Where do you see that it was approved?

It wasn’t approved, but there is a compassionate-use exception that allows doctors to prescribe an approved drug to treat a (gravely ill?) patient with a condition other than the one the drug is approved for treatment of. Something like that.

I know someone who’s been on Chloroquine since Friday, May he have a full and speedy recovery.

This guy seems to pull numbers out of his hat. In a previous video he extrapolated that as much as 90% of the Orthodox community in Rockland county is infected, or something to that affect.

He also says he’s prescribed this to 100s of patients but he doesn’t say anything about their demographics, the extent of their symptoms, how long it’s been that they’re on the drug, or how they are doing. More data would be really interesting to see.

Israel postponed implementation of DST (or whatever you want to call it) by one month due to COVID-19.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What does diffuse ground glass opacity mean?
More importantly, is it something which would be a side effect of the drug or simply that it didn't help him?

300k/week sometime on the future is nothing. The world needs like 5m+/week of these now, not at some undetermined point in the future. The good news is there are other testing options that are ramping up production and the US should have 1m/week+ in testing capacity by the end of March.

This is with in regular circumstances we have double-blind controlled studies where a control group receives a placebo, so we have what to compare against in a large sample size.

He himself has been doing tele medicine, since he wisely quarantined himself and family in monsey, before the epidemic became so widespread.
I have no idea how he extrapolated a 90% rate in kiryas joel, in one of his videos based on 14 tests with 9 positives.

Glad I’m not the only one who heard it and thought it’s pulling it out of his @$$. You quoted it more accurately than me.

It could be he knew that those 9 people exposed the whole community.

His test came back after that video was released. But some of his close people tested positive earlier.

Impossible to “know” that. He would have to know when they got infected, when they’d be most likely to shed, everywhere they went when they were spreading it, and who else was there and how close they got to the 9 vectors. Impossible.
