You shouldn’t. I know you want to but hospital is not where you want to be

Usually not. You wouldn’t be able to get into room anyways

I doubt they’d let anyone visit a Covid positive patient

You are probably right. I was just

You’re good, wasn’t trying to contradict you, just adding information.

They won't let anyone come visit a covid positive patient in an IHC hospital.

Very common to have a high FiO2 (the 70% oxygen number you quoted) immediately after intubation

Also very common for users of hydroxychloroquine

SJS

4/5/20 3:33pm

Proof?

travelcoug

4/5/20 3:52pm

The burden of proof is on you, sir. Show me a large, prospective study that shows that plaquenil or any other medication

SJS

4/5/20 4:01pm

So ridiculous to not save lives because you are so arrogant.

travelcoug

4/5/20 4:08pm

Link to said studies?

SJS

4/5/20 4:14pm

Here is info

Sorry, I’m not looking for news reports or CB posts

SJS

4/5/20 4:48pm

Do you think it should be used at all? I admit I haven’t read this entire

tander123

4/5/20 4:51pm

I'm saying I haven't seen any proof from legitimate medical literature that it works

SJS

4/5/20 5:03pm

So you are against it being used right now?

tander123

4/5/20 5:07pm

I'm against using anything until there is success demonstrated

SJS

4/5/20 5:11pm

Thanks for clarifying. I generally would agree if we had the time. I’m ok

tander123

4/5/20 5:16pm

Well duh genius. How long has COVID-19 been around...not long enough to complete a study.

4/6/20 7:58am

Wait two years and remember to have the integrity to reject this if you have

travelcoug

4/5/20 4:54pm

So the final answer is: no, you don't have a link.

SJS

4/5/20 5:01pm

Your final answer it’s ok if people die as long as my agenda lives

travelcoug

4/5/20 5:05pm

I don't have an agenda. I would use anything that works. You said you had proof, but can't link to anything

SJS

4/5/20 5:09pm

Doctors that use it and have had hundreds of successes no failures statistical

travelcoug

4/5/20 5:14pm

Again, you shouldn't post on this until you have a real study. Thanks though.

SJS

Sometimes when it's a matter of life or death

bigjohn

4/5/20 5:41pm

That's very much not the meaning of "statistical proof". It's a bunch of anecdotes.

You're correct - see my post below

Nope - said I'd use it if hospitalized. Please read the whole post. Maybe you

Agreed, discussing with him further seems pointless. Good post by yourself though.

Also false

SJS

4/5/20 3:58pm

It's promising, but IMO a clinical trial is vastly superior to a survey.

No duh. Of course. No one is saying they wouldn’t prefer to have a long
