.
And I am currently outside Stanford hospital now as they drain it for a fifth time. Very quiet.
California needs to just start using masks and open up, and protect vulnerable populations like my brother by keeping those like him isolated.

There is some evidence that Covid-19 can cause myocardial inflammation via what's known as a cytokine storm, whereas an over sensitive immune system response to a virus leads white blood cells to attack and weaken healthy cells eventually producing symptoms that mimic a heart attack, without the regular coronavirus symptoms present in the lungs. I don't have a link but I read it on the internet.

Reading the comments on the NY Times on a story yesterday about hydroxychloroquine is fascinating. Basically breakdown of amateur epidemiologist talking about only clinical trials that are double blind are valid, comments about how orange-man-bad is preventing treatment, and a fair numbers of doc with anecdotal accounts of it working. Well there is an old saying that when you get enough anecdotes, it is call data.
What I a fascinated by is that there is a view that only double blind clinical trials that take years are valid. I would say how about we adhere to the Scientific method, and use that as a basis; ask a question, gather info, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, Is it working yes/no, analyse and draw conclusion. I would then add are the results repeatable. I think it is acceptable to say that when time is critical to substitute repeatable results from independent sources for a double blind study. The whole point is that individual researchers don't bias their own work. If you get repeatable independent results I would say that is better.

"Sorry your life is fucked. Here's $1200 and an unemployment application. And you can fill your belly with the warm feeling of your sacrifice was for the greater good"

If your experimental group is people who need a cure now, and your control group is people who have time, then you're not really varying *one* factor.
Experimentation is done: ceteris paribus. "All (other) things being equal"
So in order to test people who are critical against other people who are critical, you have to say we're not going to treat half the people who are critical, i.e. they are likely going to die.
So Science can kill old people, but a healthy economy is besmirched by one?!

Here's another New York tidbit. Last year, as Democrats were celebrating their new abortion laws, giving free college to illegal immigrants and generously rewarding all their political friends, the New York Comptroller warned they were positioned for a $7 billion revenue shortfall.

Instead of purchasing ventilators and oncreasing hospital beds, Cuomo gave at more free health care to illegal immigrants. That is people who are not even citizens. As a result, New York has the highest per capita free health care expense in the United States as measured by Medicaid.

The polio vaccine, i.e., the Salk vaccine, was developed at the University of Pittsburgh.
Scientists still refer to the polio vaccine as "the Pitt vaccine," because 60 years after the fact, scientists are still bitter that Dr. Jonas Salk took sole credit for the work of a group of researchers, of whom Salk was only one.
Salk got a medal from Ike, his picture on a postage stamp, & his own research institute in La Jolla, CA... but he was pretty much detested by his peers.

Not only that, but they spent money on a study and the drafting of a plan to *ration* ventilators.
Posted by: Axeman at April 02, 2020 12:47 PM (Eicbe)
+++++++++++++
IIRC, there were two proposals:
- Spend half a billion dollars to stockpile ventilators to use as a reserve if a pandemic flu happened
- Draft up a plan to ration available resources if a pandemic flue happened.
They went with the latter. There are decent arguments to be made for either option. What pisses me off is, having made an eyes-open, considered decision at that time, they then went and demanded that the national ventilator supply be sent to New York. There's also the point about them wasting more than that much money on Mrs. DeBlasio's nonsense, but that's an entirely different thing.

Gates really caused some of this stuff. In 2015 he gave a Ted talk about the next thing to kill "10 million" would probably be an epidemic.
So now the same way that Bible cranks see Revelation in everything (I am a pre-millennial Christian, btw), the progs see Gate's epidemic in whatever epidemic first comes along.
These people are so stupid. They really believe that this is their HOUR on the stage, that this is their CASSANDRA moment. They are the ones they have been waiting for. They are the ones to save (the otherwise virus of) Humanity!
The *world* has fewer cases of Covid-19 than America had on its own when Barack Obama declared a medical emergency for H1N1.
Covid-19 would have to kill 12 times more people to *catch up* to the seasonal flu *this year* (which kills old people too). And who knows the seasonal flu might actually be comorbid with Covid, so it's not just Covid-19 deaths but Flu + Covid as well.
The wish fulfillment of the progs is imparting some cost--and it may be a GREAT cost as well.

