it is obvious you have flawed research.

I learned how to vet my sources while getting my degree in physical therapy.

Using a scholarly vetted source, Jama, there is this clinical study results released yesterday, March 27th, demonstrating that 5 critically ill patients with ARDS, which has a very poor survival rate, received plasma treatments and all 5 improved. This looks promising for a cure:

Treatment of 5 Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19 With Convalescent Plasma

Results All 5 patients (age range, 36-65 years; 2 women) were receiving mechanical ventilation at the time of treatment and all had received antiviral agents and methylprednisolone. Following plasma transfusion, body temperature normalized within 3 days in 4 of 5 patients, the SOFA score decreased, and Pao2/Fio2 increased within 12 days (range, 172-276 before and 284-366 after). Viral loads also decreased and became negative within 12 days after the transfusion, and SARS-CoV-2–specific ELISA and neutralizing antibody titers increased following the transfusion (range, 40-60 before and 80-320 on day 7). ARDS resolved in 4 patients at 12 days after transfusion, and 3 patients were weaned from mechanical ventilation within 2 weeks of treatment. Of the 5 patients, 3 have been discharged from the hospital (length of stay: 53, 51, and 55 days), and 2 are in stable condition at 37 days after transfusion.

Conclusions and Relevance In this preliminary uncontrolled case series of 5 critically ill patients with COVID-19 and ARDS, administration of convalescent plasma containing neutralizing antibody was followed by improvement in their clinical status. The limited sample size and study design preclude a definitive statement about the potential effectiveness of this treatment, and these observations require evaluation in clinical trials.

In New York the drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic Zithromax as a treatment is being used now, we will know shortly if it is effective.

I heard from Rudy Giuliani on Fox that NY started 250 people on this yesterday. I hope it works. If their death rate drops then I'd say we're on a roll. Current death rate 1.3%.

The governor of my state, Michigan, has joined the other idiot Dem gov of Nevada, to ban doctors from prescribing it, & gone further to threaten pharmacists from filling prescriptions. I believe the left would do anything, even kill their citizens, to make this virus go on in an attempt to regain power. Whitmer is aspiring to much greater power with this move. She has done nothing for Mich. except be a woman with a woman gay activist AG, & her token black Lt.Governor. Her feeble attempt at fixing the roads, which was the thrust of her campaign, resulted in her recommendation of a .45 cent gas tax increase, which thankfully was defeated by the republican legislature. Even the gas tax was going to not just fix the roads, but be divided off to all of the dem must haves. Kind of like what the dems are doing with this stimulus package. They hold you hostage until they break you. I fail to see why anyone would ever willingly support their philosophy. I am ready to leave the state now, even though I am happy in my home. Dems ruin everything they get near.

This from a man who survived in Michigan, after receiving ‘the treatment’. Note that Gov Whitmer had not even requested FEMA assistance, yet went on every program to say the Trump admin. was not helping Michigan. She would rather people die to give her a national platform to advance herself politically. I’m thinking the DNC is loving some Whitmer right now. Don’t you wish she was your Governor?

Update: the President said NY has started 1,100 patients on hydroxychloroquine and Zithromax on March 27th.

They also got quick approval for plasma on critical patients and are starting that.

Abbott Labs developed a fast test for the virus with results in a few minutes.
To open up the economy if we do massive large scale testing, we can know who is infected, and the non infected people can go about their lives and the infected people go into quarantine to get better or die, they can no longer spread the virus around to everyone who is not infected. No more shall everyone be isolated away from jobs and life, but all can go freely about their way versus shelter in place orders which do not work.
We would still need to isolate clear and cleaned community areas to keep them from being infected again. But within the clean areas life could resume some sense of normalcy. This could require a strong lock down, even arrest of sorts for those infected because even one infected person could begin the disease spread again. However if recovered people could guard those being isolated would be good because they are immune and the virus can not escape past them. Envision pockets of diseased areas withing clean communities. After 14 days, most or 80% would be free to resume normal community free life as they will have been cured. The other 20% may need to be hospitalized so they are in effect arrested. by the hospital and not free to leave.


Authorities locked down Typhoid Mary so she could no longer kill any more people, and they did that against her will. But with Covid patients most will recover so this is just a temporary 14 day restraint for most. The way things are being done now, people are fleeing infected places like NYC and spreading the virus all over the place. Same thing happened with spring breakers in Florida.

Here is a video that vividly shows what happens when people are free to move about unhindered.

It seems whenever I hear of the combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin that the 3rd ingredient and critically important element, Zinc, is left out. Zinc interrupts the function of the virus high jacking the cell but has difficulty getting in the cell to do this, but Hydroxychloroquine is an ionophore that opens the way for Zinc to get into the cell and is what makes it effective. The Z-Pac “merely” helps with typical secondary infections due to inflammation in the lungs. The other important element concerning the use of this treatment is that it needs to used be used early on. Neglecting using this treatment early on and/or not including Zinc severely diminishes its effectiveness.

I'm afraid that the trail in NY of 1,100 is being used later in the stage which might downplay the effectiveness and if the Zinc is not part of this combination that this trial's results could be flawed concerning how effective it could actually be.

More good news on this drug. Laura Ingraham has, thankfully, been all over this. Here she interviews infectious disease specialist Dr. Stephen Smith our of New Jersey. He says,

No person who has received five days or more of the hydroxychoroquine-azithro combination has been intibated. The chance of that occurring by chance according to my sons Elan and Hunter who did some stats for me are .000 something. It’s ridiculously low. It’s ridiculously low however you look at it. We were looking at selection bias in this situation. But I cannot think of a reason why. If all else is equal why people that received 5 days or more or even four days or more of this hydroxychloroquine-azithro regimen wouldn’t get intibated… It’s a game-changer. An absolute game-changer. I think this data goes to really support the French data… Laura, I think this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic. I've very serious.


“This is the Beginning of the End of the Pandemic” – Dr. Stephen Smith Announces Hydroxy-Choloroquine Study that is “Game Changer” in Battle Against Coronavirus (VIDEO)

He's using that word. Game changer.

if this is so then i believe we have had a warning from heaven and then a temporary backing off if you will.

James 1
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

OH this is fear driven - YES
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

But will the warning be heeded by the appropriate people
keep praying.

Father have mercy in Jesus name...

This forum can't be the only group of people noticing all the positive news as far as curing this virus.
This epidemic will turn out to be nothing more than a slightly more dangerous variant of the flu, because of the progress made on the various drugs. Some of the new vaccines target the way all corona viruses replicate using viral RNA, so the idea is one vaccine could slay them all and future mutations. Maybe the cure will also destroy common colds caused by corona virus.

Nevada Governor Sisolak Found Hoarding Coronavirus Treatment Drug

Just like the loser governor of my state. You can be sure this zpac was available to her & her family. She has since rescinded her EO, because she doesn’t want it to negatively affect her vp chances. I’ve told you before, she has done nothing for Michigan except propose huge tax increases which would be divvied up not just to the problem at hand, but to all the other dim wish lists. This is their answer to everything. If they ‘help’ you with the pressing need, it’s gonna cost you to cover their ‘needs.’

Strange. So she forbid the used of it, but then stockpiled it?
