rawstory.com “Medical toxicologists and emergency physicians are warning the public against the use of inappropriate medications and household products to prevent or treat COVID-19. In particular, Banner Health experts emphasize that chloroquine, a malaria medication, should not be ingested to treat or prevent this virus,” reported the Banner Health system. “Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, who works at Banner’s Poison and Drug Information Center as medical director. “The last thing that we want right now is to inundate our emergency departments with patients who believe they found a vague and risky solution that could potentially jeopardize their health.” The man who died was in his 60s and his wife is in critical condition after both of them ingested chloroquine phosphate. The chemical is an additive frequently used to clean fish tanks, though it is unclear if that’s how they obtained it. While they may sound the same, chloroquine is different from hydroxychloroquine as the latter is a less toxic derivative of chloroquine. There have been numerous chloroquine overdoses in Nigeria the wake of Trump’s comments. “We are strongly urging the medical community to not prescribe this medication to any non-hospitalized patients,” said Dr. Brooks.

If we could somehow mass produce antibodies directly like we produce insulin, that would be nice... ....as I said, that's essentially what this company plans to do.......monoclonal antibody production.......somehow islolated from the prior work on SARS I think.....directly given to a patient already with the virus..............if it works on a few hundred test cases.........crank out millions of doses...............claims it is "possible" by Sept.......why it disappeared from CNBC web site is beyond me.........it was the only spot that woke me up from my stupor. .....102 cases in Dutchess now...........first one was on 3/13........it's a jungle out there
