Except those precautions are at least two orders of magnitude less than the case fatality rate for coronavirus infection.
Equivalently, there are scenarios where a seatbelt can decapitate you or trap you in a drowning car. But you'd still be a fool to drive without one, because buckling is a thousand times more likely to save you than kill you.
- jcrubino 7y agoYou missed the point. The most serious cases of COVID-19 affect all the people who have the underlying conditions that have precautions listed using H-Chloroquine. That makes the normal ICU case of COVID-19 more difficult (time consuming) to manage because now you have to spend time managing / monitoring: The condition, COVID-19, the side effects of H-Chloroquine on vital body systems already impaired, already being attacked by COVID. Throw the magnitude two out the window like a lucky car crash victim while these patients suffer the crash in the hospital. Not even Bernie was going to pay for the specialty concierge care needed to manage such a patient and yet you some how assume that is how it works.
