Hospitals have been rushing to stockpile a decades-old antimalarial drug touted by President Donald Trump and others as a treatment for the new coronavirus.Hydroxychloroquine is being snapped up by medical systems at more than twice the typical pace as U.S. hospitals seek to build large inventories in anticipation of the medication’s potential use in patients with Covid-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus.From March 1 through March 17, U.S. hospitals bought an average of 16,110 units of hydroxychloroquine, compared with an average 8,800 units a month from January 2019 through February 2020, according to Premier Inc., which helps 4,000 member hospitals buy and manage their supplies.
National Boycotts is urging the Trump administration to post the latest breakthroughs on the successful treatments.
The national and world economies are shutting down. A state-induced Great Depression threatens to place many 20 – 60 year olds on the streets in the next week. That state is funded by your tax dollars–the same dollars you store value within when you interact with them as both a worker and a consumer.
Yet we are getting no daily reports on our best hope to fix this problem: hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
– What hospitals have received shipments of the H&A drug combo?
– Are the H&A drugs in transit now?
– How much H&A drugs per each hospital are being delivered?
– We know what factories are producing the H&A drug combo. But do they need to hire extra workers to ramp up supply? If yes, where are the job listings?
– How many patients are being treated with H&A now?
– How many are being cured?
– What are the patient’s daily viral loads?
– Where are the databases for this information? If none exist, will they create one immediately? (A simple online spreadsheet will suffice.)
Start demanding answers. Our livelihoods are at stake. Your tax dollars and votes are inducing this.
Make them answer. Spread this message. This level of economic shutdown is unprecedented.
