Question about Immunosuppressive Cocktails for COVID-19?

[blogslut]

This mix the president raves about, well...

I heard some doctor on tv (so many doctors on tv) remark in passing about the progression of his COVID-19 cases. He said something like, "...and then we'll treat them with a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc to try and manage the cytokine storms..."

Is that what this cocktail is intended for? To treat patients whose immune systems have gone haywire, i.e., cytokine storm syndrome? Is that what he and other blockheads don't get?

The cocktail isn't meant to be a preventative or a curative but rather an emergency treatment to keep your body's immune system from killing you. Am I wrong about this?

1. You are not wrong. The cytokines storm is what is usually the final straw that causes the

Lungs to overfill with white blood cells trying a final gasp to overtake
the CV-19.

2. steroids are indicated for cytokine storms.

3. And usually they are calling for Loads of Zinc

But the drug Remdesivir is the new go to drug.

Remdesivir is now being tested in five Covid-19 clinical trials that have been set up at breakneck speed. It’s been delivered through a compassionate use program to some patients, including the first case in the United States. The first trial results are expected next month, though some analysts have already raised concerns about the prospects based on the drips of data emerging from a small number of patients.

Not hydrochloroquine.

4. I guess what I'm trying to say is

That orange bastard has fools and ghouls tossing these very damaging drugs out like candy when they're not preventative or curative. They are emergency drugs for emergency situations.

Like, I think you were implying above, by the time a patient starts having cytokine storms, they're basically doomed?

5. Unless they have someone there to suction constantly, yes.

And then there aren’t any guarantees. Tragic and so awful.

6. Thank you for being patient with me

I want to scream all the time. Instead, I just cry.
