Man Dies, Wife Critical From Chloroquine After Hearing Trump Tout

[Sirthinksalot]

Sad, but when you start out with a lie, compound it with insults and then don't even answer the question, you clearly define yourself, sir. Sad.

Womp, womp. Dutch oven got his ass handed to him and skulked away. If you asked the question, you must have a "correct" answer in mind. What is the dollar value of a life, Dutch oven? Share your answer, unless your "question" was some sort of third rate attempt at a trap.

The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings during which President Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine. Even though no drugs are approved to prevent or treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, some early research suggests it may be useful as a therapy.

"We were afraid of getting sick."

The name "chloroquine" resonated with the man's wife, who asked that her name not be used to protect the family's privacy. She'd used it previously to treat her koi fish.

"I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, 'Hey, isn't that the stuff they're talking about on TV?'"

The couple — both in their 60s and potentially at higher risk for complications of the virus — decided to mix a small amount of the substance with a liquid and drink it as a way to prevent the coronavirus.

"We were afraid of getting sick," she said.

Within 20 minutes, both became extremely ill, at first feeling "dizzy and hot."

"I started vomiting," the woman told NBC News. "My husband started developing respiratory problems and wanted to hold my hand."

She called 911. The emergency responders "were asking a lot of questions" about what they'd consumed. "I was having a hard time talking, falling down."

Shortly after he arrived at the hospital, her husband died.

The dumbass ate fish tank cleaner. I think you should too!

Dead. That’s a significantly different clinical status than the rest of the group, isn’t it, fucktard?

How profound. Your attempt to discredit the study based on a fucking comment is laughable. Sometimes people suffering from life threatening diseases die. You clearly still haven't read the actual study. Did you like the comment I left? Since you put so much stock in THE FUCKING COMMENTS. Clown.

I am giving the actual documented path that this person took as listed in the story you provided and giving an educated opinion on the circumstances and actual specialness of the self-victimized idiot.

If you have not noticed by now, you are one of the small minority of posters I have zero interest in reading or responding to. Do me a favor and either don't read my posts, disregard me, or put me on ignore

Call it what you like dude, but I disagree on both your lies and your claims of any victories....but I can see why you would relish having one. Thanks for admitting you dodged the questions and have no answer.

Just so we're clear, you're the one who put a dollar value on American lives by putting the economy over those lives. The Republican point of view of "all life is sacred" yet obviously they are putting a dollar value on that "sacred life". I'm just trying to figure out the dollar amount of an American citizen's life. Since you put the economy over American lives, I thought you'd know.

Hello Sirthinksalot,

So the economic impact shouldn't be considered at all?

That consideration was already overplayed by the prez. He made a poor decision.

Now, we have damage-control to do because the prez didn't take prudent proactive measures. Precious time was lost.

Got it. Let's just require all commerce to shut down and everyone to stay inside their homes for the next 365 days.

Nobody has proposed that extreme.

That way we could be sure to stop the spread, right? Anything less shows that you value "the almighty dollar" over human life.

Total exaggeration.

There is obviously a balance to be struck between economic impact and public health.

That is exactly what is occurring.

As far as using a drug that is already approved to treat one indication to treat a different indication, it is far safer than approving a brand new drug. ... NYC is expected to have peak outbreak in less than a month. How many valuable American lives might be lost without an effective treatment?

Real case tests are already being conducted. We just have to await the results. It would be foolish to administer a treatment that might be worse than the disease. First, do no harm. Doctors have a history of moving too fast with new procedures, clinging to wrong therapies. They used to bleed sick people. When X-Rays became available, they used them on pregnant women, causing birth defects. You can't blame today's doctors for being properly cautious.

Thanks for demonstrating that you're far more interested in scoring political points than finding solutions to problems. Hallmark of a Democrat.

That's just meaningless stereotyping.

We have to be careful in these trying times to protect our psyche.

This is a very bad thing that is happening to our world. This can lead to depression and great sadness. There is a logical tendency to take out frustrations on other people. That urge should be avoided.

Does it feel good to tell somebody off?

Well, yes, for the moment. But does it last? No. It is a short-term high. Kind of like a sugar-buzz.

The problem is that when we are feeling bad, telling somebody off may make us feel better in the moment, but it has the opposite effect in the long run when people look back at how they acted and realize it is nothing to be proud of.

