Though on the upside, it doesn't look like this thing favors smokers more than anyone else. Chinese studies didn't find them to be any more likely to show up at the ICU than anyone else, which is confusing, but, I mean. I'll take it.

They had worse outcomes, though, so there's that.

The other post are all wrong: chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are anti malarial drugs that work by changing the pH level in the endosome of your cells.

Basically: Corona needs to be eaten by your cells and then be digested to be able to infect the cell. Chloroquine works like an antacid preventing this digestion. In theory, we don't have real clinical data yet.

Bacterial superinfections seem to be rare.

Trump's "prescription" is "HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together."

The paper is here: https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hydroxychloroquine_final_DOI_IJAA.pdf

Worth noting: 26 total patients received hydroxychloroquine. Six received azithromycin as well. The group that got azithromycin turned out better - but it's all of six people. The authors claim that azithromycin has showed some effect in vitro against Ebola and Zika, but there's a lot of distance between "vitro" and "vivo," and the numbers here put this closer to a handful of anecdotes than solid data.

Well we could instead try convincing people to act responsibly with reasoned discussion rather than forcing them into it by removing their freedom to travel and congregate

My bad, i missed that he also recommended azitromycin

I know the paper, and it doesnt really show any evidence of anything: the people taking the drugs that got worse and had to be transferred to icu were excluded. Its a mostly useless paper. There are verry small case series on azitromycin in coivd that leave to much room for interpretation, but we know it was useless in MERS.

There was a lot of early hype about certain anti HIV medication combination aswell, but the paper from yesterday show that they dont work

They have less than a thousand tests, and are actively refusing to test people with symptoms, or in many cases just pretending to test people so they go away.
