Video Transcript:

Let's I want to come back to this, but I want to also now get your experience with the hydroxyploroquine What have you seen with it in the hospital setting? When do people get hydroxyploroquine? When do they get it? Where are the results? Well in our hospital if they were tested positive in starting to get sick they would get it But I think it's probably too late and that's the big Crocs of this entire issue with hydroxyploroquine is you know nobody knows how it works for sure There's questions about iron because it does stuff with iron in in malaria But I think once you have bad lung injury, we're probably you know too late to to see dramatic results. I don't think we certainly have not had any Experience in seeing patients who are very very ill get hydroxyploroquine Then suddenly get better. I mean that's certainly not anything that we've experienced I think the big question is Is it useful for prophylaxis and is it something that can help keep people out of the hospital by time and allow you know other more targeted treatments come along to treat the people who have the severe illnesses wrong You fucking stink that son of a bitch you crooked bastard Oh, dear you So right away, Al gets on the ventilator When you get on the ventilator you with this disease you have a one and five chance of survival 80% of the folks and Al Verified this in his case 80% of the folks to get on a ventilator. Don't don't make it Alice again 75 years old white male kind of a tall fellow. Oh, so I don't think we certainly have not had any Uh Experience in seeing patients who are very very ill get hydroxyploroquine then suddenly get better I mean that's certainly not anything that we've experienced Al was also one of the first patients to receive hydroxychloroquine treatment the anti-malarial drug treatment The controversial treatment unapproved cut through the red tape Al's convinced that this helped him get through this process Alice in ICU from 19 March all the way to 25 March. He's basically and a medically induced coma sedated With the ventilator on in an effort to recover By March 25th doctors believe that he's breathing well enough that they want to go ahead and try to wake him up and remove the ventilator and get him into recovery mode Experience in seeing patients who are very very ill get hydroxychloroquine then suddenly get better I mean that's certainly not anything that we've experienced. So once they get the team in place the tube comes out relatively quickly and easily And within a day Al is moved out of the ICU into another room and is up Walking carefully trying to regain his balance just enough to where he can go to the bathroom on his own That's about 25 March so there 26 March correct correction So he's been out from 19 March to 25 March six days Regarding the hydroxychloroquine Treatment again, Al thinks that helped tremendously in his case on the 3rd of April Al was released from the hospital. So he's been there since the 19th of March And he's told the quarantine for at least seven more days and that's where he's still quarantined today in his apartment In New York City where he says everybody is Stuck in our apartments in New York City the streets are Virtually empty they have been able to get up and get out and get some food and groceries but right back to the apartment It's going to take him well over a month to recover from this the doctor say in cases like Al's complete recovery is You will recover completely eventually, but it will take at least a month to regain regain Your strength But I think once you have bad lung injury. We're probably you know too late to see dramatic results Oh Yeah He can change it