Protect your own mind by protecting the feelings of others.

Be considerate. Be kind to others and you will be being kind to yourself in the long run.

This virus is going to be with us for a long time.

Eventually we will beat it. There will be a safe vaccine, we will get our world back. Until then, things are going to be different, challenging.

We need to look at this in the larger sense. See the big picture, pace yourself through this.

We are just getting started in facing the new reality for the foreseeable future.

Keep your inner peace.

We shall prevail.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Playing semantic word games does not cut the mustard.

The Orange Hog touted, promoted, championed, recommended, endorsed (take your pick) chloroquine.

No he did not you brain dead, low IQ lying leftist hack on steroids.

 

[Truth Detector]

trump has no business touting a drug that's untested for Covid 19.

He didn't you dumb, repugnant, ugly, low IQ, lying leftist hack on steroids.

That way we could be sure to stop the spread, right? Anything less shows that you value "the almighty dollar" over human life. Your disingenuous question is moronic. Let me ask you a question. If you could travel back in time and kill Hitler when he was a baby would you do it?

Your mention of the risk of treatment is just plain moronic. Anyone who the treatment is being tested on is already at risk of dying from the virus itself. Get better at debating, troll.

Thank goodness a fool like you isn't in charge of our country. There is obviously a balance to be struck between economic impact and public health. If you can't wrap your brain around that, you have my pity. If you're just being disingenuous, you have my contempt.

As far as using a drug that is already approved to treat one indication to treat a different indication, it is far safer than approving a brand new drug. If you weren't an utter moron you would know that. If you were one quarter as smart as you think you are, you'd know that it can take years to approve a drug that's already on the market for a new indication. Do we have a year to find a way to treat Covid-19 patients, DU-h? NYC is expected to have peak outbreak in less than a month. How many valuable American lives might be lost without an effective treatment? Thanks for demonstrating that you're far more interested in scoring political points than finding solutions to problems. Hallmark of a Democrat.

Of course, double down on being disingenuous. Please point out what lies I've told. Please use direct quotes of my posts as examples. I'll understand if you can't. Your question was a ham handed attempt at a trap question. Each human life is worth 100 trillion dollars. We should be willing to tank the entire global economy if it saves a single life. Seriously dude, answer your own question, if it was a real question and not a piss poor attempt at a trap question. What dollar value do you place on a human life? Your unwillingness to answer your own question proves my point.

Just so we're clear, you're the one who put a dollar value on American lives by putting the economy over those lives. The Republican point of view of "all life is sacred" yet obviously they are putting a dollar value on that "sacred life". I'm just trying to figure out the dollar amount of an American citizen's life. Since you put the economy over American lives, I thought you'd know.

Just so we're clear, no I didn't put a dollar value on human life. Even though you asked me to, in clownish fashion. And now you're salty that your weak debate tactic didn't work. Pointing out that there needs to be a balance between protecting health and protecting the economy is not "putting the economy over American lives" nor is it putting a dollar value on life. Your assertion is a distortion that would only be made by a person who knows he's losing the argument. Oh, and as far as your sacred life crap, I'm in favor of abortion rights, always have been. Don't try to paint me with your blah blah Republicans crap.

Are you going to answer your own question, or do you admit it was just a sophomoric attempt at a "trap question"?

Bullshit. When you put the economy over the safety of millions of Americans, you are, regardless if you admit it or not, putting a dollar value on American lives.

You mean like wrecking the economy?

That is not putting a dollar value on human life. I'd say nice try, but it wasn't. Saying that the economic impact of policy should be considered is not as you say "putting a dollar value on life". I ask again, what is the dollar value that YOU place on human life? Your unwillingness to answer your own question shows that it was a disingenuous question, intended to be a trap or maybe a deflection. But feel free to hang onto it like a dog with a bone. You look foolish.

Disagreed since you are putting money over life by virtue of putting the economy over lives. Are you saying you're saving lives by putting the economy over medicine?

Still refusing to provide an answer to your own inane question, huh? Not at all surprised. What is the dollar value that YOU would put on a human life?

I have taken your measure, and find you lacking.

I don't know the answer. You're the one who put a price on human life. I simply asked you what that price was and you had a conniption. Sad.
