As the Wuhan coronavirus is ravaging countries across the globe, there may be some promising news on the horizon. According to Gregory Rigano, an advisor to Stanford University School of Medicine, a world renowned French researcher tested a promising COVID-19 treatment option with a drug that’s been around for decades and is typically used to treat malaria.
“As of this morning…a well-controlled peer reviewed study carried out by the most eminent infectious disease specialist in the world—Didier Raoult, MD, PhD—out of the south of France, in which he enrolled 40 patients…that showed a 100 percent cure rate against coronavirus,” Rigano told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.
Carlson, looking shocked, said he “only knows what you’re telling me” but that it is “very unusual for a study of anything to produce results of 100 percent.” More
Amodiaquine! woohoo!
Another study with 100% results was the one showing how Sanders supporters are idiots.
Take two of these and call me in the morning.
If you have Lupus or other autoimmune diseases, you may already be on this. Our pharmacist called this morning to tell us that doctors are writing prescriptions for this NOW. Since my husband is a retired infectious disease doctor and in the very vulnerable category, I am on my way to pick up some for him now.
I read that tonic water has quinine in it. I think I’ll go on a diet of vodka tonics.
^ Better: GIN and tonic. As an old geezer, I like to go sour all the way.
Can we please stop calling this coronavirus “ravaging” and etc.?
It is a variant of a common cold virus. And it’s likely “everywhere” already, with most people not getting it, and of those who do, the overwhelming most showing no or only mild symptoms.
And yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 1918 Spanish Flu and etc. MOST people who died from the Spanish Flu died from secondary bacterial pneumonia — in the days before we had penicillin.
The danger today and the disease isn’t this coronavirus. It’s mental derangement and the victim is our economy and way of life.
janitor, our family M.D. is an old school doctor. One of those that you don’t have to be on your death bed before he will give you an antibiotic.
If you’re in the at risk category for the flue, very young or old and are showing any respiratory issues he gives you an antibiotic, because he says nobody dies from the flu, they die from the secondary infections.
I asked him once if he ever receives criticism from his peers and he said, “I honestly don’t give a shit, in my 30 years of practice, 80% of my patients are elderly and in 30 years with too many to count who have had the flu, I have never had a single patient die from complications of the flu. Also in that time, only 5 have ever had to be hospitalized and they were because they quit drinking and became dehydrated. So when I tell them that and ask them how many of their patients have died due to complications from the flu it shuts them up and they go back to their group who agrees with them.”
BTW that is how we found him. Our old doctor retired thanks to Obamacare and I had a sinus infection, knew I had a sinus infection, only needed a doctor to prescribe me an antibiotic. I went to 3 doctors who confirmed I had a sinus infection but said it would go away without antibiotics. Went to him and got an antibiotic.
Just to be clear about what I posted earlier, this medication is only good if you are symptomatic.
Also, most common colds are rhinoviruses. Although this has been overblown, this is a novel coronavirus. Don’t hit me, I live with an Infectious Disease doctor who sub specialized in virology. Every time I ask a question of him, I get a lecture and drawings!
Corky, all my little brothers and sisters are doctors. One is a literal genius, scientist, researcher, and infected through and through with TDS. (Lives on Long Island.) A month or more ago out of casual curiosity, I asked her what she thinks/knows about the Wuhan situation, coronavirus. Instead of facts, I got an earful of hysterical anti-Trumpism we’reallgonnadieandI’mbuyingriceandchickpeas… Early February.
Okay, I will buy that initially, something new, developing (again!) around China’s bioweapons research lab is alarming. We have enough facts out now that this hoax had better be quelched and soon because the permanent far more widespread damage and “secondary infections” in the iatrogenic sense both economically and physically, will be far, far worse than this f’ing virus.
I don’t care what anyone says, I’m still going with vodka tonics as a preventative medicine.
