Democrat State Representative, Karen Whitsett

A Democratic state representative from Detroit has recovered from coronavirus and she says it was the combination of the drug hydroxychloroquine and President Trump that saved her life.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett's husband is an engineer at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and the two believe they were exposed to COVID-19 through his job.
Whitsett said she started experiencing shortness of breath, sinus issues, and swollen lymph nodes and tested positive for the virus on Monday.
Her doctor prescribed hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to prevent and treat malaria and also used to treat lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and medical conditions.
Trump has touted the use of hydroxychloroquine during his daily coronavirus briefings despite push back from health experts who warn that the drug could potentially be dangerous and its effectiveness against COVID-19 hasn't been proven.
"It has a lot to do with the president ... bringing it up," Whitsett said in an interview with the Detroit Free Press. "He is the only person who has the power to make it a priority."
Whitsett began taking the drug in combination with antibiotics on March 31 and said she started receiving relief in "less than two hours."
Asked whether she thinks Trump may have saved her life, Whitsett said: "Yes, I do," and "I do thank him for that."
Trump tweeted at the freshman lawmaker on Monday saying "Congratulations to State Representative Karen Whitsett of Michigan. So glad you are getting better!"
Whitsett's husband is still awaiting test results from his COVID-19 exam.

A Democrat now less.
Maxine Waters is going to have a cow.
Here’s hoping it’s her road to Damascus moment.
Example # 311 why CNN is not news organization:
On Tucker they showed alcid of their “analysts” accusing Trump of pushing the malaria drug so he could make money. No evidence of course.
In a real world. that person would have been dragged off the stage and shown the door where they would be tarred and feathered .

There’s something wrong here...this lady is too rational, intelligent and attractive to be a Democrat....
yes...they’ll probably target her to be ousted in a primary because of this.
Just on with Laura - been holed up at home since mid-March. Wasn’t getting any better and on March 31(?) was going down fast. Didn’t want to go to the hospital because they were overwhelmed and she was afraid she wouldn’t come out alive. Heard the President talk about it but Dem gov in Michigan banned it for covid-19. Husband had to fight to get it prescribed and she took it just as her prognosis was getting severe. In a couple of hours her condition turned around and now, though still at home, she feels fine and sincerely and profusely thanks the President for saving her life.
Very Happy a life was saved...
Yes I heard that bit.
Glad the Democrat congresswoman got treated, got well, and went public this way.
Very nice.
You beat me to it, I was thinking the same thing.
She’s a DINO.
"The Trump drugs saved my life. I'm so greatful that he informed everyone on its use, and was able to get the Democrat Govenor to change her mind. NOW IMPEACH THE SONOFABITCH,"
Whitmer is digging a hole for all MI residents. Let’s show her the door and maybe she could sweep the parking lot before she leaves the property.
Why do I get a feeling that dems/media will claim that she would have gotten better without the medicine (just a coincidence)?
