After the failure of chloroquin, Trump now has another cure for Corona. Light and sanitizers pumped INSIDE our bodies.

The largest analysis of hydroxychloroquine use finds no benefit for coronavirus, increased deaths


Quote:

An anti-malaria drug touted by President Trump as a potential "game changer" amid the coronavirus outbreak showed no benefit for patients, according to an analysis of those hospitalized in Veterans Health Administration medical centers.

The analysis found the two primary outcomes for COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine were death and the need for mechanical ventilation.

The analysis was conducted retrospectively, based on data from patients hospitalized with confirmed coronavirus infections in all Veterans Health Administration medical centers until April 11.

The study analyzed only 368 patients but represented the largest look at the outcomes of COVID-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine — with or without azithromycin, a common antibiotic — anywhere in the world.

The popularity of hydroxychloroquine is skyrocketing, even though there is no real data that shows how it benefits patients. The popularity of both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin has led to shortages.


For those who have watched Contagion - this reminds me of "forsythia"


This study is one among many that will inform treatment. It does not prove that chloroquine does not work. It has a number of issues that will need to be sorted in more trials (not peer reviewed, no control group, retrospective in nature, given to very sick patients etc. etc.) before we discount chloroquine completely.

Chloroquine will remain under compassionate use until a better treatment is found. In fact, many groups around the world are testing it as a way to prevent infection and re-infection for health care workers and those with milder forms of the disease.

In the meantime, WHO mistakenly leaked the failure of another hopeful drug remdesivir tanking stock markets..


As I said hapo awali, medicine/science is very provisional-too many moving parts at the moment to make any conclusions about treatments for this disease.

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho says at least 23 out of 300 Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) workers in the coastal city have contracted coronavirus.

“The coronavirus test results we have gotten from mass examination at KPA are very worrying,” he said while launching a 300-bed capacity COVID-19 facility and four ICU ambulances at Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) on Thursday, April 23.

“Twenty three (23) people testing positive for coronavirus out of the 300 KPA employees tested, is not a joke; that is almost 10 per cent of the staff population,” said the county chief.

Joho urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to totally lock down Mombasa to avert possibility of a coronavirus explosion in the coastal city “within the next few weeks”.



Now add the family members of the 23 and their close contacts...


Did this truck drivers pick their cargo from mombasa

5 Kenyan truck drivers test positive in Uganda

Most likely. Now to think of the numbers along the highway especially if the truck was from Mombasa.

Then again, govt is saying 67% of people who tested positive were asymptomatic.d'oh!

Whereas its noble for people to have kitchen gardens on balconies etc those balconies are also our cloth lines hangout dens and others are too dusty for life. Surely, wouldn't it be prudent for the govt to ensure that food sold to the mass market is mapped from the source. We have been eating sewage food for a long time but nothing is done, the govt has been watching as the markets get filthy but there has been no initiative to ensure the markets are clean.

Kitchen gardens = Money wasted

- South Korea outlined guidelines on Friday for a two-year return to a post-coronavirus normality including flexible working, bookings on public transport and quick restaurant meals in a country that has been a role model in containing COVID-19.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) reported just six new cases, the lowest number since the Feb. 28 peak of 909 in South Korea, which suffered the first major coronavirus epidemic outside China.

With no new deaths, the toll remained at 240 and authorities hope daily new cases will drop to zero in the coming days after dipping below 10 on Sunday following several days above that level. Total recorded infections are at 10,708 in the country of almost 52 million people.

I think we all now agree on what some of us have been telling you. The desease is here with us. Mass testing and mass quarantines are just a waste of time and money. Its also a way of causing panic and we have seen that most of this infections are happening there.(quarantine facilities)
Even the republicans have realized that once the desease reaches a certain number of infections in the General population contact tracing becomes useless.

The government should concentrate more on General hygiene and wearing of masks
All this lockdowns should be lifted and we continue with our daily biz.

Mpobiz, you have a long way to get to Hardwood

"I think we all agree...." is not a statement that emotes positivism. It shows that you are not sure of what you are saying.

I may not be sure about Covid-19, but I'm very sure that you can make better use of your bandwidth. But heck, it's your bandwidth. Use it as you please.

There is a way out of you out of the doldrums of people not trusting anything you say. You need to prove you mean what you say. With action.

I'll give you a few suggestions:

1. Go into a Covid hospital and prove it's a mild disease.
2. Invite people to your house where your children are living and your parents.

Those two can help us understand that we should not panic. We should not quarantine. And you can at least be one of the people who prove or disapprove "herd mentality"

It's that simple. Otherwise, your posts here reek of being paid less than 527 bob and that's not good for the Kenyan economy. It shows that wages for "mbroggers" are dropping.

Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
