The urgent search for a COVID-19 cure means that the usual scientific approach to testing medicines – big studies with careful control groups – is not an option. We can’t wait that long. Instead, trial and error, along with an accretion of anecdotal data, is the best we’ve got.
This method has yielded one significant possibility for treating COVID-19: Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine (which are similar malaria drugs), along with azithromycin and zinc. (For ease, I’ll refer here to the whole treatment as “chloroquine.”)
Funnily enough, though, the Democrats are incredibly hostile to the chloroquine. One has to wonder if they’re hoping, not for the best, but for the worst. Fairly early in the COVID-19 pandemic, China said that it had seen some good outcomes with chloroquine. Others began noting the same thing. In early March, UPI reported that South Korean experts recommended anti-malarial drugs to treat coronavirus.
Chloroquine also got a boost when Prof. Didier Raoult, a famous virologist, published a study showing that, of eighty in-patients treated with chloroquine, seventy-eight recovered fully, one died, and one remained ill. Raoult felt so strongly about chloroquine’s benefits that he concluded it would be unethical to have a control group that did not receive the medicine. On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that another study from China pointed to chloroquine as a possible cure.

of course not...the economy was going too good and making a mockery of Obama that said Trump would wave a magic wand to bring manufacturing and business back to the US.......They need chaos and will create it if necessary to try and win the next election....
Not sure we can connect these dots yet..but I wouldn't put it past them!

Of course they don’t. It gives them something else to blame on Trump.
Hydroxychloroquine needs to be given to every US adult medically cleared, as a preventative. RIGHT NOW!!!
Trump should use the Defense Procurement Act to force every US drug maker to crank it out 24/7. Roll it out like a temporary vaccine. Use the India Protocol. It works in 3 hours. Need a booster once a week. Costs $20. Less than $50 billion to stop this in it’s tracks.
It’s very safe, for most people.
Why are countries giving it to first responders and med professionals as a preventative (including the US!), but the rest of us have to lock the doors and go bankrupt? Why are first responders and medical personnel aowed to take it as a preventative, but I can’t???
Take the dose, go back to work the next day!!! Reopen the economy!
They think it’s almost that? What do they have to do, kill us on the streets before “they” know what democrats want to do.
Re - - Why are countries giving it to first responders and med professionals as a preventative (including the US!), but the rest of us have to lock the doors and go bankrupt? Why are first responders and medical personnel allowed to take it as a preventative, but I can’t???

Environmentalists are slobbering over the current economic shutdown in the name of public safety. They’re already publishing articles on how this helps the planet, and they need this same power to literally save the world.
i didn’t see anything that supported “ first responders and medical personnel” in the USA.I remain skeptical about that.
