It has recommed against it till evidence comes in fuckwad. Were you a product of the famous brother-sister love in USA that you did not read the news about ICMR?
The ICMR chief recommended not to use HCQs till evidences come in. Before that ICMR was only saying that HCQ usage is unproven. They don't issue advisory against its use. Now they have changed their stance, "recommendation against its use till it's proven to be effective"
This is a huge deal in medical stance/parlance. Since you are a google taught expert, you are too stupid to know the difference.
In a democratic forum some people like to take their clothes off in public ......….to make a fool of themselves(not you).That's ok . We have the last laugh!

No, previously they didn't take any stand on it. Now they have explicitly recommend against it. If you are too dense to understand the difference, it is not my problem

Are you stupid. I don't want this to fail. I am only against the mass hysteria about HCQ to stop before it's even proven scientifically.
Let the trial results come in first, then let's take it. This is not the time for quackery to blindly take a drug with unproven effects.

Yes.... we can read your posts. You want it to fail. You can't even wait for the trials to be over and have already declared it a failure. HCQ is not unproven - it has been around for a long time and its safety, efficacy and toxicity is well understood. Don't embarrass yourself further.
We have vascular surgeon ,but planned surgeries are not being done now sir. Better let me find the best vascular surgeon in Hyderabad and get back to you .

Maybe it is you who is the most dense here.
Well, it all depends ,now, on the clinical trials ,to determine how effective this line of treatment is.
The nice thing is: it doesn't really matter what "YagamiLight" - or anyone else here - wants.
We also need to keep a rheumatologist in loop.The only problem is OPD are closed.
Thankyou so much. Actually I was worried. I had an episode of TIA today itself and that too in my village.
Not a big deal if you your doctor's accept treatment protocols from doctors of other institutions. Infact my doctor mr. Vikas Agarwal would keep in touch if you guys don't mind.
Let me enquire and I will get back to you on Monday.
I don't think that the treating doctor will have an issue speaking to your primary consultant. It's better if they both can speak before the surgery
Well,my personal opinion is that the reaction to the pandemic has been just as much about US-China superpower rivalry as to how dangerous the virus actually is.
China has four time the population of the US and was set to overtake the US nominal GDP by the end of the decade ,under their current course, and the country has been making rapid technological advances in Artificial Intelligence(AI), mobile phones, semiconductors and jet engines.
From the perspective of the leaders of the United States crashing globalism and resetting,retooling and restructuring the US economy,industry and military to deal with the threat of a rising China has a brutal logic to it.
So ,when this is all over , who will come out of this stronger and what will the world look like ?

Anti-parasitic drug said to 'kill' COVID-19 cells
Australia's Monash University needs funding to further research effectiveness, safety of drug against coronavirus
Scientists in Australia have found that an anti-parasitic drug available on the market “can kill” the growing cell culture of the deadly coronavirus within 48 hours.
However, researchers say the drug cannot be used in humans for COVID-19 until further testing and clinical trials prove its safety and effectiveness.
“Scientists showed that a single dose of the drug, Ivermectin, could stop the SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] virus growing in cell culture,” said a statement by Melbourne-based Monash University, where the research is based.

Vietnam challenges China's monopoly on virus diplomacy
HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam is challenging China’s dominance of coronavirus diplomacy with the donation of medical supplies to Europe and Southeast Asia and even winning plaudits from U.S. President Donald Trump for a shipment of protective suits.

