Note: These were not cases of Covid-19 but a study of the outcomes of treatments using Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine on various patients done in 2017

"RESULTS:
Eighty-six articles were identified, reporting individual cases or short series, providing information on 127 patients (65.4% female). A majority of patients were treated with chloroquine (58.3%), with the remaining treated with hydroxychloroquine (39.4%), or both in succession. Most patients had been treated for a long time (median 7 years, minimum 3 days; maximum 35 years) and with a high cumulative dose (median 1235 g for hydroxychloroquine and 803 g for chloroquine). Conduction disorders were the main side effect reported, affecting 85% of patients. Other non-specific adverse cardiac events included ventricular hypertrophy (22%), hypokinesia (9.4%), heart failure (26.8%), pulmonary arterial hypertension (3.9%), and valvular dysfunction (7.1%). For 78 patients reported to have been withdrawn from treatment, some recovered normal heart function (44.9%), while for others progression was unfavorable, resulting in irreversible damage (12.9%) or death (30.8%)."

"We are troubled by reports that Mr. Kushner's actions — and those of outside advisers he has assembled and tasked — may be 'circumventing protocols that ensure all states' requests are handled appropriately,'" they wrote. "We are particularly troubled that Mr. Kushner's work may even involve 'directing FEMA and HHS officials to prioritize specific requests from people who are able to get Kushner on the phone." - Lawmakers

We Tend to Focus on the News Hog Liar King because, well, if news coverage was toilet paper he'd be

wrapped up in it like a mummy.

We need to see the heroes. We need to be reminded that there's lots of good in the world. Spectacular good in the every day acts of kind people and good leaders.
Amazing humans willing to give it all they've got because good matters.
We need to highlight the encouragers, the healers, the ones who make us laugh and the ones who warm our hearts. There are millions and millions of fantastic human beings going about their lives making the world better just for being here.

We don't know what tomorrow will bring. Even in the best of times, we don't really know. I want to live every day as a true human being, not a cheap imposter whose agenda is to make people believe that down is up and up is down. Being good at gaslighting doesn't make him an expert at anything else.

This too shall pass. We will pay a price. But it will pass. Look for the good.

America's "Wild West" tactics leave allies without needed medical supplies

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/allies-complain-u-s-wild-west-tactics-1.5522517

"Snip -

From Europe to South America, U.S. allies are complaining about the superpower's "Wild West" tactics in outbidding or blocking shipments to buyers who have already signed deals for vital medical supplies.

In France and Germany, senior officials said the United States was paying far above the market price for medical-grade masks, on occasion winning contracts through higher bids even after European buyers believed a deal was done, and Brazil's health minister reported a similar incident.

"Money is irrelevant. They pay any price because they are desperate," one high-level official in German Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling CDU/CSU group told Reuters."

Why is he buying up the world's medical supplies but getting mad at the governors for requesting them for dying people and for health care workers?

Why are businesses breaking contracts for him and leaving others in the world vulnerable?
The world is going to hate us when this is over.
