Michigan State Rep. Isaac Robinson dies at age 44

[RandySF]

State Rep. Isaac Robinson (D-Detroit) has died. He was 44.

State Rep. Tyrone Carter (D-Detroit) confirmed the news Sunday evening to the Michigan Advance.

“He was my guy,” Carter said, adding that he was “young, smart and funny.”

Carter was the first state lawmaker to announce he tested positive for the coronavirus. He said he’s “out of the woods” and feeling better.Carter said he hadn’t seen Robinson for three or four weeks. He had been trying to call Robinson and last received a text on Thursday. Robinson was excused from the last House session on March 17. That lasted around 12 hours as lawmakers negotiated a COVID-19 supplemental spending bill.

33. Amazing!

2. Sad

He may have died from cardiac arrest following hydroxychloroquine which is known to cause cardiac arrhythmias.

4. Where are you coming up with this? Link?

9. HYdroxychloroquine package insert

Chronic toxicity should be considered when conduction disorders (bundle branch block/ atrioventricular heart block) as well as biventricular hypertrophy are found. Drug discontinuation may lead to recovery (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular, DRUG INTERACTIONS, and SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF OVERDOSAGE).
PLAQUENIL prolongs the QT, PR and/or QRS intervals which may lead to an arrhythmia. Ventricular arrhythmias and torsade de pointes have been reported in patients taking PLAQUENIL (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular, DRUG INTERACTIONS, and SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF OVERDOSAGE).

12. But what makes you think he took Hydroxychloroquine?

[DenverJared]

16. Many people are currently being treated with Plaquenil

a brand name of hydroxychloroquine.

I have no knowledge either way. I speculated considering his young age and that he was "out of the woods" from coronavirus infection.

I could be absolutely wrong!!

29. Carter

Carter was out of the woods. He was infected first!

34. Please be careful pushing this Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine stuff here

It is under investigation as a treatment but hardly in widespread use.

[rzemanfl]

17. So we should assume this guy was taking the drug without evidence

and attribute his death to that rather than a disease he had that kills people daily. Occam's razor should be applied here.

[DenverJared]

20. It said "he was out of the woods" meaning recovering

and out of danger.

Usually, people die of a severe hemorrhagic pneumonia. When the pneumonia clears, they make a recovery and are "out of the woods."

21. Where did you get your Medical doctorate from? n/t

24. A different representative was out of the woods.

[DenverJared]

25. I got it ... I read it wrong

[sorcrow]

35. HIS COLLEAGUE WAS OUT OF THE WOODS.

Re-read the story.

5. What region did you pull that from? n/t

[DenverJared]

10. It is in the US package insert of hydroxychloroquine

[LisaL]

11. There is no indication that he was taking it.

[DenverJared]

13. I didn't say that he was ...

but considering his age and that he was already "out of the woods", I was simply speculating.

It is why I said "probably" - I have not seen his medical records.

[LisaL]

15. Who says he was out of the woods?

You seemed to be confused.

[DenverJared]

18. Please read the OP again

It says "he was out of the woods"

[LisaL]

22. I think you should read the OP again.

Carter was out of the woods. A different representative.

[DenverJared]

23. My mistake and apologies

[cayugafalls]

19. The article is confusing. I think Carter had it as well and he is the one

out of the woods.

Stay well.

[bronxiteforever]

26. Why would you say that when you don't know?

Just to cause misery? Sick.

7. I'm not going to get use to this.
