But then, of course, everyone would have to know right away when they get sick, which presents a different challenge. When you consider that not only do we have vaccines for the annual flu, but also treatments and we still have 30k-40k deaths per year from it, yeah it is a challenge.

>> But then, of course, everyone would have to know right away when they get sick This does require adjustment. The Zelenko Protocol, which is proven to be highly effective, requires a doctor visit as soon as symptoms are noticed, only in a pre-hospitalization setting. It recognizes that testing delays are a problem. You have five, maybe six days to get the patient started on the treatment. If you delay an appointment, then test and have to wait more than a day for a result, it doesn't work. So, he actually does a better thing, which is the key difference between this guy and what doctors in hospitals did in NYC. NYC doctors essentially told patients they weren't sick enough to be admitted; that they should go home until they're sicker, then come back. This simply gave the virus plenty of time to replicate to a point where it was unstoppable. Zelenko does the opposite: If it just looks like they have it, they get treated. The treatment protocol is entirely harmless, and a week later, they're back to normal. Given the rather exceptional safety record of the drug, those who need it get started pending test results. Here's Zelenko's own brief description of his protocol: "1. Any patient with shortness of breath is treated. 2. Any patient in a high-risk category with mild symptoms is treated. 3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated unless their circumstances change and they move into category (1) or (2). In almost all cases, their illness with self-resolve. The treatment given is: 200mg HCQ twice a day for five days. Azrithromycin 500mg daily for five days. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for five days." He goes on to say: "Since 3/15/20, my team has seen approximately 1354 patients in Monroe, NY with either test proven of clinically suspected infection. The majority of the patients were treated with only supportive care. The patients with shortness of breath or who are in the high risk category were treated with the above regimen (approximately 45 patients at this point). Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had two deaths, six hospitalizations for pneumonia, and four intubations (all extubated now). In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea..." This process could be carried out in downtown Houston at any hospital. The evening news should simply say, "If you have symptoms, here are the places you can go." Evaluation shouldn't take more than five minutes once you get through the line. No reason it couldn't be staffed 24/7. And the drugs can be dispensed as they walk out the door and are given a phone number to call if they don't get better. internetprotocol.co
