Trending In The Wrong Direction

The chart, shown below, shows that the number of deaths as a fraction of infections is clearly dramatically increasing.  One would think that after some weeks of experience with COVID-19, the data would reflect a downward trend in the number of fatalities, not so.

While the CDC, and others, resists to embrace the use of drugs not specifically designed for this nasty virus, people are dying at an increasing number.  Why is it that other countries have much better outcomes, following infections?  The US claims all along that it has the best medical system in the world, when is it going to live up to its perceived ranking?

“Another Doctor Reports Dramatic Improvement In COVID-19 Patients Using Trump-Touted Treatment”

“As pro-establishment mouthpieces downplay the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 as "anecdotal" with "little evidence that the treatment is effective," yet another doctor treating has claimed dramatic improvement in coronavirus patients within hours of taking the anti-malaria drug in combination with two other medications.

Los Angeles doctor Anthony Cardillo says he's seen very promising results when the Trump-touted drug is combined with zinc for severely-ill coronavirus patients.

""Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free," Cardillo told Eyewitness News, adding "So clinically I am seeing a resolution.""

""Cardillo, CEO of Mend Urgent Care, says that the drug must be used in conjunction with Zinc, as the hdroxycholoroquine opens a 'channel' for the mineral to enter cells and prevent the virus from replicating.”"

For example, South Korea's death-toll is about 19 deaths per 1000 infections, whereas the US suffers of late (April 6th) 367 deaths per 1000 infections.   Taiwan shows 13 deaths per 1000 infections.  There are others that also fair much better than the US.

What are South Korea and others doing that the US should also be doing, once an infection is identified?

  1. It takes people a few weeks to die, so as long as cases are in an initial exponential rise, deaths will lag at first, then begin their own rise. Also, who gets tested affects this, because if you only test people who are sick, you will find that more of them die.
    Hydroxychloroquine and zinc, with or without azithromycin, and make sure your EKG is normal first, to avoid sudden cardiac death risks.
