Last night I posted perhaps (likely) a fake news item that one of my daughter’s friends had sent us - namely that in France the confinement would last until May 11th. It was around midnight here and my wife was asking me to turn off the computer.
I had a heart attack 8 years ago. Effectively at each electrocardiogram my heart beat registers the same irregular beat - particular to me. Effectively I have had extra-systoles - which used to really bother me - but which through improved health over time have mostly vanished. A key element in all of the improvement - Sports and Diet (adapted to my needs). With the confinement my heart beat irregularities are starting to reappear. We are allowed to walk within 1 km (1.6KM=1mile) from our homes - for 1 hour.
Quite frankly Chris, if I get COVID-19, I would take the risk in a moment about having an altered RT by Hydroxychloroquine medication - with the support of my cardio-physician. The problem is this - in France the powers that be have made it ILLEGAL for a GP to prescribe it for COVID-19.
So with that in my simple nature I would ask why did they do this?
If it is to protect Lupus patients - then lets have the information about how many Lupus patients have contracted COVID-19.
My tin-foil hat says that they are doing this on purpose. For Dear John Prine
