They may be trying the new chloroquine method with Foreverfan, but from what I'm hearing from other medical personnel "in the know" it's not quite refined for early patients and they have to administer it in HUGE dosages which are causing HUGE side effects.
The dose recommendations that have been conducted in studies with both France and Italy are the same dose recommendations to treat malaria. The only difference being it needs to be taken daily for 10 days to treat covid.

“60 kg or more: 1 g chloroquine phosphate (600 mg base) orally as an initial dose, followed by 500 mg chloroquine phosphate (300 mg base) orally after 6 to 8 hours, then 500 mg chloroquine phosphate (300 mg base) orally once a day on the next 2 consecutive days
Total dose: 2.5 g chloroquine phosphate (1.5 g base) in 3 days”

If the combo works as it has been so far, it’s a game changer, it’s a cheap drug widely produced already and the side effects are well known and don’t include death.

The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.

So when patients O2 sats fall due to inflamed, congested bronchial pathways, and become unresponsive, what is the dosage for IV delivery?

Same as the malaria treatments “loading dose” just gets extended to 10 days rather than 3.

NY is supposed to start testing on a wide scale Tuesday and recommend it to patients Through companionate use orders. Right now it’s only used if patients request it, but from what I’ve read doctors aren’t sharing it’s an option, NY will be the first to change that. Hopefully it works there and although I’m not a Democrat I think Cuomo has don’t a great job managing the issue and working with the Feds, he has gone out on a limb with testing these drugs.
