| An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus (COVID-19) |
| 2020-03-17 |
| h/t Instapundit Recent guidelines from South Korea and China report that chloroquine is an effective antiviral therapeutic treatment against Coronavirus Disease 2019. Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay. US CDC research shows that chloroquine also has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure against coronavirus in the lab, while we wait for a vaccine to be developed. Chloroquine is an inexpensive, globally available drug that has been in widespread human use since 1945 against malaria, autoimmune and various other conditions. |

| #9 Gin, tonic (real tonic) & lime seems to help my muscle cramps when I work outside in NE Texas in the summer. If there are negative effects I have not noticed them (that may be the effect of the gin...) |

| #7 FWIW, a couple people I knew got a little high from it. Not me. That's why I dilute mine with copious amounts of Tito's Vodka, ice, and a splash of lime. Kills the scurvy, too |

| #6 I gather it isn't much use against most malaria strains anymore. FWIW, a couple people I knew got a little high from it. Not me. |

| #4 Vodker 'n' tonic ... sounds good. Where have I heard that before? [Verse 1 - Goobye When are you Globalists gonna come down? When are you going to land? You should have stayed on the farm Should have listened to OrangeMan You know you can't hold it forever We didn't sign up with you It's not a present for your friends to open This country's too young to be singing the blues [Chorus] So goodbye yer Global Grift Road Where the dogs of the Davos-scum howl You can't plant us in your shithouse We're going back to our plough Back to the virtues of Made in US To hell with your bat soup & toad Oh, we've finally decided our future lies Beyond the Global Grift Road [Chorus] What do you think you'll do then? I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodker and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty of them to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tit-bits like you on the ground [Chorus] So goodbye yer Global Grift Road Where the dogs of the Davos-scum howl You can't plant us in your shithouse We're going back to our plough Back to the virtues of Made in US To hell with your bat soup & toad Oh, we've finally decided our future lies Beyond the Global Grift Road |
