Another good look at hydroxychloroquine and its potential as a coronavirus ameliorant.

Good info. I’m seen a few docs order Azithromycin IV on a few Covid patients but it’s hard to tell if it’s working because of so many factors. Without going into controls and the scientific process, placebo, etc, I’ll just say that it’s been given without much thought and just thrown into the mix at times. As with any other illness, physicians will take different routes in treating patients. We have not used any Hydroxycut (yeah, that’s what we are sarcastically calling Hydroxychloroquine) however. The main idea I’m trying to express is that the meds suggested are possible avenues to help the body survive the effects of the virus. They’re not a cure. Your body is the only potential producer of the cure....the antibody.Another good look at hydroxychloroquine and its potential as a coronavirus ameliorant.

here’s the kicker: theoretically and quite possibly, the people we see that have zero or negligible symptoms after exposure have quite literally built up an immunity simply because they’ve received the flu shot every season for the past decade or longer. They’ve been inoculated at some point to whatever in this virus’s DNA that makes it tick and gives it the boot.
Thanks for the interest. Just one of the many conversations that I’ve had with those involved on the frontline. This is new to everyone on the planet and totally open for discussion and discovery!Now that is a fascinating hypothesis! I really enjoyed reading your post, many of us are desperate for some honest and unbiased and politics-free truth these days. Thank you!
Would love to hear your thoughts on this desire for everyone to rush back to work/life and pretend to get back to normal while the curve hasn't even been flattened yet. Just speaking for myself, although my cabin fever is reaching a breaking point, I am really concerned that we're going to see another spike, particularly across the South, in about a month and will have to start the process all over again.

I was talking last week with a ID (infectious diseases) doctor that I’ve worked with since the 90’s and I trust more than most. We were hashing out the simple facts that people have ignored about the virus, mostly that it’s a virus believe it or not. It has to play by virus rules. I may be repeating myself here a bit as I know I’ve heard myself saying that for weeks now. Anyway, she started talking about strains and inoculation and corona viruses over the past decade. Simply put, you get inoculated either by surviving infection or by being vaccinated. The vaccine is not a medicine, it’s a beat down and mostly harmless version of the virus that is introduced into your body in a controlled manner to prompt your immune system into cooking up the antibodies for this particular strain so you can fight it off on your own if exposed later on. The whole process is fairly quick. Some people feel crappy and run a mild fever until the body has the found the fix and you’re done. Your body retains these antibodies and stockpiles them in the event you’re ever faced by that enemy again. Ok, here’s the kicker: theoretically and quite possibly, the people we see that have zero or negligible symptoms after exposure have quite literally built up an immunity simply because they’ve received the flu shot every season for the past decade or longer. They’ve been inoculated at some point to whatever in this virus’s DNA that makes it tick and gives it the boot.
Whether this strain of the corona virus was produced by nature or in a lab, it appears to have started in a country where healthcare is a world apart from that in our country. I think it’s safe to say they don’t have the same vaccination programs in Red China.
Some viruses have been all but eradicated here in the US by way of vaccination. At a young age I was inoculated against a handful of viruses either by vaccine or infection.
Smallpox, Polio, Mumps, (sister had it) Measles, (other sister had it) Rubella, Chicken Pox (I had that one) and a few others are viruses that we’ve given the boot after they took their toll on mankind at some point. Not so in other countries and the fact that we run the risk of a foreigner infected with any of those viruses may jet hop over here (or tunnel under the Trump wall) and share the love, so to speak, is reason enough for the CDC to recommend vaccinating children against these diseases to this day.
Anyway, I digress a bit here, what she said was basically that we are gonna have to weather this thing out and the rest was a bunch of heartless stuff that is likely true but delivered in a way that most folks can’t digest, as it comes from a purely scientific point of view. There may or may not be a successful vaccine on the horizon. We always seem to be about a year behind the flu bug tho, so who knows.
Btw, as I said, some of this is theoretical. I’m not touting to have the answers but I think I have a pretty good idea of where we are headed. But if anyone needs to see my credentials, suffice it to say that I’ve practiced in acute and critical care settings and continued education for the past 32 years. That and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express at least once in my life.
Hence the term *practicing medicine*. I never really truly understood what it meant until hearing a few doctors tell stories
I have often pondered we (the collective), give the medical field way too much sway on certain things. That it no way implies I believe they "practice" voodoo, but it does make me wonder how some are as highly regarded and are the last word on things in this country as a whole?
To clarify even further, I have been misdiagnosed, my mother has (cost her her life), brothers, and many friends. These doctors are humans. Just like teachers. Policeman. Take your pick. Some are generations above others, and some are misinformed, old and stuck in their ways (still using old school reflex hammers), some don't learn new techniques, keep up with new findings, or even read anymore, etc.
The initials Dr. don't guarantee any level of skill in their particular field, hence the term; getting a second opinion!

No more than what I’ve heard recently on the news talking about possible cases in California BUT I’m skeptical, as are many others in that there would most likely have been exponentially more cases in the area that would have drawn attention from the CDC ultimately. Even when there’s not a pandemic about, things get reported through medical billing and so forth and statistics are created very quickly, almost in real time. I’m of the consensus that those stats weren’t evident of an outbreak in January, but when people want to see something they can usually just barely make it out in the fog.Magdump, I’ve heard from some medical folks that they think this thing is out and about by as much as a factor of 50x’s the known positives. We know they are finding deaths possibly as early as January (late Jan). What are the thoughts of the professionals you work with regarding that?

Lol, true story bro! Next campout!Thanks for the replay, magdump.
