Americans will be flocking to Florida especially from states where their Democrat governors have banned the 90 year old drug.

DeSantis: Shipments of drug hydroxychloroquine to help COVID-19 on way to Florida
Drug will be available to doctors in some hospital systems in Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orlando
By: Local 10, March 29, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementPEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Shipments of the drug hydroxychloroquine will be making their way to Dade and Broward County hospitals to help people seriously ill with COVID-19, according to Florida’s governor.
Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis announced in the opening of his Saturday coronavirus briefing that hospital systems in Dade, Broward and Hillsborough counties, plus some hospitals in Orlando will receive the drug.
Hydroxychloroquine is currently under investigation for treatment of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease.“It was being utilized in the state of New York. We had a Floridian who used it and was in very bad shape and it seemed to clear up the lungs and the virus,” said Desantis.
DeSantis said U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, “a friend of mine,” helped to get him a connection to Israeli drug company Teva Pharmaceutical Industries who has the drug.
“So we are working with Teva and we’ve arranged shipments,” DeSantis said.
“I’m not a doctor. I’m not telling anyone to take it or not take it, but I do believe in the idea of a right to try. If someone is in bad shape and there is no other treatment available and a doctor believes this is something that is helpful, we want that patient be able to have that.”
DeSantis said once the hospitals who need it have it and there are other hospitals that would like to get it, that those systems should let the Florida Department of Emergency Management know.
“We want to be able to help people throughout the state and we will work to coordinate that. If someone is in dire condition and has no other option, we want to be able to give them all the opportunities they have.” He thanked Teva for “turning around that order quickly” and getting the shipment out to Florida. He did not give a specific timeline of the arrival of the drug.
DeSantis stressed that a doctor would have to work with the patient in the decision to be treated with hydroxychloroquine. The drug would be used to treat coronavirus in what is called “off-label.”Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved hhydroxychloroquine is classified as an anti-malarial drug and is useful in treating several forms of malaria. It is often prescribed as a drug to treat lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. It not yet prescribed for coronavirus, but can be used at a doctor’s discretion “off-label.” “Off-label” means the medication is being used in a manner not specified in the FDA’s approved packaging label, or insert.
Korean doctors used the anti-malaria drugs to treat COVID-19 with some success, according to a paper filed with Elsevier, a medical content publishing company, in March 2020, but the effectiveness is still unproven.

Smart move getting it from Israel too! I have been reading there are suddenly shortages of hydroxychloroquine in the U.S.. Hmmmm….
Hopefully we will hear more about this besides naysayer Dr. Fauci.
“It was being utilized in the state of New York. We had a Floridian who used it and was in very bad shape and it seemed to clear up the lungs and the virus,” said Desantis.
The degree of deadliness of the Wuhan virus is still unproven, but that doesn’t stop us from getting it. I do not understand the reluctance from the medical professionals to trying hyroxychloroquine (with Zithromax & Zinc) . All proven safe to use. The risk of trying them is very low, and the potential benefit is astronomical. It could save thousands of lives and save our economy from a depression. Why the foot-dragging?
It would make Trump look good through success stories. TDS is that bad. They want Trump OUT.
TDS is worse than COVID-19 for our nation.

I have mixed feelings about this drug going to Miami and Orlando. Does anyone understand the percentage of the population of these two areas that are non-citizen? I don’t like my tax dollars going to illegals, but I’m also conscious of the duty to provide medical treatment to all. That is a basic human right.
How about deporting them as soon as they are back on their feet?
AOC and others are now demanding the release of illegal criminals in ICE custody, ready for deportation or still going through the courts so they don’t get the virus. They want them with you instead of ICE.
Forget about “social distancing”.
The LA Mayor has discovered a way to get rid of his homeless problem
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently published a paper reporting that Japanese data showed that coronavirus transmission was nearly 20 times more likely indoors than outdoors.
BY JOEL B. POLLAK 29 Mar 2020
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti is moving hundreds of homeless people into recreation centers in residential areas — a policy that is receiving increasing scrutiny and criticism from residents and the media.

No partians! ALL in the open!
Are those huge trash cans on wheels for people that expire?
More good news on Hydroxychloroquine!
Why isn’t Dr. Fraud, er Dr. Fauci talking about this and updating us on this?
Hydroxychloroquine: Help Is On The Way!

Posted: Mar 29, 2020 11:10 AM
Clincal trials began last Tuesday in New York – 3/24/20!
…
Here are just a handful of new developments from the last few days and hours.
1. Dr. Fauci when asked if he would use the Hydroxychloroquine cocktail, answered with resounding affirmation. (Simply because he had asked for better clinical evidence previously did not mean he was unaware of what the data was already showing).
2. France reversed its previous ban on the drug. When the highly esteemed Dr. Didier Raoult released his first survey’s findings the French medical authorities were resistant. As he released an even larger study, with more patients and improved results from his initial study, the French public health officials had no choice but to give guidance as to its use.
3. India’s public health guidance granted affirmation for physicians and front line medical workers to begin taking it as a preventative. This use was the very suggestion I recommended as first steps in this column a week ago. Since our own CDC has cited its prophylactic benefits our doctors and front line medical personnel should be taking it now.
4. Given the increased acceptance here in the states not one, but as many as seven different pharmaceutical companies have agreed to mass produce as much as 250 million doses by mid-April. Given Dr. Raoult’s guidance in both of his studies this would give the globe enough inventory to cure 46,000,000 cases. Presently we have not yet hit one million cases worldwide. Notably Bayer, Novartis and Teva Pharm stepped up, pledging to donate several million doses right out of the shoot.
5. Doctors began prescribing off-label use and in doing so are replicating the clinical results in remarkable fashion. One doctor in Monroe, New York has treated in excess of 700 patients. As of this writing he’s lost zero patients to death, zero to intubation, and only two to hospitalization. Another doctor in New York City has treated in excess of 100 patients with zero deaths.
…
The Democrats, the media, and people who despise the President don’t want these trials to succeed…. (I dare say that includes smug sleaze, Dr. Fauci)

Hydroxychloroquine for the hospitals and doctors, chloroquine phosphate for the mosques.
LOL !!!
While the slow moving FDA worries if it works, France has already published papers illustrating a 97% efficiency of the malaria medicine and antibiotic combination. The 3% who died were well past any hope of recovery. It also appears to prevent infection in those without the virus.
People so ill that they will try anything should not be prevented from taking this. They are on a vector to die, so what harm can it do to allow them this combination? Keep them alive? Is that the problem?
Of Course Democrat dictators are against this drug. Israel is donating 6 million tablets to America!
This drug is also being used in several nations for people with mild, early onset, cases to help prevent the illness becoming severe, with some good success. It is said to work by keeping the virus from entering the lung cells where the virus would have reproduced.
Agreed. The NFL players must be taking it in addition to social distancing and getting ready for their 2020 season. There hasn’t been one single mention of any of them jailed for beating the crap out of their wife, girlfriend, or “baby mama”.
Well great, how do I get it?
From your doctor!
Why all the mass pandemonium what with panic buying and hoarding? This just helps demonstrate the doomsday imagings of the most shallow among us, as does so-called “climate change”.
Use an old flu cure I learned in the Seventh Fleet. Drink Seagram’s VO and water (singles, not double shots) until cured, usually overnight.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T VOTE INTO OFFICE “DEMOCRATS“. THEY ARE A DIRANGED SPECIES.
Floridians, thank the Lord you have this man as your governor. Yet again, a reminder that you really dodged a bullet when “progressive Democrat” Andrew Gillum barely lost the election.
