Very possible this is related to Boris Johnon's sudden turn around. The quick reversal of his symptons are consistent with how this treatment works for patients that are not yet on mechanical ventilation with the onset of organ failure. He never went on a ventilator and was only being treated with oxygen.

Well, well, well....

I imagine ol’ Boris DID, in fact, receive the HCQ cocktail.

Glad he’s finally coming around, on this.

How many lives were lost, due to herd immunity without the HCQ available?

Thank you, President Trump....for sending American docs over to see Boris and for touting this successful regimin.

Note - the story was printed back on March 20. This is important in that he could now claim being part of the same clinical trial available to other UK citizens (vs being given special treatment that was outright banned by their glorius NHS). This raises the probability significantly that he was in fact cured by HCQ+AZ

Everyone is joining on the Trump Pill wagon. Apart from Fauci, the media and the Democrat establishment of curse. Boris probably took Chloroquine while in intensive care.
Anyone notice how quick his recovery was?
One minute he was really ill, 3 days later, he is out of intensive care and barking out orders.

FOLKS, most successful cases, including the ones published by Dr. Didier Raoult in France and Dr. Vladimir Zelenko in upstate New York show that it is most effective during the early stages of the disease, that is,as soon as symptoms are observed. If you use it at that stage, it only takes 5 to 6 days to reverse the disease. This relieves immensely the burden on hospitals and healthcare workers!

You should not wait, like Boris Johnson, who had to go to ICU, before you start the Hydroxychloroquine protocol. By that stage of the dusease, the success rate is not well established.

He never progressed to a mechancial ventilator. Plenty of HCQ success stories for “severely ill” covid patients still on oxygen like Boris Johnson.

Another comment. If BJ received any therapy other than HCQ+AZ, there would likely be a much greater chance that the media would report on the specifics, if nothing more than to diminish the positive stories involving HCQ. All indications are that he received HCQ - the silence is deafening.

Agree, and also to my surprise as well.

BoJo no-go. Meaning, it wasn’t his time to go. VERY glad for the news. Maybe the corner on treatment for all has been (or will soon be) turned.

I suspected BoJo got the “unproven” HCQ cocktail immediately. It was probably starting its work in his system about the same time his doctors were out saying, “Thanks, but no thanks.” to the president.

I suspect that not only BoJo suddenly had a turnaround on the “Trump Pills”, but the whole downward trend can be attributed to them. New York was bracing for much higher numbers.....ventilator needs, down, hospital entries, down, deaths, down. They started using the Trump Pills (so much easier than Hydroxychloroquine lol) a couple of weeks ago....quite the coincidence.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump and others were taking HCQ regularly just for their own protection.

"I feel that Trump is giving false hope to people if the demand exceeds the supply."

What a total crock of....Fake News. HQC is the ONLY POSSIBLE drug on the horizon that can have a chance of being made in sufficient quantities to treat everyone with the disease. It's already in production at dozens of places at millions of doses, and there is nothing else on the horizon that's even beyond the status of 'human trials' for safety, much less for effectiveness, all of which take months.
