President Donald Trump has claimed he will finish his prescription for a controversial drug in a bid to prevent coronavirus in the next two days.
Trump told journalists earlier this week that he had been taking the malaria pill hydroxychloroquine - which he has previously hailed as a 'gift from God' - every day to stave off coronavirius.
On Tuesday the 73-year-old told reporters that: 'I think the regimen finishes in a day or two. I think it's two days.'
The news the President was taking the drug came despite warnings from his own government that it should only be administered for coronavirus or in a hospital or research settings because of potentially fatal side effects.
He said: 'I started taking it, because I think it’s good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories. Frontline workers take it, a lot of doctors take it, I take it.
'I'm not going to get hurt by it, it's been around for 40 years for malaria, for lupus. I'm taking the two - the zinc and the hydroxyl. So far I seem to be okay.'
Despite his comments, the drug has the potential to cause significant side effects in some patients and numerous studied have shown it is ineffective in combating coronavirus.

Daily Mail pushing the party line on HCQ being “ineffective” for the ChiCom Virus.
What a crock.
It’s not yet “his” government. Probably won’t be even after four more years. The Swamp may be undrainable.
Gotta love the Daily Mail. They are so much smarter than the doctors who treat President Trump. /s
Liberal fake news - “unproven”?
Only been around for 60 years.
Trump added: 'It's got a bad reputation only because I'm promoting and so I'm obviously a very bad promoter. If anybody else we're promoting it, they'd say this is the greatest thing ever.'Trump doesn't just call a spade a spade. He calls a spade a flippin' shovel!
But any "vaccine" rushed to market in the next 3-6 months will be "PROVEN SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" and we will be forced to take it, or refused work, school or travel.
It’s a proven Malaria drug. Headline writers suck.
He's Trolling You.....
Worst attempt at a Jedi mind trick ever, Alice.
The author’s name is Alice, eh? Curiouser and curiouser.
I don’t think this drug is a proven coronavirus cure, but the way the press has been going after it, you’d think it was rat poison instead of a very commonplace drug routinely taken throughout the tropics as a treatment for malaria.
And for Lupus.
Well, the Left has politicized Hollywood, academia, sports, art, music,literature,climate, and education, why not pharmacology?
Remdesivir is not a CV2 cure either.
Fauxcy loves it though.
hcq:
“UNPROVEN”!?
DRINK!!
the new word has arrived!!
lol
IIRC-—The drug has been in use for over 30 years.
HOW can that be classified as “UNPROVEN”???
Are there ANY brain cells left working in the media???
If this drug is so dangerous we should stop producing it. Obviously it has no value helping with malaria, or lupus, or whatever else they use it for.
On one hand they say it will kill everybody and the next breath they say by using it it uses up the supply that other people will need for their treatment. Are the Lupus people immune from the drug’s side effects ?
i am about fed up with immunologist quasi-science.
these QUACKS are always talking about stuff like software models and blind tests.
the truth is, both are inadequate substitutes for inadequate understanding of deterministic chemical processes.
beyond a certain point, which almost certainly seems to have been reached, these folks begin to sound like the church insisting on a biblical interpretation of astronomy because there are no software models or blind tests to prove otherwise.
quack! quack quack quack science!
i’m surprised i don’t get more hits from doing a google search of “fauci” and “quack.”
