I keep hearing that masks are worthless. So why, then, are they mandatory in China?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Found the story...
But what of hydrooxychloroquine? Otherwise known as plaquenil?
My mom has been taking it for 8 years for RA and she's not dead yet.

I mean, seriously, Tylenol is lethal if you take enough. This shouldn't doom the drug if it shows promise.

At about 1:50 he explains about the masks, it's an older video but informative maybe it will help your question.

But plaquenil /hydroxychloroquine is, from what I've seen, the drug being used. Not the older chloroquine.

I've got a bunch of n95 masks from 3m for working in dusty environments. I'm holding onto them for when shit gets real ugly though.

And it won't doom the drug.
There's an old saying that the dose makes the poison... even aspirin poisoning is a real thing.
Obviously you want the greatest safety margin between an effective dose and a lethal one, but if the only game in town is one where the difference is a 2x or 4x multiple, then you go with it and warn warn warn about the dangers.
And still we are all not made the same. The lethal threshold does vary among individuals.
In one google search I did for the above post I glanced at a hit for a Chinese paper on some 2007 deaths due to Chloroquine overdose. This was back in trials to combat SARS.
And FYI.... the LD50 oral for Tylenol is over 2000 mg/kg.

Dr. Oz seems to be big on it...don't know a lot about this tv doctor except he is a real doctor who went to an IVY league school.
