    Like I said, I never had an opinion on HQA (still don’t, there will be more studies).

    But re the politics of it, I thought it was characteristically irresponsible of Trump to tout it as enthusiastically as he did, and I thought it was characteristically irresponsible of the media to assume that just because Trump said it it would turn out to be false.

    Only non-witches get due process.

        I agree 99%

        Initially the drug was the only hope so it might have been important way back when to offer the oxygen mask and life preserver.

          I would ask for it, anyway.

          I'd ask them to bring me the pills along with some eggs and toast.

          Are eggs good for you now? When I was a kid, eggs were like, poison. Then, it was "eat egg whites only." Then, it was eggs are good for you.

          Oh, and also a cup of coffee. Maybe a glass of wine, if it's in the evening.

            Don't forget the bacon. Bacon is now on the good list.

            We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
            Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                Doesn't the virus head for the lungs?

                Breathalyzer tests work because the alcohol is partly breathed out in vapor form.

                Alcohol meets virus in the lungs - bye, bye virus.

                That's just my own observation, no Harvard study yet.

                  My SIL was quite ill. A hop, skip and a jump from the vent, ill. They put her on the cocktail and she turned around. Not dramatically, but turned around. Yes, that's anecdotal, but until something is proven to work, I'd take it.

                    Trump didn't "tout" it. That's the rhetorical language of the memetic narrative that the Left keeps playing back, as if he were a snake oil salesman peddling a miracle cure. And then of course it had to be because he was making money from investments in a pharma company that makes HCQ. Go back to the original presser (March 17, I think) when it was first mentioned -- he listed several hopeful directions for a cure.

                    CQ/HCQ was also part of the S Korean recommendations from mid Feb.

                    This "touting" is all political BS.

                        Looks very much like Trump touted Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin.
