Washington: Extraordinary times require even closer cooperation between friends, US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, thanking India after the government allowed the United States to buy 29 million doses of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug believed effective in the treatment of coronavirus. "Extraordinary times require even closer cooperation between friends. Thank you India and the Indian people for the decision on HCQ. Will not be forgotten! Thank you Prime Minister @NarendraModi for your strong leadership in helping not just India, but humanity, in this fight!" the American President tweeted.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump confirmed that the first shipment of a total of 29 million doses of the drug was on its way from three factories in Gujarat to the United States, reports news agency PTI.
"I want to thank Prime Minister Modi of India for allowing us to have what we requested for the problem arose and he was terrific. We will remember it," Mr Trump later told reporters at his daily White House news conference on coronavirus on Wednesday.
True, but they were there in our hour of need. So we should be grateful.
Lets not forget gratitude for kindness during this time.
If 29 million doses is part of a strategy to reopen the country sooner then I’m for it.
It seems promising that it may be prophylactic for the spread of the virus.
India owes us.
I have H1s right now employed because my company has some agreement with this off shore staffing BS company. Someone in town wont ever get a chance but damn if we bend over for someone on a VISA. They show up and we waste months on them with all kinds of communication issues, extended vacations, etc.
Thanks
.....for not giving me information to a nice but somewhat liberal friend who needs solid info. with a link.
India has 1.3 billion people living mostly in third-world squalor with inadequate medical facilities and yet they have one of the lowest per-capita Covid19 infection rates in the world. Why is that? Is it perhaps because everybody there is already taking antimalaria hydroxyl drugs by the bucketful and they work?
