Medical group endorses anti-malarial drug treatment for coronavirus patients

America's major medical society specializing in the treatment of respiratory dieases has endorsed using hydroxychloroquine for seriously ill hospitalized coronavirus patients. The American Thoracic Society issued guidelines Monday that suggest COVID-19 patients with pneumonia get doses of the anti-malaria drug. The American Thoracic Society issued guidelines Monday that suggest COVID-19 patients with pneumonia get doses of the anti-malaria drug. ''To prescribe hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 peneumonia if all of the following apply: a) shared decision-making is possible, b) data can be collected for interim comparisons of patients who received hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) versus those who did not, c) the illness is sufficiently severe to warrant investigational therapy, and d) the drug is not in short supply,” the Thoracic Society said.

The use of hydroxychloroquine has been hotly debated. President Trump has promoted its use on an experimental basis and Gov. Andrew Cuomo has agreed to provide it to thousands of seriously ill patients in New York hospitals in combination with Zithromax. Critics have criticized the promotion of using the drug based on limited or anecdotal evidence.

The Thoracic Society said its guidelines are based on input from an international task force comprised of doctors from medical centers that are currently treating COVID-19 patients. The medical group said evidence about the impact of hydroxychloroquine is “contradictory” but it is worth experimenting with during a public health crisis to treat very sick patients. “We believe that in urgent situations like a pandemic, we can learn while treating by collecting real-world data,” said Dr. Kevin Wilson, chief of guidelines and documents at the American Thoracic Society. “There are in vitro studies that suggest that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have activity against SARS-CoV-2019, the virus that causes COVID-19,” Wilson said. But he also said several controlled trials from China and France “all have serious flaws and inconsistent findings. … Thus, the bottom line is, whether hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine confer benefits to patients with COVID-19 are unanswered questions.”

Supreme Court upholds controversial traffic stop by police

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday upheld a warrantless traffic stop by a sheriff’s deputy in Kansas that was conducted based on information that the car owner’s license had been revoked. Charles Glover Jr. claimed that the deputy did not have the required “reasonable suspicion” to pull him over, because all he did was run the truck’s license plate and did not know before the stop that the vehicle’s owner – Glover – was the one driving. In an 8-1 decision authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, the court held that police acted properly. “We hold that when the officer lacks information negating an inference that the owner is the driver of the vehicle, the stop is reasonable,” Thomas wrote, saying that Deputy Mark Mehrer reasonably inferred that Glover was the one driving the car. The Kansas Supreme Court had ruled in Glover’s favor, claiming that the stop was based on “only a hunch” that the driver of the truck was the owner, but the U.S. Supreme Court held that Mehrer’s belief was more reasonable than just a hunch, and a “commonsense inference.”

“The fact that the registered owner of a vehicle is not always the driver of the vehicle does not negate the reasonableness of Deputy Mehrer’s inference,” Thomas said. Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out that the fact that the truck’s owner had a revoked license means that it was no longer a common-sense assumption that the owner was driving, but still agreed that Mehrer had reasonable suspicion. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor argued that Mehrer did not have enough to support his belief that Glover would have been driving without a valid license. “With no basis in the record to presume that unlicensed drivers routinely continue driving, the majority endeavors to fill the gap with its own ‘common sense,’” Sotomayor wrote. She also claimed that the majority improperly looked to the common sense of an average person instead of that of a reasonable officer, but the majority noted that her arguments – which were also made by Glover – were unconvincing.
