Bahrain and Belgium report their hospitals are successfully treating coronavirus patients with the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine touted by President Trump as a possible breakthrough in the pandemic.
The Kingdom of Bahrain's Supreme Council of Health chairman said his country was among the first to use the drug and that its impact has been "profound," according to the Bahrain News Agency.
Dr. Shaikh Mohamed, who leads the National Taskforce for Combating COVID-19, was also quoted by the news agency as saying hydroxychloroquine was administered according to the same regimens as those used in China and South Korea.
The first COVID-19 case in Bahrain was reported on Feb. 21, and hydroxychloroquine was first administered to patients showing virus symptoms on Feb. 26. As of March 25, the virus had caused 4 deaths in Bahrain, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to prevent and treat malaria and is administered to patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Meanwhile in Europe, another U.S. ally, Brussels, is reporting similar early success with the same drug and is taking steps to ensure its availability for the sickest coronavirus patients.

Can;t be!!! Trump knows NOTHING! /s
There’s a pair to draw to.
If this continues, Trump will be elected for a third term.
And Nevada’s idiot retarded DemonRAT governor has banned its use for the treatment of COVID-19.
Is this news source credible? I hope it is.
I wish we were told how many COVID-19 patients were helped.
Pelosi: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”!!
If this continues, expect Trumps endorsement to go down the Media memory hole
Just the who???? Need reliable sources before I celebrate.
I hope we have domestic suppliers.
” I’ve been right. A lot!”
So some guy that has been pimping HCQ + Z-Packs, and has been on Fox News a few times, including Tucker’s show, has been revealed as a charlatan. This doesn’t mean HCQ + Z-Packs don’t work, but it does show the need for proper vetting of claims/credentials, and the need to really dive deep on the claims for this treatment.
I’m seeing a lot of things I never thought I would live to see. The rapid slide to totalitarianism is upsetting. A ‘good guy’ climate scientist is another. I just happened on this blog page — it’s worth a look. (No, it’s not my blog, I never saw it until earlier today.)
Hopeful news from Bahrain but in reading the article and clicking on the link for Belgium it seems to be just repeating that they are going to start trials based on the same small trial from France we’ve already known about. I didn’t see anything about successful use yet in Belgium?
Also in all these trials I hope they are going to test on people
I wonder what other viruses this works on?

If it’s due to being a zinc ionophore then I’d say a good bit of them

WTF are you talking about?
That is not true, you should read the whole article and not just the headlines.
