Democrats and the media (Sorry for repeating myself) have both been deriding the value of hydroxychloroquine and calling President Trump a snake oil salesman for promoting the drug.
But in Texas at a nursing home, 80 staff members and patients came down with DTMNBN. (Disease That Must Not Be Named)
Dr. Robin Armstrong immediately began treating them with hydroxychloroquine along with Zpac or Zinc. Of the 80 patients, 79 survived which is miraculous since most residents of nursing homes have at least one underlying condition, while many have two or more.
6,000 doctors worldwide say that the treatment administered by Dr Armstrong was the most promising. The media has been deriding the president for naming the treatment as a breakthrough.
Michigan state Representative, Karen Whitsett was near death when she begged to give her hydroxychloroquine and it saved her life. She even thanked President Trump for saving her life. She did not endorse his reelection campaign, she merely thanked him. For that, the Democrats want to censure her.
Nancy Pelosi says that President Trump is showing no leadership on the DTMNBN epidemic. But he is in Washington, working everyday on every phase of the crisis, while Miss Nancy is at home stuffing her mouth with Haagen Daz. That’s leadership?
FOX7 Austin reported:
Dr. Armstrong and others at the Resort at Texas City Nursing home knew time wasn’t on their side.
“Two of our residents had symptoms and that’s when we tested everybody,” said nursing home Executive Director Jan Piveral.
56 residents and 33 staff members were COVID-19 positive.
“Our Goal was to make sure we could shelter them in place so we don’t spread it to other people,” Armstrong said. “Then also at the same time treat them so they would get better.”
Armstrong says he knew residents who ended up in the hospital had a higher mortality rate.
“Our goal was to keep them here and treat them with the medications we had available,” he said.
When Armstrong began administering Hydroxychloroquine to it was controversial but appeared promising.
“If we didn’t make the decision quickly then we could potentially lose 15 to 20% of the residents which was not an option,” said the Doctor.
Armstrong’s approach was to begin administering Hydroxychloroquine a Zpac and Zinc just as soon as a resident first started showing symptoms.
The patients were being monitored daily.
“We did EKGs on each of these patients to make sure they didn’t have the cardiac side effects that everyone talks about,” Armstrong said. “None of our patients did.”
Armstrong doesn’t call the Hydroxychloroquine a cure and is aware of all the recent reports that say the drug shouldn’t be used to treat COVID-19.
But he points out only one of the nursing homes COVID-19 patients has died.
“Everyone who got on treatment who started on treatment is actually doing really well,” he said.
