The state on Friday loosened restrictions on using a controversial malaria drug for COVID-19 patients, making it more readily available for people in nursing homes and other facilities.
The decision comes amid reports of nursing home residents dying from complications of the disease and after some doctors, politicians and pharmacists had called for a change in the state's rules.
Until Friday's order, doctors had been barred from prescribing hydroxychloroquine and some other drugs to treat COVID-19 outside of hospitals unless patients tested positive for the virus.

Imagine that.
“Earlier this week, Elise Barry, the CEO of the New Jersey Pharmacists Association, said that pharmacists in nursing homes had been expressing concerns that residents who had become ill had to wait many days for test results before they were given hydroxychloroquine. She said that such delays could worsen the spread of the disease in the homes.
The issue, she said, had been brought up to the state Division of Consumer Affairs.”
SO THAT MEANS, I TAKE IT, THAT NURSING HOME PHARMACISTS THINK IT WORKS, OR HAS POTENTIAL, AND THEY LOBBIED FOR THE RIGHT TO GET IT TO THE NURSING HOME RESIDENTS. FUNNY, YOU NEVER HEAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE KINDS OF DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFINGS. THOSE WHITE HOUSE REPORTERS ARE SHOCKINGLY UNIMPRESSIVE.

Unbelievable. Thank goodness they loosened the restrictions.

Yes indeed.
“Controversial” eh?
Apart from it being in use for over 70 years and having been taken by billions of people in Africa and Asia to cure malaria, they are right I guess. NOT!
Fauci will add these to his ‘anecdotals’ list.
It's YOUR body, it's YOUR CHOICE!
(sound familiar?)
Only this time, the statement is about YOUR body, not someone sheltering in place within.
This time, it makes sense.
C’mon, man, it’s just anecdotal

Their ego trip has killed a few hundred citizens, but will they be held accountable by anyone other than God?
Because He will.
The story also had the press's other favorite word.

Impeach President Trump for controversial touting, the ultimate high crime.
How many people in New Jersey have died because Gov. Murphy suffers Trump Derangement Syndrome?
What’s controversial about HCQ?
Only to Rat party propagandists.
When this is over,the true history will reveal what a scam this all was. I am not talking about the epidemic itself which was horrific and deadly.I talk about what was projected and what some actually wanted.......all to destroy the American President and wreck the USA.

You noticed it too! It’s like the MSM all got their script from the CCP/DNC.
The more dead collateral grannies and grampies, the better.
Their aim is to make sure the victims don't get the treatment until their bodies are heavily damaged - or they're too far gone for it to help.
So far, more than half the deaths in the US have been in New York and New Jersey.
The population density of NYC and North Jersey is unavoidable, but stupidity on the part of the two governors is avoidable.
To answer your question, whatever the final death toll is in the two states, I'd attribute about 1/3 to the governors' stupidity.
