This is an image ofwhat a  typical COVID-19 blood draw looks like. Notice the blood is very dark, almost black in color. Hypoxia could easily explain the black blood.

An explanation from Dr. Robert Silvetz:

"It seems we are on the verge of treatment paradigm shift. The NYC intensivist sparked a global discussion and its paying off.

The hypoxia angle noticed by the best and brightest in the trenches has an explanation in the virus creating substances that both bind and remove iron from hemoglobin.

The circulating free iron is very reactive (damaging metabolism and cells) and because it is not in the hemoglobin, dropping oxygen saturation levels. Human pattern recognition may save the day yet!

We are looking at a toxic-drome.

The patients need transfusions.

Get them good red blood cells. Everyone without hepatitis and without drug use step up to donate.

The patients need iron chelation.

The patients need as much O2 as we can give them. Hell put them in the highest O2 environment you can.

Which also means they can share tents etc.

Part of the solution is now easily recognized - HydroxyC+Z-Pack+Zinc -- Early, and to everyone. It will work for the same reason it works in malaria (which also attacks iron in hemoglobin) and because it is generically antiviral in the presence of sufficient zinc.

Once too much iron is released by the virus, having the trifecta won't move the needle.

All studies that didn't control for individuals zinc status can be tossed.

And all the studies where the patients were severe with mixed results now have a possible explanation.

Oh -- and get this -- half of China's soils are zinc deficient!

No zinc, no viral defense, major death rates....

Oh, this also explains why Vitamin C keeps working and is helpful at all stages of the disease while not being a cure. It helps cells bind free iron!"

Also, please be aware that hydroxychloroquine + zpak is contraindicated for heart patients.

This seems to be what is causing the cardiomyopathy deaths.

Doctors are looking into cipro or doxycycline as replacements for azithromycin in heart patients.
