Trump SAYS he's been taking hydroxychloroquine though "NOT RECOMMENDED" by WH docs

[christiefan915]

He is a moron who ordered COVI infected patients to be admitted to nursing homes where the MOST at risk population was while transferring his 95 year old mother out. Anyone with half a brain knows that is terrible idea. Blood is on his hands. The moron.

That is simply not true. Furthermore, Dr. Levine's mom was in assisted living, not a nursing home, and she asked to leave temporarily until the virus went away.

"The Pennsylvania Department of Health clarified on Tuesday that it was not discussing using nursing homes like Massachusetts. The department “has been working on a number of options in regard to alternative care sites, which includes using ambulatory surgical facilities,” the statement said. “We have not had discussions about repurposing nursing homes, and that would not be a conversation in Pennsylvania.”

But for the sake of argument, let's say people give up their home and belongings and move into a facility. They are paying to rent a room or suite. If they get Covid-19, go to the hospital for treatment, recover and are released, where are they supposed to go? The facility IS their home.

They readmitted them with ACTIVE COVID infections. 68% of all COVID deaths in Pennsylvania were in nursing homes. The order was for nursing homes and ASSISTED living facilities. Dr. Levine says his mother requested the move but Dr. Levine made it happen. Apparently Dr. Levine's mom is smarter than he is. Only a moron psychiatrist that has absolutely no experience with infection control would readmit active COVID cases to nursing homes and care facilities. Nursing home infection control procedures are very bad there is a reason MRSA is very common in nursing homes and assisted care facilities. Dr. Levine has blood on his hands thank God his mother was saved from that COVID breeding ground its sad other peoples partents had to die..

^ You mean readmitted to their nursing home after a hospital discharged them with active infections? Below is from PA's guidance on hospitals' responses to Covid-19. As far as the 68% covid deaths in nursing homes, I believe the number is similar for flu deaths in nursing homes also, even with a flu vaccine. You appear to have a beef with Dr. Levine.

Mandatory Patient Testing for COVID-19 Prior to Discharge to a Receiving Facility

Hospitals treating patients who will be discharged to a nursing care facility,personal care home or assisted living residence must test the patient for COVID-19 prior to discharging the patient. Test results do not need to be obtained prior to discharge, but the test results must be prioritized relative to other test results and be communicated to the receiving facility when received by the hospital. Hospitals that do not have their own laboratory that has been approved to perform COVID-19 testing must utilize a commercial laboratory.

If a patient tested positive for COVID-19 prior to admission to the hospital, the hospital does not need to test the patient again under this section. Prior to discharge, the hospital must communicate to the receiving facility that a test has been administered,and the results or that results are pending,if the results have not been received by the hospital. Patients known to have or suspected of having COVID-19 but awaiting test results should be discharged to a facility with the ability to adhere to infection prevention and control recommendations of the Department and the CDC for the care of COVID-19 patients. Receiving facilities may not refuse to accept or readmit a patient or resident due to pending test results but may refuse to accept a patient-resident if a COVID-19 test has not been administered.

With the way cable news people talk about hydroxychloroquine, you’d think it was an exotic herb mixed into a potion recipe passed down only in spoken word by aboriginal Australians, rather than what it actually is — a government-regulated drug that’s been prescribed by medical doctors for decades to treat multiple conditions.

President Trump said this week that his doctor cleared him to start taking the drug as a potential prophylactic against the coronavirus. He also pushed it as a possible “line of defense” that might be used more widely if it proves effective.

Almost nothing in the past three months has enraged the press like Trump’s desperate cheerleading for a treatment for COVID-19, for which there so far is none, so naturally, they got angry all over again.

The jury is still out on whether hydroxychloroquine or that drug with some combination of another drug offers any certain benefit to COVID-19 patients who take it under care by their doctor. But it's far from drinking Drano.

The National Institutes of Health published one study this month that said COVID-19 positive patients in France were given hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in tandem. It concluded that the treatment was “significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients.” In other words, patients receiving the treatment recovered quicker.

Other studies have shown no association between the drug and recovery whatsoever, nor have they found that it works as a preventative.

One Veterans Affairs study often cited in news reports said that the treatment was abruptly ended after too many patients died, though it’s unclear if they died because of the drug or if they died because they were elderly and severely ill beyond recovery, to begin with.

So, it’s possible that a hydroxychloroquine treatment works for younger people but not the elderly. Or, perhaps it works for infected people who have only exhibited mild symptoms.


The FDA has said that it has received reports that use of the drug coincided with heart problems in some patients, but nobody knows yet whether that was because of the drug. Though, it’s worth noting that plenty of drugs have dangerous side effects. Every pharmaceutical ad lists them, and yet, those products are still pushed in cable news commercial breaks all day.

Wonder who bought STOCK after Trump's first sales pitches?

Wonder who bought STOCK after Trump's first sales pitches?

There are Trump admin people who have stock in the right PHARM companies. I read Trump and Jared have some money in it. But not that much. Ross is another one. Trump is pushing it because he has to have some way to mitigate the damage Corona is doing to his presidential chances. He is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Hydroxy is a dead end. Trump is a salesman. The proof is not needed. You just have to be able to sell it. He is selling his fat ass off. The same cast of right-wingers is buying it as they always do.
