Nevada’s Governor Steve Sisolak (D) on Tuesday issued an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs such as chloroquine for Coronavirus patients.
Last week Sisolak shut down casinos and only kept open essential businesses like grocery stores and health care facilities.
In addition to barring the use of chloroquine for Coronavirus patients on Tuesday, Nevada’s governor also banned social gatherings of more than 10 people.
The Associated Press reported (emphasis our own):
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada’s governor on Tuesday night issued an emergency order banning gatherings of more than 10 people in the state indoors or outdoors, a more aggressive move to try to stop the spread of the coronavrius.
Sisolak said the order does not apply to private homes or the homeless, but includes places like social clubs, parks, libraries and sports fields.
Sisolak signed an emergency order earlier Tuesday barring the use of anti-malaria drugs for someone who has the coronavirus. The order restricting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine came after President Donald Trump touted the medication as a treatment and falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration had just approved the use of chloroquine to treat patients infected with coronavirus. Sisolak said in a statement that there’s no consensus among experts or Nevada doctors that the drugs can treat people with COVID-19.
Anyone who violates the order will be charged with at least a misdemeanor crime and it remains in place until April 16 (after Easter).
President Trump on Saturday expressed optimism about two drugs that he said could be “one of the biggest game changers” in medicine – hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used in the treatment and prevention of malaria. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat many different types of infections in the respiratory system, eyes, ears, and skin, as well as sexually transmitted diseases.
A 52-year-old Coronavirus victim recently said he expected to die but hydrochloroquine saved his life:
”An hour after an IV with the medicine, he says his heart felt like it was beating out of his chest. “They had to come in and get me calmed down and take care of me. I had another episode about two hours later where I just got to the point where I couldn’t breathe and my heart was pounding again so they gave me some Benadryl through the system and something else. I’m not sure what it was. It allowed me to go to sleep and when I woke up at exactly 4:45 in the morning, I woke up like nothing ever happened.”Miraculously, he’s since had no fever or pain, feels fine and he’s able to breathe again.
“To me, there was no doubt in mind that I wouldn’t make it until morning,” Giardinieri said. “So to me the drug saved my life. … I just want everyone to know there’s an option. You don’t have to just sit there and hydrate. There’s a medicine that’s working.”
But now Coronavirus patients in Nevada will not have access to these anti-malaria drugs because the governor said so.
Death wish. Particularly from a parent of a child that dies because of this
I think what you do in this case is ignore the governor.
Are we sure it isn’t an order against Arizona Fish Tank Cleaner?
Nevada's governor has such a strong case of TDS he is willing to let his State's people suffer and die just to spite President Trump. That is just evil.
Ummmm. No. They want people to die. Period.
Unbelievable! Who does this guy think he is?
“”An hour after an IV with the medicine, he says his heart felt like it was beating out of his chest. “They had to come in and get me calmed down and take care of me. I had another episode about two hours later where I just got to the point where I couldn’t breathe and my heart was pounding again “
This sounds like the reaction many have to Z-pack. (I had it when I took it years ago).
The Marxist Media will be able to cover-up this evil act. Everyone will know what this spiteful governor did.
Actually, it’s not a sensible reason because #1 most people who have chronic illnesses like lupus and other autoimmune diseases have their own supply and #2 if you’re really concerned about hoarding then ban the hoarding, like the President is doing, not the administration of a potentially life saving drug.
I thought I heard someone say that the rate of infection in third world countries who have experienced malaria outbreaks is almost negligent. Could that be a reason?
Negligible, but you're right. Zoom in on Africa on the Johns Hopkins world map:
Ignore the jackass.
where did you hear that about cuomo banning it?
[[Cuomo just banned it in NYS for off label use, for anybody who isn’t in a Cuomo approved study.]]

Trying to chase the seriously ill out of state?
He’s just looking to expand his base. Being a Democrat, he has an automatic lock on the dead vote.
Maybe Governor Sisolak is a protege of Mengele of Nazi fame. Mengele would withhold treatment to one patient and treat another patient to document exact treatments. Twins were especially prized for these types of medical studies. Don’t get sick in Nevada, the Government wants you.

Foundational document. He he he
More deaths = more Federal dollars raining down. If they follow the school shooting formula it will be about $10 million per corpse.
