Good for you, glad wife is OK too. Healthcare pros have been hoarding the stuff for a while in case they or their loved ones got the WuFlu.
If I were to get it, I'd be all over my PCP to gimme a zinc plus hydroxy Rx. |

Quoted: Sometime in March a thread was started in GD asking if anyone had started taking, or knew someone who was taking, hydroxychloroquine for Covid 19. I replied I take hydroxychloroquine for arthritis and would be willing to post my experience if/when there was a story to tell. So, here it is. On March 19, wife returned from a multi day, multi state trip. Five days later she started having symptoms, elevated temp, headache, body aches, feeling wiped out, etc. Next day was worse so went to MD. At that point one had to be very ill to get tested, at least here. Symptoms lasted 5-6 days then started feeling better, but altered taste lasted a lot longer. We assumed she had experienced Covid 19. I never had any symptoms. Last week of April wife was "randomly selected" to participate in a statewide Covid testing/screening program sponsored by State Board of Health. Early May, her results came back + for antigen, + for antibodies. At that point guidelines for testing had changed to anyone symptomatic and/or anyone with close physical relationship with someone who had tested +, so I was able to be tested. Received results today, + for antibodies. Again, I have never had any symptoms. I am sure all you medical/scientific types are going to say anecdotal, does not prove anything. I think this is a good indicator that this med has a role in treatment of Covid 19. And, it has been used in treatment of other similar viral infections, apparently with positive results. I hope someone will do the proper double blind studies. But, if this virus goes away quickly like other similar ones have, that may be difficult, even impossible. You need to contact Doc Oz as he is part of a national study evaluating exactly this—potential prophylactic uses of the drug. You are exactly the data lints with testing to back it up he needs. |

I do not know if that is normal/common with this type infection I know that Doc Oz is a stupid TV talkshow doc, but the study is real. They are researching the possibility of the drug being used prophylacticly and are actively seeking out chronic users of the drug (say for psoriasis) and exposures. That you and your wife both had the illness, proven by testing, and one got sick but the other did not, I’d actually a pretty key piece of evidence. No guessing because you have objectively documented infection. Sean Hannity’s website may have contact information as they were talking about it on the radio. |

So testing positive for both the antigen and the antibody means there's probably no chance the test is picking up some other coronavirus you may have had a while back or recently? Trying to wrap my head around all this.

For what it's worth, they have tested thousands where I work. Roughly 1/3 tested positive. Less than half of those had symptoms. The people I personally knew that tested positive showed no symptoms during their quarantine.

We already know that upwards of 50 percent of people who get the virus show no symptoms, this is highly anecdotal as OP noted.
Quoted: Yea, thanks OP. Please contact Dr. Oz! A victory for chloroquine is a victory for Trump! No, this is illogical and wrong. Evidence for the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in one of the many trials still ongoing would be a victory in the war against covid-19, which must be fought logically. Boosting positive, anecdotal results or confirmation bias towards positive info is counterproductive. The BBC said, just a few days ago this: There is insufficient evidence at the moment from current trials as to their effective use in treatment of patients with Covid-19. There are also risks of serious side effects, including renal and liver damage. https://www.bbc.com/news/51980731 Let's wait for the results of the 20 or so scientific studies the BBC article notes are in progress and use an objective analysis so that only proven treatments are being prescribed. |

OP, did you get H1N1 around 8-9 years ago, or get the vaccine for it? There is a lot of anecdotal evidence of current covid immunity in those that went through that event.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Compta: I don't know why they're not giving this shit out to people as soon as they test positive. On another thread someone mentioned that Gilead (maker of one of the new drugs being developed) was going to make a lot of money if their drug works and takes off. A cheaper drug like HCL at 60 cents a pill would kill the potential profits of such a maker of a much more expensive drug (Remdesivir supposed to cost $4,000 and be administered through an IV in the hospital) and not even require an expensive hospital stay. If HCL is proven to work as many people claim it does, there would be no need for expensive hospital admissions for coronavirus because they could be cured at home long before the symptoms become life threatening. Hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies would lose a possible gold mine if HCL works as many claim it does. It's kind of like that old 70's myth about some home engineer who developed a car engine/carburator that got 125 mile per gallon and suddenly he disappeared and so did his invention. Supposedly because the big oil companies didn't want a device that would make their gasoline dirt cheap. |

I really question the media's motives when they keep running stories like this. HCQ has been around forever and people have been taking it for years at a time, but suddenly when it could potentially be an effective treatment against covid its so dangerous it shouldn't be used?? |