Do they have good recipes for prophylactics? Cream sauces, red sauce?
But your realize that's why there's a shortage, because they're eating them all.

Prophylactic sauce is particularly good on pasta puttanesca.

Normally, I would agree with you. And I would be as matter-of-fact about it. But the artificial standard popularized by the media is can TRUMP guarantee a ventilator or mask to everyone who needs one.
NY already made that decision: No. Cuomo will not be held to the same artificial standard.
As progs simply can never remember their last artificial fecal-flecked standard.

IIRC, there were two proposals:
- Spend half a billion dollars to stockpile ventilators to use as a reserve if a pandemic flu happened
- Draft up a plan to ration available resources if a pandemic flue happened.
They went with the latter. There are decent arguments to be made for either option. What pisses me off is, having made an eyes-open, considered decision at that time, they then went and demanded that the national ventilator supply be sent to New York. There's also the point about them wasting more than that much money on Mrs. DeBlasio's nonsense, but that's an entirely different thing.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 02, 2020 12:53 PM (Q8c/L)
Tall flash. Most the money used to produce ventilators is wasted. Only a very very small fraction of them are actually going to be used.

Time to add an imported oil tariff. Exempt Mexico and Canada because of the USMCA.
Make it a sliding tariff. Pick a target price, say $40/bbl, and a fraction like 80%. At $39.00/ bbl you add a $0.80 tariff. At $20/bbl, add a $16 tariff, etc.
Trump is also filling the US Strategic Oil Reserve, which will improve demand too.
Posted by: rd at April 02, 2020 12:56 PM (+0uDE)
I suggested that several weeks ago. But include Canada and Mexico only if they also apply the same tariff to overseas oil.

I'm tired of NYC uber alles BS also but I have a hard time faulting some states chief executive for having a My State First mentality.
I'm okay with that, but not his "...and I'll tell everyone else what to do while attacking the president for doing what I said he should and hiding supplies I demanded from him" attitude

More evidence is emerging that coronavirus infections are being spread by people who have no clear symptoms, complicating efforts to gain control of the pandemic.
A study conducted by researchers in Singapore and published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wednesday is the latest to estimate that around 10% of new coronavirus infections may be sparked by people who were infected with the virus but not experiencing symptoms.
CDC
Summary of Changes:
Changed risk strata descriptions -- levels of risk have been reduced to simplify communications and implementation
Changed period of exposure risk from "onset of symptoms" to "48 hours before symptom onset"
Added the definition of a contact to include exposure to a laboratory confirmed case as well as a clinically compatible case in regions with widespread ongoing transmission
Removed "no risk" category and replaced with unknown risk to acknowledge that all persons in the United States are at some risk of COVID-19 given the increases in community spread throughout the United States.

Sorry, just got home, so missed the below thread on my beloved Marines. Just like to add, if not mentioned, that we have a storied history of fighting and killing Chinese hordes, from the tong wars, to Korea. They fear us, with good reason, deeply and culturally. With stories passed down from previous generations. Hence, having the USMC lead any anti-China effort is good strategy from a "break the enemy's morale" perspective.

Newsom's blather is obviously just standard empty idiot talk from an idiot, for idiots. Not a thing will change - it will stay just as bad in CA. Because enough voters aren't affected, don't care, or don't understand enough to change anything.
And some here might want to brace themselves for the stunning development that once the all-clear is given, things will instantly return to normal. Amazing.

The only thing I know about Tiger King is that he believes in being an individual with a capital I.
He *expresses* himself. He doesn't think society should tell him whether or not he should love big cats to the extent he does (I'm not sure about the extent).
That's a total liberal way to view life.
Suddenly, because somebody dragged it from their ass, it's a Trump Voter icon. Because he's also ludicrous, and their first (Alinskyan) instinct is ridicule.
Much liberal behavior over the years have been positively selected for the politically competitive advantage of ridicule.

