lican, Democrat, independent. They got to go. These are people who are not patriots. They're not servants of the people. They're not even human beings right now. And they need to go and they need to go right away. Now you know we don't need to fire them this week but we need to make a list and we got to make a point. Like I said a million times, voters have been mad about this thing because you k…

tor who had the good results with 350 patients said specifically. So this is what he did. All right, so given the urgency of the situation, this was his guideline. These were his guidelines. Number one, any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated. So in other words he didn't wait for a test. He just said okay those symptoms look dangerous, not going to wait for a test, I'm gonna treat you. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated. Again not waiting for the tests, treat them. Young, healthy and low-risk patients even with symptoms are not treated unless their circumstances change. So in order to preserve his supply I guess he didn't treat people with mild symptoms and who were also young.

And his outpatient treatment after he sent them home, so not hospitalized, was hydroxychloroquine 200 milligrams twice a day for five days, azithromycin 500 milligrams once a day for five days, and zinc sulfate 220 milligrams once a day for five days. And he said since last Thursday my team has treated approximately 350 patients in New Rochelle I guess that's the town and another 150 nearby. And of this group, so that's 350 plus 150, 500 people, of this group zero deaths, zero hospitalizations, zero intubations meaning needing a ventilator. In addition I have not heard of any negative side effects other than ten percent of the people had nausea and diarrhea. Yeah which for some of us that's just every day. And that he urgently treats people.

So here's what I think is going to happen. I think we gotta wait till the end of the week and confirm that this doctor and other doctors who are trying this stuff are really getting the result they say. We won't have full safety information but I think it will become rapidly clear that the trade-off of the risk of taking the drug versus the risk of not taking the drug, it's going to be a hundred to one. You know I don't think anybody's going to have any doubt about anything.

Okay, so that's all I got for now. Is this enough to drive you to vote? Scott, now you know it isn't. I'm a special case because I don't want to be influenced by being a member of the party or even voting for a member of a party. But the rest of you should. You should all vote.

Somebody says $35,000 per super sick person is cheaper

than ruining the economy. Well I don't know if that estimate is correct but it's the wrong thing to compare because you're comparing people dying to the economy. If you're saying how much does it cost per death, you're on the wrong territory there. All right, I'm mad today. I hope you are t
