Texas Nursing Home: Media Ignores Good News.

With Sarah Hoyt's shocked face!
Texas nursing home, The Resort, generated all manner of concern-troll headlines and scare-mongering articles almost a month ago by treating its patients with the hydroxychloroquine cocktail. Good news was reported last week. Where are the follow-up articles?
Let’s start with the good news via one local Austin station.
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.
Dr. Armstrong probably underestimated the percentage of residents he could have lost. We are seeing now that close to 50% of the deaths from the Wuhan Bat Lab Virus have come from nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, close to 40% in Texas alone.
However, because of Dr. Armstrong’s decision to put his residents health ahead of political considerations, and taking care to carefully monitor his residents reaction to the drug cocktail, including administering EKGs, only one resident died out of the 56 residents who tested positive. As tragic as that one death, it could have easily been 22.
Anecdotal! The scare-mongers will shout. Of course it is. When faced with the prospect of losing 30-40% of the people entrusted into his care, would anyone accept it if the residents were randomized so half got placebos and likely have 8 to 11 of them died instead of one?
...Let’s review some of the media malfeasance on this issue.
AP: Nursing home patients trying unproven virus drug in Texas
AP April 6, 2020.
Galveston County health officials announced last week that more than 80 residents and staff members at The Resort at Texas City tested positive for COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. Abbott said many of the patients given hydroxychloroquine were in their second day of treatment.
President Donald Trump has promoted the drug as he grasps for ways to sound hopeful in the face of a mounting death toll and with the worst weeks yet to come for the U.S. But medical officials warn that it’s dangerous to be hawking unproven remedies, and even Trump’s own experts have cautioned against it.
And that's kids why we call it "The Great State of Texas". I'm sure lots of Docs gave HCQ to their patients - on a QT so is not to be arrested.
As of today, I see no update on this article or a link to an update.