As a heart doc I can tell you the "killing through a heart attack" story is a mixed bag.
Because we want to err on the side of detecting heart damage from newly blocked coronaries as early as possible, we have developed profoundly sensitive tests to detect small amounts of heart muscle enzymes in the blood.
Unfortunately though, with many severe illnesses the cardiac enzymes, the blood tests we do to detect myocardial infarction, turn positive. This is the bane of cardiology as we get called to see ever other elderly patient with sepsis from any source. Often when the dust settles we do angiography and find no high risk newish blockage to have caused this particular "enzyme leak."
Sometimes there is a new blockage, from plaque rupture due to the stress of the illness.
But most of the time, these enzyme elevations are not related to new anatomic blockage in your arteries. When your organs are dying, the heart is dying along with them. If we had supersensitive enzymes to detect very early minuscule cell death in other organs, they would also probably be positive when you are in septic shock or have very low oxygen levels from lung damage.
Because so many of the COVID 19 patients have positive cardiac tests, including enzyme leaks and abnormal EKGs, we are having to do a lot of triage. We don't want these patients in the cath lab because:
1. If their abnormal tests are due to illness other than a new blocked large heart artery, the trip to the cath lab benefits them not one whit. They get chest radiation and kidney exposure to contrast without any hope of benefit.
2. If I allow cath lab staff to be inadvertently exposed to a virus shedder, they will all be out on mandatory quarantine for 2 weeks. It doesn't take too many mistakes before you have destroyed an entire department's ability to respond to real MIs. And we are seeing quite a few big "real" MIs so we don't want people to have no emergency stent option.
Ok that was long and boring. Can you tell they've cancelled my clinic and I'm feeling useless today?

I was intubated 25 years ago, for pneumonia. Out for 3 weeks in Respiratory ICU. They tell me I went in with one kind and contracted another kind while I was there.
They had me on Propofol, the same stuff that killed Michael Jackson.
The family was worried sick but I was having nice trippy dreams.
Walked out of there myself, too, thank the Lord. Call me grateful. So, folks, take heart: People do get better.

Ace, sentence 1 and sentence 3 here seem to contradict each other:
"He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated."

426 There is some evidence that Covid-19 can cause myocardial inflammation via what's known as a cytokine storm, whereas an over sensitive immune system response to a virus leads white blood cells to attack and weaken healthy cells eventually producing symptoms that mimic a heart attack, without the regular coronavirus symptoms present in the lungs. I don't have a link but I read it on the internet.

Yes, this is a similar mechanism to that which made 1918-1919 Spanish Flu so dangerous.

428 Reading the comments on the NY Times on a story yesterday about hydroxychloroquine is fascinating. Basically breakdown of amateur epidemiologist talking about only clinical trials that are double blind are valid, comments about how orange-man-bad is preventing treatment, and a fair numbers of doc with anecdotal accounts of it working. Well there is an old saying that when you get enough anecdotes, it is call data.
What I a fascinated by is that there is a view that only double blind clinical trials that take years are valid. I would say how about we adhere to the Scientific method, and use that as a basis; ask a question, gather info, make a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, Is it working yes/no, analyse and draw conclusion. I would then add are the results repeatable. I think it is acceptable to say that when time is critical to substitute repeatable results from independent sources for a double blind study. The whole point is that individual researchers don't bias their own work. If you get repeatable independent results I would say that is better.

Exactly, you never ignore clinical evidence. Waiting for sterile double blind drug trials is the response of an empty headed managerialist for whom there is always a teacher, cop, or bureaucrat to run to for direction.