China is looking to burnish its credentials as a responsible power by sharing expertise and donating masks and other protective equipment to countries seeing a surge in cases and to repair an image dented by the disease that originated there late last year.
Vietnam, despite its lack of resources compared with its giant neighbour, has donated 550,000 face masks to France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Britain, and 390,000 to neighbouring Cambodia and 340,000 to another neighbour, Laos.
It has also capitalised on the U.S. government’s purchase of 450,000 made-in-Vietnam DuPont hazmat suits by expediting the shipment of the protective equipment, and using it to highlight its medical donations in public statements and state media.
Trump thanked “our friends in Vietnam” on Thursday for that shipment.
Helped by a mass quarantine and aggressive contact-tracing, Vietnam’s health ministry has recorded 255 cases of the novel coronavirus and no deaths.
Vu Duc Dam, a deputy prime minister who has been widely praised for his role in leading the campaign against the coronavirus, said on Monday the outbreak was under control.
The next day, state media showed photos of European ambassadors receiving boxes of masks from Vietnam’s foreign ministry in a ceremony showcasing the donation.
“Vietnam appears to have gained in confidence by managing to deal successfully with the coronavirus,” said Carl Thayer, an expert in Vietnam’s diplomacy at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.
“While Vietnam is bracing itself against a second wave of the virus it is also beginning to look ahead to a revival of economic activity,” Thayer said.
Key to spurring that activity will be a much-anticipated EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), said Thayer, which Vietnam’s rubber stamp National Assembly will ratify later this month.
AID ‘WHERE IT COUNTS’
There are now 40 firms producing 7 million fabric masks a day in Vietnam, the government said on Thursday. An additional 5.72 million surgical masks can be produced daily, it said.
Vietnam is not the only country keen to show that it is able to offer its support to the world, however.
Taiwan, which China claims as its sacred territory and locks out of most global organisations, is donating 16 million masks, mostly to Europe and the United States, earning the diplomatically isolated island rare prominence on the world stage.
The government of Taiwan, which like Vietnam has managed to keep its tally of coronavirus cases low, with just five deaths, has not drawn a direct link between its virus diplomacy and that of China, but has been keen to show how “Taiwan can help”, especially as it can make more than 13 million masks a day.
South Korea has also won attention for its campaign against the virus and on Thursday it hosted an online presentation outlining its containment measures for about 400 health officials and experts from 13 countries, including the United States, Mexico, and Italy.
“We’ve been getting requests from many countries for us to share our know-how,” a South Korean foreign ministry official told Reuters.
Vietnam has also not explicitly compared its virus diplomacy to China’s but it was quick to send supplies to old allies Laos and Cambodia, where its influence has waned in recent years while China’s has surged.
Even though Vietnam needs similar equipment in its own efforts against the virus, it has made donations to neighbours with large Vietnamese communities “on the basis of traditional friendship and relations”, foreign ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang told Reuters.
Vietnam could also be pushing the quality of its medical supplies in light of mounting returns to China of faulty equipment, said Thayer.
Vietnam’s biggest listed firm, Vingroup, said last week it would start producing up to 55,000 ventilators a month, including for foreign markets.
“Vietnam cannot hope to match China in the volume and dollar value of its aid but Vietnam can provide assistance where it counts,” said Thayer.

On Russian border, China scrambles to contain coronavirus influx
BEIJING (Reuters) - A small Chinese city on the border with Russia is mounting an increasingly urgent defence against a surge of new coronavirus cases even as crowds return to restaurants and shops in much of the rest of the country.

Suifenhe in China’s far northeastern Heilongjiang province has seen an influx of Chinese people returning home, many infected with the virus, travelling by road from the Russian far eastern city of Vladivostok after flying there from Moscow.
Russia halted all flights into China from Feb. 14 and it closed its land border to incoming traffic from China in January. That means the route through remote Suifenhe is one of only a few options for many Chinese people trying to get home.
On Thursday, Suifenhe reported that it had a total of 123 imported coronavirus cases, nearly 97% of cases in Heilongjiang.
The city’s 70,000 residents have been told to stay at home and only person per household can shop for essentials every three days. Public buses and taxis are not allowed to leave the city centre.
Those are the same restrictions imposed in late January on the hard-hit central city of Wuhan and the surrounding province of Hubei, where the virus emerged.
“We’re so scared. Measures here are so much stricter now compared to the earlier period,” said Liang Yuxin, a 21-year-old student in Suifenhe told Reuters via social media messaging.
On Friday, a makeshift field hospital - China’s first outside Wuhan - will be ready to house 600 patients with mild or no symptoms, state news agency Xinhua said.
Work to set up the hospital in a converted office building began on Monday, and 400 medical staff are expected to be stationed there.
“We will admit and treat every single person who requires admission and treatment,” Yu Kaihong, the leader of a provincial medical team sent to assist Suifenhe, told a news conference on Thursday.
“We will use the whole strength of the province to prevent the import of the virus.”
Chinese authorities closed the border on Tuesday although cargo was allowed in as long as drivers had their health checked.
The border remained closed on Friday and it was not clear when it would re-open or how many Chinese people might be on the Russian side hoping to get home.
Another student, Deng Wenle, said people needing medical care often went to nearby Mudanjiang, a much larger city two hours away by car.
“I can’t imagine how Suifenhe can handle the huge influx of patients. All the hotels are full of people under quarantine and even the sports stadium was turned into a quarantine venue,” she told Reuters via social media.
