ME: I wondered why the very real possibility of chloroquine tablets being a effective treatment wasn't headline news everywhere. It's on Fox News and here on FR and Elon Musk got it. So I searched and MSNBC dismissed it as more Trump happy talk, other mainstream media is either ignoring it , dismissing it or leading with the latest bad Italy story-ignoring no deaths in China.
This is what a lot of us have been saying here on FR, that the way the media is pushing an exaggerating any negatives is not to inform the public but to get Trump. Yes the virus is real but the coverage is not. It's like the lady (tatoos up and down both arms) bagging groceries at Walmart Neighborhood store that I was at this morning, I said "strane times and the regular flu is goring crazy" She replied, " well what do you expect when we have a President who says he didn't know the flu killed people? It killed his own father." (out of context and false) I didn't say anything at first and then just said as nicely as I could "this is no time to make political points."
What are others opinion? Is the coverage fair?
So, if Joe gets it...don’t give him the stuff.
Will Joe refuse the medication when offered?
I can’t even imagine these media idiots on the Titanic. No one would have survived.
Agree with you 100%.
This is a global crisis. We should see more rallying behind the president as in past administrations. Be supportive or at least constructive.
I rarely watch TV news but I have seen a few recent press conferences with the president or the task force. Scientists, business people, government leaders at the ready to answer questions, and all the US “journalists” do is pepper Trump with the same “gotcha” questions over and over like isn’t “China virus racist” and “don’t you feel selfish not getting tested?”
Today’s “news” media are indeed enemies of our country.
Just more evidence that leads to the DS, China and the lapdog Monica Media were all in cahoots with the release of this crap to try and take out the POTUS by killing the world economy, especially the U.S. economy. It was their last-ditch effort to take him out short of an assassination attempt...which they’ll probably try next.
Hey monica media azzholes: Guess what? We’re ALL voting for Trump, regardless. You communist clowns fail.....again.
Pray for the safety of the POTUS and his family and pray that God takes out those behind this crap.
I saw a couple articles way before Trump mentioned these treatments saying these two drugs were working. The media is in get Trump mode even if it means millions die mode. Leftists are truly sick and it’s kind of scary how deranged they are.
I just scrolled through Yahoo News on my phone. You are right. All the stories are china virus doom and gloom and anti-Trump. About 50 stories down was finally an article about the malaria drug but the long title hid it in how Trump’s positive announcement was shot by his own FDA guy. Unbelievable!
Has anyone asked the president whether he or anyone in the government or in his family are taking these drugs?
President Trump clearly wants chloroquine tried on patients.
The FDA has to be careful, however, and stated that they would be doing trials to see if it works.
But I wonder if Trump’s statement gives U.S. doctors enough cover to offer it as an off-label usage right away. They probably already are able to do that, but his announcement could prod a lot more of them to go ahead and try it out.
If they do, it will become obvious fairly quickly if they’re getting good responses and that news will spread through the medical community (and the patient community as well) and it will be broadly used way before the completion of any trial.
In a medical emergency of this sort a lot of red tape has to get cut to get anything done quickly. Fortunately we elected a President who loves cutting red tape.
Importantly, if it worked as well as early investigations indicate, we could soon reopen the country for business and treat cases as they occurred without overwhelming the medical community. It could also keep the medical staff healthy as they work, not a minor point.
Don’t know about anyone else, but I’d sure put a heckuva lot more trust in the what the medical community has to say than some steaming pile of hammered dog shite like communist Joe Scarborough.
These Mensa rejects must realize that the President is just passing along information he received from medical experts.
They just choose to ignore that fact.
The spin doctors are in full force to destroy Trump.
After 9/11, GWB was looked upon positively. The Democrat MSM Praetorian Guard lay waste to any approval displayed
Praise Trump and watch the jackals attack.
A Stanford medical advisor was on Fox last night talking about the results of a study out of France.

Mylan to restart production of hydroxychloroquine
"The company said it may have a supply in place by mid-April, with the bandwidth to make 50 million tablets, which could treat about 1.5 million patients."
Commie left hopes there is NEVER a cure for this virus, the more Americans that die, the more the stock market crashes, the more the left celebrates
‘I said “strane times and the regular flu is goring crazy”
I would have said “beg pardon?...”
I must admit this is an interesting way to get the treatment to any doctors and patients to use, if they wish, instead of waiting a long time to run a study. I hope the results over the next week or so show promise.
I don’t think Joe gets how the FDA is letting this drug be used in this fight.
Corporate Media angry that Trump tries to blunt their efforts to panic the herd.
The only thing Joe is sure about is that Lori Klausutis wasn’t killed by corona.
Like us he's desperate for solutions.
If there's hope the Chloroquine can be of help, then by all means go
for it.
I don't see a problem for the president to say they are looking into
the benefits of this drug.
People need hope, and they need to know we are trying every avenue to help.
“another “overpromise” from the administration”
just more lies, bullshit, and propaganda from the leftist fake stream enemedia: i watched that news conference and President Trump didn’t PROMISE anything, he simply announced what everyone already had heard about, namely that numerous anecdotal reports were coming in that hydroxychloroquine seemed to be an effective drug about COVID-19 and that he had ordered the FDA to confirm that, determine the best dose, and to get that information to hospitals and doctors ASAP ... since then, TEVA and Mylan have announced that they are gearing up production of hydroxychloroquine and will be donating millions of doses to U.S. hospitals ...
the leftist fake stream enemedia is evil, despicable and anti-American ...
