Sports without a bubble will not work, but the MLB, NCAA and NFL are too stubborn.

That’s likely possible.abloom wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 8:32 amYour relatives likely have no basis to know if it is effective or not. True tests look at large scale populations with and without treatment hopefully with patients at a variety of severity of covid19 infections. The majority of studies so far have lacked these standards and that is why there is significant disagreement between studies.azthecrow wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 7:39 amThank you for that informationabloom wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 7:12 am
It's simple. There are conflicting studies. Some show that hydroxychloroquine has no benefit, others show it has some benefit, and others show that it can actually be detrimental. For a brief synopsis with additional links to primary articles feel free to read

I have relatives in Imperial County, CA where there is a significant outbreak and they have told me that hydroxychloroquine is being prescribed and effective there. I have been able to avoid the virus to this point but am interested in the various ways that it is being treated.
Glad to here you are asymptomatic. The 14 day bubble is tough. My family just emerged after an exposure with a positive case.wickerkat1212 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 4:54 pm
I think we're on the same page here. I've been home for four months. Haven't left the house except to pick up groceries at Target, take a walk with the dog, or pick up a prescription at Walgreens. I tested positive two days ago. My wife and kids tested negative. I don't know how I got it. Grocery delivery? Wife a carrier (she went to three stores one day, with mask). Luckily I'm asymptomatic. Seems to be a mild case. But I don't know what the long-term effects will be.
I think it's too late for that. The NFL is stuck with what they have got at this point.
I was listening to the Ringer NFL show with Kevin Clark (I believe it was the Washington episode with Lindsay Jones) and they included a comment in passing in there that floored me. I don't know how valid it is - I've not seen it properly reported - but according to them, the inside word is that the Owners deliberately waited until the 11th hour in order to have the leverage.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:34 pm The NFL had so much time, and they still think they are going to have fans. Says it all. They will fail really badly with this plan, IMO. Not sure a bubble would have worked for football, for a full season. A shortened season would have been better for the NFL, for sure. But it looks like MLB is not going to finish, and the NFL should be very worried.

I think the 2 biggest issues with this is, it's not a study, just as we have an asymptomatic member (writing above) there is no proof the drug actually did anything. (Similar to the statement I've never been in a car accident because I stop at every stop sign, prove to me that the 2 occurrences have any correlation). Secondly, the doctor stated that the treatment has to begin within the 1st 5 days, while testing results taking longer the opportunity to begin treatment in poor.azthecrow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 6:41 am I found this article about a physician in Imperial County, CA using hydroxychloroquine.

My biggest take from it is that there is no negative side effects. I thought that was very positive to read about the 50+ years of use of it with no major problems.millworkguy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 11:55 amI think the 2 biggest issues with this is, it's not a study, just as we have an asymptomatic member (writing above) there is no proof the drug actually did anything.

Also remember he is making his own cocktails, how do you determine which of the drugs he gave is the 1 leading to the desired outcome. Like drinking 6 different brands of beers in an evening, and them claiming you know which one of them made you drunk, and therefore never wanting to drink that brand again.
For 49 years, it has been used for 1 thing, only recently did that change. Also he doesn't say how many people he has done this for.azthecrow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 1:08 pmMy biggest take from it is that there is no negative side effects.

Also, the negative light cast from media outlets for no reason is disappointing if it can actually help some people.
For those that value education he is highly educated and has been a professor. So I don’t think it’s like he’s just mixing up drinks as he goes without tracking what works and what doesn’t. I took it as very positive information overall.
What I'm trying to say, is that as a cocktail, the doctor is assuming which drug is having the positive effect (and are the drugs responsible for the positive effect) Just like drinking vodka and orange juice, and learning it's high in vitamin C, and assuming vodka must be good for you. To me, there are too many variables that he didn't isolate before stating a conclusionazthecrow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:17 pm ^ Well, I guess it’s a perception thing. Glass half empty or half full. I thought it was good news but you don’t see it that way. I hope maybe some others can get something positive from it. I certainly will talk to my doctor and consider it if the virus comes my way.
Appreciate your comments
