Thanks for posting this! I will be calling in a prescription of Chloroquine tomorrow to keep handy in case I come down with this virus.

Dr. Marty Makary director from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health states that Chloroquine is showing promising results in the treatment of Covid 19 in South Korea. In the video below you'll see this illustrated. The doctor in the video is not Dr. Makary.

Dust off your micro biology textbook and follow along. If you sold your text book bear with the technical description from 1:30-6:00 to hear the promising outlook for Chloroquine. No it is not double blind tested here in the US but we don't have time for that. We have to observe what is being used empirically and works in other countries.

Very cool. With my molecular biology background, I understood all of this...this looks to be quite effective.

Going to forward to my doctor.

At an early stage the measures are most effective to soften the spike of new cases, which might otherwise overwhelm the health system.

Masters is “postponed”... thats a bummer. Called Delta to cancel my flight, and the hold time was over 6 hours.

Hydroxychloroquine is almost certainly more effective (and definitely less toxic) than chloroquine; however, you probably will find that both are (already) in short supply

Covid-19 problem is: no resistance in the immune systems, no antidote. Therefore, currently no cure (1 - 1 1/2 years away).

You either make it through your internal antibodies, or then not. Kids might not have symptoms at all, young adults could have a mild fever and cough, older adults probably regular flu kind of symptoms like, muscle pain, fever and dry cough, elderly and people with pre-conditions are in danger.

We have a modest sized residential weekend coming up for a small charity , of course no one wants to go because of the virus . but unless the UK govt issues guidance banning these events we stand to lose a fair amount of money which folks can`t really afford to lose .
 
That was my concern -- so I did not waste any time. I called in my prescription to the local Costco pharmacy and will have it ready Monday morning.

Don’t you need the prescription from a doctor?
 
Hadn’t seen this map before. It’s everywhere, talking about community spread.

To prevent this from happening timely testing would have been necessary to be able to isolate early cases. Now people have been out there distributing it freely. Oh boy.

Exactly. US was offered cheat code by China, S. Korea, Italy (not to mention Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore). And it was mindbogglingly ignored completely.
 
Lack of availability of widespread testing has impaired the Western countries ability to respond to and contain this epidemic. It may be the most significant difference between the experience in South Korea and that of the rest of the world. What is more amazing is that it still isn’t happening and probably won’t happen soon.

this is like pearl harbor, but franklin roosevelt knew the about the attack 3 months in advance and did absolutely nothing in preparation or in defense.

Not to mention it was offered a working commercially available test by WHO, well before the CDC's test was ready, and it was declined.
