CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Interesting outcome of Clive Palmer’s move to boost HCQ use. He imported bulk quantities for use against Covid which he wanted to donate to the Federal Government. But he conditioned the donation on a sticker thanking Palmer for providing the HCQ which had to be attached to every box/dose. The Federal Govt instead publicly praised him but this wasn’t enough. Now thousands of doses are about to be destroyed rather than used to address health issues for which they were originally designed.

HCQ has some use in co-morbidities, provided diagnosis and treatment of an associated condition is completed early enough, so that is a hell of a waste!

I can see it wouldn't be donated to the 3rd world state as it may be sold off for profit as a COVID preventative / cure which it isn't. But there is evidence in tropical zones that if you get certain secondary bacterial infection or co-infection of something like Dengue or Malaria that some HCQ treatment could be of some use. However, because there are issues of liver and kidney damage it's not something they can just hand out, it has to be done in a suitable supervised environment. HCQ acts on the secondary infections, not Sars-CoV-2.
