And they already have commitments to produce over 200 million doses

Good. Commitments aren’t supplies in hand, though.

Nevada has fewer than 30 critical cases in the entire state

Fewer than 30 right now, let's hope it stays that way.

Bad form for a politician to ban potential medical advances. Very bad form.

He's tried of Newsome getting credit for being the stupidest governor

Wow this guy may be worse than Inslee & Newsome. Sorry Nevada

Is this TIC? This is a recommendation from Nevada Board of Health.

Zoobieman

Recommendation not being followed by NV physicians.

Zoobieman

No, these guys just know better than everybody else.

Isn’t hydroxychloroquine being recommended to physicians as a first line treatment for coronavirus infection?

SierraCoug

Yes. FDA recommends

Can you show me a link or any evidence of this?

Zoobieman

3/25/20 11:11am

See the link below from SierraCoug

jkccoug

3/25/20 11:23am

I am aware that it is not FDA approved for that purpose. Prescribed off-label

jkccoug

3/25/20 11:25am

No, looking at the FDA and CDC there are no recommendations to date.

Zoobieman

3/25/20 11:10am

What's your response to this from Chairman of National Advisory Commission on Rural Health

SierraCoug

3/25/20 11:16am

It wasn't, the article I originally read was missing a lot of peritnent details

fldnstrm

3/25/20 10:21am

Fair enough

Zoobieman

3/25/20 10:54am

best argument is that he is waiting for the controlled trials to come out before allowing widespread prescriptions
