Of course it’s late night, on a Saturday no less. The Dems don’t want to admit they were wrong about Trump’s assessments to begin with. We could have avoided so much stuff had not folks behaved right and worked for the good of the people of America.
It’s from last week, Thursday, March 24. I’d been looking for another article, couldn’t find it and posted this one instead. What I’d wanted to post was an article that might include the letter that their Senate Leader, Mark Steffen, MD sent to health care providers. You can read it here:

Trump’s “assessments” were for HCQ. However HCQ did not save him. It was monoclonal-antibody therapy that was at that time in small supply.
At that time it was a drug made in large stainless-steel tanks using genetically engineered ovary cells from hamsters. Like all living things, they grew only so fast. The tanks are also sophisticated pieces of equipment that can take months to install.
To be a successful therapy doctors will have to make the decision early in the course of illness, before those patients get seriously sick. Trump had the benefit of daily testing. Monoclonal antibodies are likely to work best when the virus is still trying to gain a foothold in the body. In general, you want to stop the replication of a microbe—in this case, the virus—at the earliest point in time. But stopping the virus depends on patients being able to get tested for COVID-19 early, receive their results quickly, and go to a hospital that stocks an experimental treatment before they really even need hospitalization—like President Trump did.
