The new study, of which the abstract was released today, was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France. A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated.

Key findings are:

• No cardiac toxicity was observed.

• A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%).

A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more.

The authors conclude that:

“The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.”

He kinda looks like the dude.

GOP’s Mike DeWine, not Ron DeSantis, is the kind of governor Florida needs in this crisis | Editorial

Ohio’s DeWine has been resolute, decisive and serious. DeSantis has been meek, unsure and flippant. DeWine has led from the front; DeSantis from behind.

Floridians have noticed, and they’re not happy. While the post-pandemic popularity of many governors is soaring because of their responses — DeWine is up by 35 points — DeSantis is down by 7.

Why positioning Covid-19 patients on their stomachs can save lives - CNN

"We're saving lives with this, one hundred percent," said Narasimhan, the regional director for critical care at Northwell Health, which owns 23 hospitals in New York. "It's such a simple thing to do, and we've seen remarkable improvement. We can see it for every single patient."

The US death toll was 2,405 on Tuesday, a new record.

 

[Ty Webb]

The US death toll was 2,405 on Tuesday, a new record.

2405 vs 330,000,000 people.

And for this we are killing our small businesses in America? We have been though world wars, pandemics with much higher death tolls, the ANNUAL INFLUENZA and we don’t shut down the country.

Time for SoWal people to get out and get back to work.
