Unless he gets at least one “sufferin’ succotash” in I am not interested
chloroquine seems more like snake oil from what I’ve read. No real help For covid and actively harms some patients. Fuck it though, Trump likes it so the FDA approves it with ~zero evidence.

From what I’ve read it’s used compassionately i.e. “sorry sir, no ventilators left and you’d need one for 3 weeks anyway… but this pill might do the trick, gl, ymmv” You probably get a free link to Keeeeeds youtoobz with each pill…just so you believe

Many of the best researches I’ve worked with over the years are oddballs/unkept. (I’m agreeing with your point, in case that isn’t clear.)
He gets to party with Jesus… The Mexican drug dealer in the infirmary with him.
Just try not to be INSTANTLY DISMISSIVE ok?

I haven’t shaved in a week since started letting me work from home. Starting to look very unkempt.

I went completely feral like 3 days into this thing. At this point I’m something more animal than human.

Treating people with these drugs who do not have a positive covid test seems absolutely worthless from the stand point of determining if it helps or not.

This seems a reasonable roundup of the evidence so far gathered for the use of the various forms of chloroquine:
Verdict
Several in vitro studies report antiviral activity of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine against SARS-CoV-2. In vivo data, although promising, is currently limited to one study with considerable limitations. On the basis of the weak evidence available to date, treatment guidelines have already incorporated the usage of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine for certain patients with COVID-19.Further research should address the optimal dose and duration of treatment, and explore side effects and long-term outcomes.
There is a higher risk of side effects in the presence of renal and liver impairment, and there have been isolated reports of COVID-19 disease-causing renal and hepatic injury.
Over twenty in vivo clinical trials have already been registered to test the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19.
Contraindications for the use of these drugs must be checked for each individual before treatment. Empirical evidence suggests that hydroxychloroquine has a better safety profile, and it might, therefore, be preferable to focus research efforts on this less toxic metabolite.

These doctors don’t look like Nick Nolte’s mugshot. Not sure if I can trust them. I need an eccentric genius right now.

Same, but I have silly sparse facial hair like a teenager. My first weekly check in call with my boss was a video call, gave him a good laugh.
But does the virus live longer in a beard?
