Good read about why CHQ+ZPAK+ZINC works:

http://web.archive.org/web/20200405061401/https://medium.com/@agaiziunas/covid-19-had-us-all-fooled-but-now-we-might-have-finally-found-its-secret-91182386efcb

Also why ventilators aren't fixing the main problem which is in your blood.

I feel like we talked about the heme issues weeks ago, especially as a reason why diabetics (high A1C) are at high risk.

Also that article seems to have a lot wrong. I can't wrap my head around what they are trying to say about HCQ and DNA and heme.

Also, malaria isn't a bacteria, it is a single cellular eukaryote.

And with that, random person who doesn't seem to understand the basic science posting an article on medium lost all credibility.

For you laypeople out there like me (I just happen to be reading a book on the Mosquito) malaria is caused by a parasite. The parasite, unlike mutli-celled worms etc., happens to be a single celled eukaryotye. Correct me if I'm wrong on that doc(s).

If there are asymptomatic carriers, wouldn't herd immunity be closer to reality than we think?

Yes. A parasite small enough to live and reproduces inside a red blood cell. And when it makes enough additional parasites, the red blood cell bursts allowing all the new parasites to invade other red blood cells. And then there is the whole complicated life cycle where it gets sucked up by a mosquito, reproduces in the mosquito, and then waits to be spit into the next host.

And for those that may have forgotten their biology, bacteria are prokaryotes that are basically a sack filled with stuff with everything happening in the same space. Eukaryotes include animals, plants, etc that have little sacks inside a big sack so they can isolate specialized functions like DNA replication in a nucleus and energy production in mitochondria.

I know that the author lost credibility regarding his/her description of malaria (bacteria vs. eukaryote), One mistake does not necessarily impugn the whole. I was wondering about the described virus attack on hemoglobin causing the oxygen deficiencies and its explanation for why the virus seems more potent against those who are diabetic?

I've noticed an increase in neighbors wearing masks during afternoon walks. We live inside the loop in Houston, however, maintaining six feet of social distance is still feasible. I completely understand the value of wearing masks in indoor environments (where social distance cannot be reliably maintained), however, do you advise wearing masks in this situation? Is it a "it can't hurt" or "you need to do it" (especially given the limitations on availability)?

Good question. Wife and I walk every day through our neighborhood and never within 6 yards of other people let alone 6 feet. Is a mask necessary?

Dr Coates, my wife is extremely allergic to sulfa. If the need arises, will she be able to take hydroxychoroquine? Thanks in advance.