A doc in the Hasidic community(high number of cases because they refuse to social distance in any way) in Orange Country NY has had really good success. As of Monday he has treated 699 Wuhan virus patients and had only sent 4 to the hospital. I would say that is a rather good success rate. This will be down played for as long as possible as it ends the lefts chance to continue with their "not letting a crisis go to waste" campaign of tyrannical behavior and trying to stick more pork into "relief bills". It also means that Big Pharma loses a chance at a new expensive drug for treatment. They will still push for a vaccine but they were unable to come up with one for SARS and there are already 8 known strains of this virus. As you can tell I have a certain level of distrust, LOL. I do have to take certain meds and am not against conventional medicine but my experience as been one screw up after another by MDs. It's a case of if I knew now what I knew then I likely wouldn't be on any. Can't change the past.

Out of more than 950,000 cases of coronavirus so far across the globe, over 202,000 people have recovered, while more than 48,000 have died. However, clinicians have pointed out that some COVID-19 survivors have developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -- a severe condition that, for the worst-affected patients, can last for the rest of their lives.
The doyen of medical journals, The Lancet, was one of the first to sound the alarm, publishing a report in February showing that 29 percent of a group of patients in Wuhan whom the researchers tracked between mid-December and early January had got ARDS.
A similar report by the British Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, published in The Sunday Times on March 15, found that some 17 percent of intensive care patients whose treatments they analysed developed the syndrome. In addition, a few days before the British doctors released their findings, medical researchers in Hong Kong found that, out of a small study of 12 patients who left hospital after recovering from the coronavirus, two or three had diminished lung function.

It's not true you have to be in a coma or paralyzed to use a ventilator.
The fifty-fifty if you are on a ventilator is not because of the ventilator, but because your lungs have deteriorated to the level where you need a ventilator.

25% of people have already had it and didn't even know it. Mortality rate will be <0.5%
Herd immunity now!
Your odds of survival are based on how much ACE2 is expressed in the lung.
Watch out diabetics, marathon runners, and people on ACE inhibitors.
My 2 cents.

I asked my daughter the nurse about this stuff. As it happens she has taken HCQ for years as a treatment for a chronic condition. Fortunate given her exposure to elderly sick people. She and her paramedic fella have 6 N95 masks they sterilize and rotate using with a handheld UV device. Wow.The national medical stockpile cupboard was bare throughout 7 years of Obama and 3 years of Trump. It is unhelpful to scapegoat either without finding out who the hell wasn't minding the store. If the only person responsible is the CEO of a 2 million workforce then can we lay off the rest of them?

Thousands of years of human history has shown that a bureaucracy is only effective if it is small and/or afraid of losing their position. Once comfortable, they look after themselves over doing their jobs.
I can't think of any exceptions to the rule.

There are numerous drug plants in the US and worldwide that could quickly start making and packaging HCQ tablets. That's the easy part. The critical supply chain issue is availability of the active ingredient, which is made in separate chemical synthesis plants. It's not easy to start up production of an API in a new plant. Hopefully the established manufacturers of HCQ are not all in China (as is the case for many older drugs) and can scale up their production quickly.

Everyone repeat this until you never forget it. Every bureaucracy will eventually reject its initial purpose, and instead focus on gaining political power.
Folks say this here from to time - yet we always seem surprised when another "trusted institution" turns out to be a rotten pile of shit. Learn it and live it - there are no organizations that give a shit about any of us. They give a shit about preserving their own power. And that's it.

In Soviet Russia, they had a second secret police (the GRU) to keep an eye on the first (KGB/NKVD) and vice versa. One could always be used to purge the other if needed.

You can sure tell this is a senior citizens' site, because of the number of poor old guys who talk about AOC's sad'n'saggies as "perky."
They're supposed to point to where you're going, not mark where you've been.
Ain't hardly no perk to 'em.

Hi ace.
Hope you are doing well.
There’ seems to be a typo in this section:
He says that of the patients he treated, only patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine for two days or less needed intubation. Anyone who was on hydroxychloroquine for five days or more did not need intubation.
He said zero patients getting hydroxycloroquine had to be intubated
Wold you please clarify the stats?
