The FDA has just approved hydroxychloriquine plus azithromycin for treatment of hospitalized patients only. Saw it on national news (ABC) a few minutes ago, so it can't be fake news.

Well, the Sham Bagh drama is over and everyone was sent home - though some still protested and a crowd of stone pelters did collect for possible confrontation briefly. This time the police were in no mood for niceties and everyone just decided to let it go. This might be one opportunity to 'clean ho...

We've all used Chloroquine in India before we moved Westward. I agree, Indians probably have enough experience with the medication. One thing people are forgetting is that it is given over a very short period, about five days, which is less than what we give routinely for common infections even. How...

Q to docs: Is there some concern about lasting lung damage, even if one survives? Not a pulmonologist, but here it is Murthy Ji. I had posted this news from Hong Kong several pages back.

The more fatal a virus is, the less chance to spread. The most successful viruses are found embedded in human DNA, in every cell, passed down in all humans. Their dna is inactivated and does nothing.

There is one cause for concern still. Listening to some podcasts by people who are better informed than I am.

In a different life, my mentor was a renowned epidemiologist and I did publish some work with him. The problem with all data is the lack of any means of verification.

One other report of concern, this is about patients who recover from the infection - they may have a lung capacity that is reduced by 20-30% leading to gasping when walking briskly. This is said to be due to residual fibrosis. What the report does not mention is whether these patients had been on a ...

Witness how quiet UP has become under YA. I also believe had the BJP won the elections in Delhi, this rioting may not have happened.

I was asked why I think Muslims mobilise so quickly 1. Conviction - underlying everything is a strong conviction that killing and destroying unbelievers is what God wants.
