A Florida man diagnosed with coronavirus claims he was saved from certain death by an anti-malaria drug touted as a possible treatment by President Trump.
Rio Giardinieri, 52, told Los Angeles’ Fox 11 that he struggled with horrendous back pain, headaches, cough and fatigue for five days after catching COVID-19, possibly at a conference in New York.
Doctors at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in South Florida diagnosed him with the coronavirus and pneumonia and put him on oxygen in the ICU, he told the outlet.
After more than a week, doctors told him there was nothing more they could do and, on Friday evening, Giardinieri said goodbye to his wife and three children.

Finally. A good Florida Man story.
I really did search.
Yeah baby!
Trump saves Florida Man!
Good thing his friend got him to overrule his doctor who argued that it was unproven. His treatment should be free.
Trump right again. doubt if Sherman below will be reporting this:
TWEET: Gabriel Sherman, Vanity Fair special correspondent. NBC News/MSNBC contributor, Author of NYT best seller THE LOUDEST VOICE IN THE ROOM @nymag alum

from replies to Sherman:
Lucas Rizor: The suicide rate jumped from 12.1% to 18.9% with 25% unemployment during The Great Depression.
Currently the govt is predicting a 30% unemployment rate.
Economic despair kills.
reply to Rizor: ReignOfHeathens: Yes but the answer to the deaths caused by Capitalism is not to sacrifice others to it. It’s to abandon it.
from replies to Sherman:
Suicide, homicide, alcoholism, armed robbery, domestic abuse, depression etc. all increase many-fold when the economy collapses.

22 Mar: LA Times: Why this Nobel laureate predicts a quicker coronavirus recovery: ‘We’re going to be fine’
By Joe Mozingo
Michael Levitt, a Nobel laureate and Stanford biophysicist, began analyzing the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide in January and correctly calculated that China would get through the worst of its coronavirus outbreak long before many health experts had predicted.
Now he foresees a similar outcome in the United States and the rest of the world...
“What we need is to control the panic,” he said. In the grand scheme, “we’re going to be fine.”...
But he also blames the media for causing unnecessary panic by focusing on the relentless increase in the cumulative number of cases and spotlighting celebrities who contract the virus. By contrast, the flu has sickened 36 million Americans since September and killed an estimated 22,000, according to the CDC, but those deaths are largely unreported.
He fears the public health measures that have shut down large swaths of the economy could cause their own health catastrophe, as lost jobs lead to poverty and hopelessness. Time and again, researchers have seen that suicide rates go up when the economy spirals down...

Trump told this story during today’s presser so they at least heard it.
Impossible. The media has told me that if you dare venture outside you’ll get the coronavirus and A horrible painful death, unless you heed every government warning and hiding your house for the next 2 weeks or however many weeks they tell you too.
Hmmm. I think he meant to say it was “Blessed by Trump”
