Doctors and hospitals are turning to decades-old antimalarial drugs to treat patients infected with the disease caused by the new coronavirus, as they work to repurpose existing therapies in a race to find effective treatments.
Antimalarial drugs chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine have both shown early signs of improving symptoms of some patients diagnosed with Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, based on reports by doctors and researchers in South Korea, France and China. Physicians in the U.S. are also using the drugs.

Another tool to flatten the death curve.
Wall Street Journal. Your choice for week old news.
Fouci gives thumbs down on that drug just after Trump side it could be helpful.... I don’t trust that little Hillary loving pos.
That being said...
With the readily available and cheap anti-virals showing great effectiveness in both quickening the recovery of even the most dire cases and preventing infection, this is over in a month.
Then Trump has 0% interest rates, a de-facto tax cut, ammo for repeal of the payroll tax, the end of sanctuary cities, wall funding, a mandate to bring manufacturing back to the US, and political capital like nobody else.
The economy will be roaring by October. He’ll have played the left like a harp from hell.
There is no “turning to” involved.
When the cruise ships were quarantined ealy on some of the passengers were coincidentally on hydroxychloroquine as an antimalarial. None of them contracted the escaped Chinese bioweapon. Doctors stumbled into this treatment first, so they aren’t turning to it from something else.
Okay, I might be a bit pedantic.
Did they get permission from the GREAT Dr. Fauci yet?
Fauci’s remarks on Friday sent the Dow from positive territory to more than 900 points down, in a matter of minutes. Expect more of same for tomorrow.
In the 2009-2010 pandemic, Dr Fauci did not call for any of the draconian shut-downs that are happening now. I would like to see a graph of days since 100 confirmed cases vs deaths from that pandemic to compare with what we see today.
Would love to see the Luciferian Left go to He!! directly, do not pass Go, do not collect $2T
Don’t wait for the MSM to tell you this, but Trump got the FDA to approve this as a use - without calling it a cure – and has gotten pharmaceutical companies to Produce and donate millions of doses. As for officially calling it a cure, studies have been done in France and Japan with a 100% cure rate, so the FDA should go ahead and approve it but because of bureaucratic politics, they won’t.
What the media really wants to do is crash the US economy and create such misery that when AOC and her socialist saviors ride in, people will be so desperate they’ll believe anything. It’s a technique called miserification, and this is why when the Marxists took over in Spain in the 30s, The first people they shot were people who were teaching, running schools and job training. providing healthcare or otherwise doing good in the poor areas.
Appreciate the optimism! Hope so.
Yup. He kicked bureaucrat ass to get this done. He’s allowing them to save face by saying it’s a trial. But basically everyone sick in New York hospitals is getting a dose. Thank God for this man.
Trump broadcasted this treatment option to reach the public, medical providers, and hospital administrators, so they would all get the message about the “right to try” and not be hindered in treating dying patients by the months-long time lag required for studies by Fauci bureaucrat clinicians
It just seems like a week.
Fauci is enjoying being superior to Trump in the language and methodology of his scientific standards to “ correct” the layman terms used by the POTUS
Someone should skewer the weasel by asking him if he would try this therapy for a loved one if all else failed and they were drowning in their own body fluids
Fauci is a hellary deepstater and doesn’t want to have any possible positive news about a potentially helpful treatment...he wants to study it for 3 years like the mueller collusion farce...
I would think that anything to reduce the viral load would allow the body to cure itself of the rest in short order as long s the patient treatment starts early enough. This has the potential of letting the patient deal with symptoms like that of a common cold instead of pneumonia.
What the hey....this has not been approved by Dr Farci or FDA, DHS, KMA and the FBI.
Until Farci puts his stamp on it, it cannot work.
