– DISCUSSION of what happens when one is hospitalized; 1. Patient stays on a ventilator in ICU for 8 to 14 days; 2. Patient is sedated; 3. Patient is paralyzed; 4. MONTHS of recovery returning home, possible cardiac damage too.
– REPORT on hydroxychloroquine that were used to treat malaria. Thought is that it blocks the virus getting into the cell. Given orally. Study in France looks promising. Question is the timing of the effectiveness of the drug. Not as beneficial AFTER the symptoms become more serious.
