Rite Aid executives report the pharmacy chain saw a major increase in sales of hydroxychloroquine, the prescription malaria medicine that President Trump has urged Americans to take during the coronavirus pandemic despite some public-health concerns.

Rite Aid is not experiencing a shortage of the drug but is closely monitoring supply. Finance chief Matt Schroeder mentioned the increased demand, which he did not quantify, during a Thursday call with analysts to discuss quarterly financial results.

Sales of inhalers also are up, he said. For the fourth quarter, the company reported revenue of $5.73 billion and a net loss from continuing operations of $343.5 million, or $6.43 per share.

One cannot buy HydroxyChloroquine without a prescription. I would guess that:

1) Doctors are prescribing it to their patients

and/or

2) Doctors are buying it for themselves and their families

[MrEdd]

I will take the second one.

What a crappy business model. That was BEFORE the Chiflu officially hit.

Sharon is a cunning stunt.

Oh, and the WSJ works for China.

This cannot work because the media has declared that it will not work.
Because Orange Man Bad.

Of course, perhaps it will work because the media is a collection of dumbasses who are in journalism because it was down there in the bottom 5% of academic majors containing academic rigor. Therefore, if they do not believe it, there is a very high probability that they are wrong.

I just read today that the Canadian couple that was murdered in December, 2019, owned a company that manufactured generic HCQ.

Correction: 2017

Apotex manufactures the drug hydroxychloroquine being studied as an experimental treatment for coronavirus 2019.

[Norski]

Would appreciate to read story.

The media and most politicians have done everything to block this because American dead is of no consequence because they want President Trump dead. How many lives did they kill due to their hatred of the President?

[tet68]

What’s the price?

Fifty twice...!

[Robert DeLong]

NO, both.

I’ve seen you post this, about this couple, several times.

What is the point/connection/significance of this couple’s murder, to the drug protocol?

Just trying trying to understand connection. Thanks.
