Most hospitals I know of aren't allowing visitors

Even spouses and kids.

Yep, many hospitals have shut it down. If you are COVID positive and in the

I highly doubt they are allowing visitors

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

SouthernBlueBlood

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

No visits are allowed. Hospital policy.

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?

Here is info

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

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

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

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

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

travelcoug

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

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.

It is an approved treatment and world wide it is recognized as the best treatmen

travelcoug

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
