[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2245919, member: 160246"] Okay, here's a quote for you...[I] "...not a single COVID-19 patient of his that has been on the hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin regimen for five days or more has had to be intubated."[/I] The reporters are referring to an interview last week with Stephen Smith, M.D., founder of The Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health... [URL]https://www.smithcenternj.org/[/URL] And here is his training and accomplishments... [URL]https://www.smithcenternj.org/about-our-doctors/[/URL] Here's the article - (the video of the interview with Dr. Smith is embedded at the top of the article)... [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/media/dr-stephen-smith-on-effectiveness-of-hydroxychloroquine-with-coronavirus-symptoms-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-pandemic[/URL] He doesn't give the entire protocol they're using. He only discusses the two drugs. 72 COVID-19 patients 21 were pre-diabetic (29.2%) 34 were diabetic (47.2%) Average BMI of severely ill patients: 30.7. Of those, 25 overweight, 30 obese. In Seattle, 58% of COVID-19 patients in ICU were diabetic with an average BMI of 33. Of the patients they treated for rapid, severe COVID-19 in the first two days, 19-20 were intubated, 18 were diabetic, 2 pre-diabetic. They have had no severely ill patients under age 70 who didn't have a high BMI or pre-diabetes or diabetes. On day 3, they began using the two drugs on all patients, monitoring the heart with baseline and follow-up EKG's. No person who has received 5 days or more of the two medications have been intubated. Interestingly, I haven't found any interviews with Dr. Smith following the April 3rd interview. My hunch is that governments around the world will try to preserve supplies of these two drugs for the medical professionals and first responders who are at risk while treating COVID-19 patients. Eventually, the supply chain will catch up, but for now, I think we're on our own. [/QUOTE]
