There are more than 30,000 coronavirus cases in New York

There are at least 30,811 confirmed cases of coronavirus across the state of New York, Gov. Cuomo said at a news conference today.

At least 17,858 of those cases are in New York City.

Cuomo said that 12% of those individuals who have tested positive are hospitalized, and 3% of positive cases are in ICU.

At least 285 people across the state who had tested positive for coronavirus have died, Cuomo added.

He added that 28% of all coronavirus testing across the country has been done by New York state — more than any other state.

Much excitement about the paper on #Hydroxychloroquine treatment of #COVID19 patients. 20 treated patients all seemed to eliminate virus fast. But 4 patients who did worse (one died) were left off.

Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: preliminary results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial

[snip]

So 4 of the 26 treated patients were actually not recovering well. It seems a bit strange to leave these 4 patients who got worse or who died out of the study, just on the basis that they stopped taking the medication (which is pretty difficult once the patient is dead).

Could the authors please clarify, why they left out these patients who did not do well on this treatment?

{snip]

The paper was submitted on March 16, and accepted on March 17. This creates some new concerns.

With an ethical approval on March 6, a 14-day patient follow up as stated in the paper, and a submission date of March 16, the timeline becomes seemingly impossible. Could the authors please clarify?
Was the paper indeed peer reviewed within 24h? That seems incredibly fast.
One of the authors on this paper is also the Editor in Chief of the journal in which the paper was accepted, i.e. the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents. This might be perceived as a huge conflict of interest, in particular in combination with the peer review process of less than 24h.

"Please don't take hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) plus Azithromycin for #COVID19 UNLESS your doctor prescribes it. Both drugs affect the QT interval of your heart and can lead to arrhythmias and sudden death, especially if you are taking other meds or have a heart condition."

North Carolina reports first deaths from coronavirus

North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services is reporting two deaths related to coronavirus, according to a statement from Gov. Roy Cooper's Office.

The patients include a Cabarrus County resident in their 70s who had several underlying medical conditions. The patient died on March 24, the statement said.

A Virginia resident in their 60s, who was traveling through North Carolina, also died from Covid-19 complications, according to the statement.

“We extend our deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones," the statement said.

Fake? Seems pretty real to me. Just because people are fucking idiots and ignoring common sense isolation orders, doesn't make it fake.

Absolutely. Apparently these "U.S. officials" didn't get the memo.

The Italian village left devastated after coronavirus claims 36 lives in 23 days

The village of Vertova – with its ancient stone houses northeast of Milan – has 4,600 inhabitants and usually sees around 60 deaths the entire year. But the coronavirus epidemic has claimed the lives of 36 villagers in just 23 days.

The obituaries posted on a board where the newspapers might otherwise hang tell the story of an Italian village living through a disaster the mayor calls “worse than the war“.

“No one deserves such a horrible death,” the mayor said.

“It is absurd to think that there could be such a pandemic in 2020.”

FDA commissioner warns against self-medicating with chloroquine used in fish tanks


The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Stephen Hahn, is warning against self-medicating with any form of chloroquine phosphate unless prescribed by a doctor.

While the anti-malaria drug chloroquine has been touted by President Trump as a potential treatment for coronavirus, an Arizona man died this week after taking a form of the substance used in aquariums.

“The chloroquine phosphate used for treating aquarium fish is not the same as the FDA-approved chloroquine being studied as a possible treatment for #COVID19,” Hahn said in a series of tweets Wednesday. “We want to warn consumers that this product [is] sold to treat parasites in aquarium fish and may have adverse effects, including serious illness or death, when taken by people.”

Hahn said that there is currently “no FDA-approved treatment” for Covid-19, and he said that chloroquine should only be taken if prescribed by a health care provider and obtained from legitimate sources.

“Some people and companies are trying to profit from the pandemic by selling unproven/illegally marketed products claiming to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent #COVID19,” Hahn said, adding that “these have NOT been evaluated by FDA for safety and effectiveness & might be dangerous to you and your family.”

There is limited evidence, partly from studies on human cells, that chloroquine – or its closely-related analogue, hydroxychloroquine – could have antiviral effects.

Doctors in China, France, the US and other countries have used the drug experimentally in Covid-19 patients, but there is not yet sufficient clinical evidence that it's effective in humans.
