YES! he got that anti-malaria treatment and it absolutely kicked C-19's ass right out the door!!!! He feels great, and if his fever, which has completely disappeared, stays gone he will be released at 4PM today. Two days ago they weren't sure he was gonna live. DC is a diabetic and is somewhat over-weight. Today he's got it whipped!Quote:

Trump was BLASTED by the lib media for daring to say he thinks this anti-malaria drug beats ventilators. They creamed him, laughed at him, mocked him! What he said was he thinks it's better to put patients on this drug, and that is where our efforts ought to be, producing more of this drug and less so on ventilators. I think we can do both... but the point is he said once a patient gets on a ventilator, given the track record so far, they have a very high % of dying.
He's amazing. His instincts are always dead on target.
RIGHT AGAIN!!!
Maybe. Might also have some dangerous interactions with other drugs. And if it turns out not to effective, folks with lupus and RA might not get the drugs they need to treat their conditions.Quote:

Like any true leader he is willing to listen to the experts and not make the call on every little thing. He may take credit for it, but he is NOT making all the evaluations.Quote:

Dayum! just learned one of my contractors and his assistant are C-19 infected. I last had "contact" with them about a week ago or so. Yes, we tried to keep 6 feet apart, but I know we didn't always maintain that. He is very diabetic! His sister texted me to let me know. The beat goes on...!
I contacted his office and his admin assistant said it was March 25th when we last met, so, the 14 days will be up this Wednesday, April 8.Quote:

This is my second brush with it. The first was an attorney about a month ago. Well, second contact I know of. Could be a whole lot more! If I have it, some in my family do too by now.Quote:

Most encouraging Hospitalization 1809 and ventilators 563, only an increase of 6 and 2 over yesterday (assuming everything is up-to-date).
