'These medications need to be widely available and promoted immediately for physicians to prescribe,' the American Journal of Epidemiology says.

prestigious medical journal is criticizing news media coverage of hydroxychlorioquine in the battle against coronavirus, saying there is evidence the anti-malarial drug combined with the antibiotic azithromycin helps in the early stages of outpatient treatment.

"Hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin has been widely misrepresented in both clinical reports and public media, and outpatient trials results are not expected until September," the journal noted, urging medical professionals and the public to recognize there are different stages of the disease that may require different treatments.

I wonder how much our domestic enemies have spent on the anti-HQ campaign... perhaps more than they would have spent on a pro-HQ campaign if Trump had said he was against it?
