This virus started with one case and within two months we were where we are now, still many dying daily and hundreds more being infected. The minute they lift the quarantine and lets face it, eventually they'll have to we will be back to square one within a few weeks. Yes, but I will have had time to go out and buy enough booze to drink myself into oblivion, come the next lockdown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many anti-virals are working very well and many more are being tested in combinations with promising early results from all over the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A famous Australian billionaire gave about 30 million doses of Hydroxychloroquine to the Government health department to allow doctors to order and deliver to their patients for free. Lots of test have confirmed it's use with Z-pacs and preferrably zinc, and alos some countries have trialed it successfully with other anti-biotcs/anti-virals and even anti-HIV drugs which is why Thailand is having such success from early on. Can't remember hte guys name so I can't find a link to post here. I don't think it's going to be as big a problem going into the future as the media is making out. Imagine it, a cure, simple cheap effective, the general population rejoices and look at the big money lost by so many other players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope so! And I really don't give a s*** about the "big" players... they can all go suck eggs... Edited April 24, 2020 by Tommy T.

I hope that is not the ultimate killer with this "cure." I actually have a small amount of the chloroquine for use when I was sailing. Maybe not enough to medicate for this plague? I also have a fair supply of the azithromycin - one of the benefits of sailing was that I got supplies of all sorts of meds... for "just in case" scenarios... I had very enlightened physicians "advising and supplying" me when I was sailing...Maybe now some of those supplies will prove to work? Or maybe kill me too?... I will let you know...

I hope that is not the ultimate killer with this "cure." That is being reported by the media but was not the case for decades and well since 1860 or so when it was first used in it's natural form. The Doctor Rudy Giuliani spoke ot said he hasn't seen that at all in normal dosing. It was only recently added in America and then used to pull it off the shelves and into a prescription only medicine. it's still over hte counter medication in most parts of hte world and taken in some parts of Africa on a daily basis so it can't be too bad. I'll say we'll all find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see restrictions for a few weeks now than have them last for months because some fools push relaxation now... in my opinion... Absolutely agree. This ain't going away just because we wish it would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
