There are doctors so worried about how controversial HCQ is that they won't prescribe and instead are prescribing levaquin just to get a quinoline based medicine into peoples bodies. Its insanity.
What is insanity is that you've gone so far around the bend you actually think that is true. Some chiropractor tell you this? That would make some sense.
An ICU nurse that deals with covid patients told me that's what they are doing.
What evidence shows that levaquin is effective?
You do realize that although the fatality rate overall may only be marginally worse in the general population that since there are no vaccines for Covid, in contrast to influenza, the number of high risk individuals getting infected and dying is still going to result in a much greater death toll than for seasonal influenza. But that's ok, right?
So why not azithromycin or Biaxin? Doesn't it seem odd that their first choice would be levaquin if the whole point is to prevent bacterial pnuemonia?

DOJ Requests COVID-19 Data From Four Democrat Governors who Issued Orders to Send
You are wasting your time. A subset of the population would rather read the Russian Times than learn about population health. Remember when people screamed "death panals" because Obama wanted to reimburse clinicians when they discussed end of life care with patients? Now that party doesn't care about >180K deaths/6 months. And they really don't care about the elderly, disabled, and immunosuppressed. You can also add the obese and those with type 2 DM. There should be robust arguments about how to balance population health safety and the economy. However, there is not one legitimate argument that there is some kind of world-wide conspiracy against Trump and his supporters....take COVID out of it and just look at deaths regardless of cause - huge increase in 2020 based on yearly averages
I absolutely agree with it. I'm just saying that its very unlikely that an elected official is going to be held criminally liable unless they find something extremely nefarious behind the decision making process. I'm not even sure that we want civil suits over this. That could lead to all kinds of chaos in the court system.
Not a perfect analogy but I agree with what you're saying. I'm just a little bit concerned about the kind of precedent it might set if these governors are charged criminally. Think about what that might lead to in things like hurricane response decisions. A governor knows its coming, people might die, and now knowing that they might be criminally charged how does that affect their decision making? Unless the threat is a known quantity it just has to come down to a judgment call. These governors most likely just made very poor judgment calls and should be held accountable for that at the ballot box, not in court unless they knew their actions were definitely going to lead to unnecessary deaths.
What if someone dies while evacuating and then the hurricane doesn't make landfall? A person could make the case that someone died that didn't need to and make the case for a criminal charge. No, its not a perfect analogy, but we've seen time and again how the slippery slope really does exist.
Just to be clear, If I'm sitting on a jury, you wouldn't have to work very hard to convince me. I definitely think that in this circumstance these governors should be charged with reckless endangerment. I'm just a little concerned with where that would lead.
Deaths (all cause) above historical averages
Very conservative #s as data include Jan-March when C-19 deaths were minimal
a lot more humans seem to be dying in 2020
