    Cuomo Admits Hydroxychloroquine Works

    New York Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke positively of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine — which has been touted by the White House — at his daily press briefing Monday, announcing that the state will request an additional supply from the federal government.

    The Democratic governor said the drug has "anecdotally" been "effective" in treating COVID-19, explaining that state officials have been given permission to use it in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax in hospitals "at their discretion." However, he emphasized that official data has not yet been released.

    "The tests in the hospital, they're too short a period of time to get a scientific report," Cuomo said. "Hospital administrators, doctors want to have a significant data set before they give a formal opinion. Anecdotally, you'll get suggestions that it has been effective. But we don't have any official data yet from a hospital or a quote-unquote study, which will take weeks if not months."

    "There has been anecdotal evidence that it is promising; that's why we're going ahead," he added, noting that some patients are unable to take hydroxychloroquine due to their pre-existing conditions or medication regimens.

    With Cuomo's go-ahead, New York will take in a greater supply of the drug from the federal government, allowing the state to lift a 14-day limit currently in place to ensure there is enough for those who need it to treat other health conditions.

    That must mean that he's sure what the conclusion will be.

    I always like the 'anecdotally' thing. In other words it actually works when we give it to them but we haven't done an actual study yet so we're really not sure whether it works or not.

    They need to prove it better, some times anecdotal evidence falls apart. Extreme situations do however require early action.

    Hello my wonderful friends! My in-laws in Norfolk, Nebraska, recently tested positive for the virus. My mother-in-law (86) has COPD and it was a very dire situation. My father-in-law (88) had been battling at home for two weeks and was very weakened. They basically told us that my mother-in-law was probably not going to make it and to start making arrangements. I asked the nurse if they had tried the drug combo Trump had mentioned many times. She kind of scoffed at me and said no. So I asked to speak directly to my mother-in-law and pressed her hard to ask her doctor to order the hydroxychloroquine and the Z-pac combination. So she did. Within 24 hrs., she was sitting up and speaking without difficulty. If someone with the lung capacity of a kitten can recover from this, anyone can. My father-in-law is going home to recoup after only 3 days on the meds. If Trump had not publicly pressed people to order their doctors to try these drugs together, my mother-in-law would have died. So no matter what anyone says about how he is handling the virus, he is saving lives!!
