    That's a conversation you should have with your wife.

    If you are sick enough that a doctor is prescribing that you will be in the ICU sedated and intubated. You will not be making your own decisions concerning your medical treatment. Right now there is not enough of the drug to treat for minor cases.

    No, Trump just chooses to ignore it.

    I'm not getting sick enough to need intubated. My former neighbor is a nurse at a hospital here and this is what they are taking themselves. I have a hookup if you will.

    I heard about this drug before I knew that Trump mentioned it.

    Sisolak banned prescriptions for it and yet our prisons bought a shit ton. Hmmm, wonder why.

    I'm sure Trump begged India to send us some so he could make money.

    I don't know, but I'd guess that whoever buys for prisons in Nevada is not in possession of some secret information that proves the drug works.

    Trump has probably spent more on personal STD medication than this.

    It isn't a secret. It isn't proven in clinical trials doesn't mean it is a secret.

    I didn't want to even try CBD for my arthritis. As far as I know, our government has banned trials of it for decades.

    It works. I thought it would be a placebo effect. The cream I used at first was odorless. After I'd been using it with good results, on a few occasions I had my wife pick between some lotion that was odorless and felt the same....and the CBD.

    She applied it without me knowing which one it was. I guessed correctly every time.

    It works better than the stuff my doctor prescribed that made my stomach bleed.

    Your results may differ. It lets me sleep at night.

    It's easy, almost cliche' to trash Trump and sometimes easily and correctly done. But it doesn't take much digging in some cases to either find a serious agenda by the mostly very left leaning media (that is not very debatable) or that sometimes it's just dead wrong. How many times did the media tell us they was "overwhelming" evidence of Russia collusion? For 2 years! The the impeachment trial, they changed the charges 3 times trying to come up with something to convict him on. If it was Don Jr. getting $1,000,000 a year from some foreign group with very questionable ties, and Biden/Clinton/Obama brought it up, the media would have hailed them as heros. It would have been just as wrong but the difference in how it would be/has been reacted to is ridiculous and completely lacks objectivity.

    I had in long chat with a local hosptial 'official' last week who talked about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine could provide in some of these cases because of how it works. It is not a cure but how it works can help the patient fight by helping reduce viral load. From a political standpoint, he is a long time Democrat but is also open an objective discussion instead of just trashing Trump....because it was Trump.

    Can only imagine the resonses I'll get here for having a thought that isn't 100% bashing Trump.

    No one needed to tell me that for me to know that.

    ....and in case anyone was wondering about the NYT's agenda, they have changed the headline from,

    “Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine”
    .....to.....
    “Trump’s Aggressive Advocacy of Malaria Drug for Treating Coronavirus Divides Medical Community.”

    First of all, ridiculously small interest, and then the negative angel about how he is dividing the medical community. Newsflash, the medical community is divided on a lot of things and LONG before Trump ever came along.

    What happened to objective reporting?

    Objective reporting? Ha, that shit has been dead for years.

    Now the fake news is apparently cutting in and out of Trump corona updates and deciding what is true and not on the spot if they even show you what was said.

    I am so happy when people decide for me what I need to know and believe.

    What do you think the headline should be?

    Mine, which will surely not be the same as yours, would be:

    "Trump, who has no medical training whatsoever and who frequently makes false statements, gives medical advice during a pandemic"
    Sub-head: "Trump's recommended treatment is just one of many potential but as yet unproven treatments for covid-19"

    There's a reason we do blinded clinical trials. It's not just mindless bureaucracy.

    Humans are very complex machines, both patients and doctors. So it's impossible to determine from anecdotal evidence whether a therapeutic actually works, or if a human simply believes that it works.

    If you want faith healing, there are plenty of churches and/or infomercials that offer that. No clinical trials needed.
