And greenie78, you'll notice I said its recommended NOT to use it on critically ill patients. But there's a difference between hospitalized and critically ill. And you are correct, most people not in the hospital don't need treatments. But what about those that do? Should we just ignore something that may work for a certain segment of the population, just because we feel "Orange Man Bad". I mean, come on, people, wake up. Since when did we get to the point where we're not willing to TRY and save people's lives? There's enough evidence from enough doctors worldwide that show HCQ can be helpful. To ignore that just because you hate Trump is willful ignorance, and its causing people to die.
I don’t hate Trump. I’m a practicing physician in a clinic, hospital, nursing homes, and other places and if a patient calls me and is sick with the COVID, I will put them a steroid and tell them to take Vitamin D, Vitamin C. and zinc. If they’re having worse symptoms like coughing or wheezing, I will add antibiotics. I tried hydroxychlroquine back in April when steroids weren’t recommended and it didn’t do much. Steroids work better because they do reduce the inflammation.
