    a study on the effect on the heart of hydroxychloroquine.

    https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(20)30526-9/pdf

    Holy Cow!

    Here, we use the optical mapping technique, using voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes, to illustrate the arrhythmic effects of hydroxychloroquine in ex-vivo guinea pig and rabbit hearts perfused with the upper therapeutic serum doses of HCQ (up to 1000ng/ml).

    So, as I understand it, they **** the still-beating heart out of a furry little love budget, soak it in dye, dose it to the max, and... Lo! It doesn't beat too good.

    Science.

    I shouldn't have read the article.

    Back to work today. Was told to go home At 3pm due to all of the protests going on. County of Riverside issued a curfew starting at 6pm and ending 6pm. Ugh 😑

    NY Times article up on MSN news today focused on HCA in particular, but applicable across the board, about how major medical groups took the government funds to keep people employed, then furloughed the employees while giving major bonuses to the CEO's.

    I can vouch that this is NOT "Fake News". It's affected my family, exactly as reported.

    Oh, and the furloughed doctors and nurse practitioners are being replaced with new doctors, presumably at a lower salary.

    CEO has a nice new vehicle, though.

    That should make everyone feel better.

    I was able to still have my port placed and start treatment. Let me tell you these places where ghost towns until 3 weeks ago. Luckily all my doctors and nurses stayed on.

    Okay... But their web page banner brags how they're all into diversity and inclusion. So. There's that, right?

    Well as of this morning, I can tell you first hand. The new test is easy, they do not tickle your brain with the swabs. Barely inside each nostril, twirl the swabs and done
    One of my customers from the other week tested positive over the weekend. So I work from home until the results come back. Zero symptoms for me

    Hospital is like that here so I went ahead weeks ago and ordered one. The wife got hers so mine should be getting here soon. I’ll be done with treatment by the time it finally arrives

    They are insanely strict even before entering the hospital's here. Neighbor's is a patient at MD Anderson, she said before you can even come close to the doors to enter the Hospital they make sure you're masked, scan your temperature, ask over 50 questions then scan you again all while waiting outside in a line in 90-100 degree temps for over 30mins.

    Same but only about 5 questions. And half way through treatment I had to be covid tested.

    It’s only one Judge that keeps issuing these asinine orders. She did it because she felt the increase in covid cases due to more testing required stricter measures...yet hospitalizations and deaths are down...What a stupid fvcking idiot!!! The scum bag Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner is pushing for stricter measures as well... ohh I forgot to mention both a far left liberals...I wonder if they realized if they sent all the illegals back to wherever to help clean up the big Sanctuary City, the covid cases would drop...
