Hydroxychloroquine, the medication Trump is always talking about....

[David - WI]

If this is all "known" then why has it been such a "mystery" why some people are affected so badly and why are people resisting the use of Hydroxychloroquine?

Cytokine storms are a common complication not only of covid-19 and flu but of other respiratory diseases caused by coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS. They are also associated with non-infectious diseases such as multiple sclerosis and pancreatitis.

The phenomenon became more widely known after the 2005 outbreak of the avian H5N1 influenza virus, also known as “bird flu”, when the high fatality rate was linked to an out-of-control cytokine response.

Yer gonna have to ask them. But my wife took it for years with no side effects.

Finally something that makes sense in this whole mess: https://www.foxnews.com/media/califo...-to-treat-them

T cells are very important too. That immune supplement I took worked to boost T cells.
This is the supplement I took that boosted my immune system but it was made by Lane Labs. https://www.biobran.org/
When I was taking it I went from always getting colds and the flu to not getting any colds or the flu.
This is Lane Labs replacement for MGN3> https://www.laneinnovative.com/product/noxylane4-2/

That doctor in CA has the answer to this whole mess. He can tell if you're going to end up on a ventilator in the ICU before it happens and stop it from happening... so at that point this is just "the flu". Start cranking the economy back up, treat the people who have bad reactions to the virus in clinics, doctor's office's, and hospitals before they become critical so you don't overload the emergency rooms... and get on with life.

“You can predict on presentation who is going to be at risk for it and then if you follow certain markers and their clinical course you can actually tell who is going to develop it and, more importantly, you can intervene to prevent them from getting to that point where they need a ventilator,” Yadegar said.

Testing is a dead end... even if they could test 1 million a day; that's still a year to test everyone.

so at that point this is just "the flu".

It's NOT the flu.

If you die from Covid 19 you are MUCH MORE DEAD than if you die from the flu.

The FDA and CDC are both very close to big Pharma, the malaria drug is being back peddled because no one stands to make Billions off this drug. Only when the FDA approves a new drug will we see big Pharma and the MSM jump on board. Billions will be made by who ever gets approved 1st, you can be sure it won’t be the existing drug that is not under a patent.

Long article, but I think this guy has it right: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-...irus-narrative

“Aside from New York, nationally there’s been no health system crisis. In fact, to be truly correct there has been a health system crisis, but the crisis is that the hospitals are empty,” he said. “This is true in Florida where the lockdown was late, this is true in South Carolina where the lockdown was early, it's true in Oklahoma where there is no statewide lockdown. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between the lockdown and whether or not the epidemic has spread wide and fast.”

Australian scientists find Ivermectin kills COVID-19

As of Friday, fewer than 100 of the more than 1,000 beds at the Javits Center were staffed by federal medical personnel, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

As of Sunday, the Navy ship had treated about 40 patients, most of whom were recovering from emergency surgeries conducted at hospitals on land.

So, again, this is why some people have such horrible reactions to the virus but most people don't.

The immune system normally uses proteins called cytokines as weapons in fighting a disease. For unknown reasons in some COVID-19 patients, the immune system first fails to respond quickly enough and then floods the body with cytokines, destroying blood vessels and filling the lungs with fluid.

The drug they used to save the guy in the article above:

FDA approves Roche’s Actemra COVID-19 trial

Roche has announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has formally approved its phase 3 trial of Actemra in severely ill COVID-19 patients, who have been hospitalised with pneumonia.

Thank god for this "lockdown"... we just had our first Covid-19 death of a resident of our county. I mean, the guy was out of the state at the time; but we need our moment in the news. LOL

The local hospital just closed their special "Covid-19 Clinic"... we have had 19 total cases in the whole county so far.

Glad to hear you've been able to avoid contracting Covid-19! Sounds like y'all are walking in a mine field up there.
My Parish has had 15 deaths from Covid-19 with a population of 203,112 in the Parish. That's 0.007385% of the population.
