I’ve been talking to my daughter about this, she was telling me that the reason this drug is working for treatment is because of its immune-regulating properties. A lot of people are dying because their own immune systems are raging out of control and start attacking healthy cells. Administering this drug at the right time help to regulate it. The right time is key, as they do have to let the body’s immune system do it’s job against the virus.
I tend to listen to her as she works at the University of Maryland Medical Center and studies viruses.

This is basically what she was telling me. Shows some promise.

wayne, another.
i’ll stop, i could go all day. And no, I don’t think Trump is a doctor. You are the one wallowing in ignorance on this issue. you would
do well to ask yourself why your sources kept all this from you. it was intentional, there was a specific reason why you had no
idea that actual doctors, in some cases, had some success with this drug. Can you guess?

You tried to differentiate "best option", from "an option that's better than the other available options"
Because that makes sense.

You do understand that one of the more susceptible groups to complications from Covid-19 are those on Chemo-therapy, right?
Why wouldn't an oncologist be involved in the treatment regiment of their patients when Covid-19 is involved?

See, you just ruined his theory that only a doctor from a discipline completely unrelated to this, could agree with Trump. He's clinging to the hope that no doctor qualified to render an opinion on this, could possibly agree with Trump.

This has happened ...
My Father who is 79 not in the best health but good for his age. He tested postive for Covid 19
Over a week ago and only had mild symptoms . Thankfully.
This leads me to the issue of hydroxychloroquine.. and its precived success in outcomes
If he was given hydroxychloroquine( HE WAS NOT) should I have concluded this was the reason he only had mild symptoms, based on his age and the news on who is at greater risk
But if he had been given it and with all the info on who's being impacted, by covid the conclusion would have been the hydroxychloroquine saved him , and perhaps his doctor would draw the same conclusions and prescribed to others ..
when what actual happen wasHe just kicked it with no medical Treatment other hydration and tylenol. And he just stayed at home
His recovery isnt Anecdotal ... but if he was on hydroxychloroquine it would be considered anecdotal

You are so, so ignorant on this. I'm glad you aren't advising your dad (thank God his case is mild, I hope it stays that way!)
It's not for people with mild symptoms. It's mostly being reserved for people with severe symptoms, and many doctors have ghad success.
Obviously, if a person takes the drug and gets better, that doesn't necessarily mean the drug was the reason...perhaps they would have gotten better on their own.
But why are so many doctors saying that it's helping, in some cases? It's not 100% effective, nothing is. But why are so many doctors saying they are having success, with certain kinds of patients? They're all lying?
Just because you and Spence hate the fact that Trump was right about something, doesn't mean he can't ever be right bout anything.
That's all this is. If Trump said chloroquine could never help, you'd all be saying everyone should take it.
I'm no expert on medicine. I leave it to the experts. So when I hear doctor after doctor after doctor say that the drug has helped in certain cases, I have n reason to doubt them. You and Spence and CNN and MSNBC have a reason to doubt them - you hate Trump.
NO DOCTOR, not one, is denying that most who get it can recover with no medical treatment. What they are saying (and you'd know this if you'd take your fingers out of your ears), is that some very sick patients, are having success with the drug. They're not saying everyone needs the drug, they're not saying everyone is a good candidate to take the drug, they're not saying that everyone who is a good candidate will be cured with the drug. They are saying it helps.
You guys are completely out of your minds, and have turned this forum into an absolute waste, when it didn't used to be that way. It's not possible to have a rational conversation.

No, I'm not missing the point You are saying there's no evidence that it works. That's demonstrably false. There is all kinds of evidence that it works, you just don't like the political implication that Trump might have been right bout something.
I don't give a frogs fat azz if Trump was right or wrong. Regardless of your opinion of Trump, the drug is having some success.
Why does this have anything to do with Trump? Why does he factor into this at all? Answer - you are obsessed with him.
If Trump never said a word about this drug, you'd be agreeing with me here.

What is your bar in determining success 1 in a million. 2 % is it even a fact based number ,

I get that words matter from a president, I do. And if your tune here was limited to his specific language, that's one thing. But you're denying that this drug works, and you're doing it for one reason only - you are deranged with hate for one person who said it. Fine, just listen to the doctors. But you can't do that, because your hatred of Trump is more compelling than your instinct to believe a large number of doctors.
Everyone knows all about that "small study", which s why the drug isn't a good idea for everyone.
Pathetic.
Politics is all that matters, which s why the same people who said we had to believe Kavanaugh's accuser, now believe in innocence until proven guilty in the case of Biden.

"What is your bar in determining success 1 in a million. 2 % is it even a fact based number , "
I don't have an exact number (thought I know a hell of a lot more about this stuff than you do), but when doctor after doctor after doctor says they are having success in certain cases, I figure that's very unlikely to be a coincidence or a pro-Trump conspiracy.
"we still dont know who's whispering in his ear about hydroxychloroquine is it you?"
I think you might be disabled. Trump is just listening to the same kinds of people that I'm listening.
Why do you doubt all those doctors who say it's working? What qualifications do you have, do conclude that they're all full of BS?
Everything you said in this entire thread, is gibberish.

Further information emerges from real doctors
CONCLUSIONS:
In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without
azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19.
An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with
hydroxychloroquine alone. These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of
ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs.
