    Fox News medical correspondent Marc Siegel used a very personal example to advocate for treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine. Appearing Tuesday on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Siegel shared a story of a patient who used the drug with a surprise ending. Siegel pointed out that there have been multiple preliminary studies that have shown that hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, has a positive effect on coronavirus patients, despite potential harmful side effects. “If you’re a doctor, and you take into account the side effects here, and there are some, you may decide that it’s well worth it for particular patients,” Siegel began....

Maradiaga was arrested Tuesday and charged with the third-degree felony.

    An Illinois mayor on Monday said he was "embarrassed" after his wife was found at a prohibited social gathering over the weekend that was broken up by police. Alton Mayor Brant Walker posted a statement to Facebook detailing the incident at Hiram's Tavern early Sunday morning. The gathering flouted a state-issued stay-at-home order that bans residents from leaving their homes for any reason but to buy essential items or to perform essential activities amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I was also made aware that my wife was in attendance at this prohibited social gathering," Walker wrote. "I instructed the Police Chief...

One cop in the video can be seen holding Castro to the ground, while another stands nearby.

    The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths, regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone's life. Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, said the federal government is continuing to count the suspected COVID-19 deaths, despite other nations doing the opposite. "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem," she said during...

    CNN anchor Anderson Cooper had some harsh words for President Trump on Monday night, accusing him of "hijacking" his own White House coronavirus task force press briefing. "If you tuned into it hoping you were going to hear from the country's top scientists, you were likely disappointed," Cooper began. "What you mostly heard was the president. And what you saw was a hijacking. A hijacking of the task force press conference by a president determined to rewrite the history of his early and reprehensibly irresponsible response to this virus. What the president showed us today is what the nation's top...

    CNN anchor Don Lemon trashed President Trump on Tuesday night for referring to himself as a "cheerleader" for the country amid the coronavirus outbreak. Earlier at the White House press briefing, Trump reiterated his optimism and hopes to reopen the economy, saying he thinks a president "has to be a cheerleader for the country" while taking strong measures to combat the virus, pointing to his travel ban from China in January. That didn't sit well with the "CNN Tonight" anchor.

    CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta took fire on social media Tuesday as critics suggested he was downplaying serious mistakes made by the World Health Organization (WHO) to go after President Trump. During Tuesday's coronavirus task-force briefing, Trump said he may put a "very powerful hold" on funding to the WHO as he lashed out at the United Nations specialized agency and accused it of "being very China-centric" amid the coronavirus pandemic. Reiterating his complaints from a tweet earlier in the day, the president said the WHO "has been wrong about a lot things." Trump has been critical of...

    What if the CDC were only reporting the CCP-19 exact numbers(supposedly) of those "They Tested" who are infected? See, infected might mean this virus is just on your skin or you may be asymptomatic. Would they be lying? Well, no. Not in a literaly sense but, if you look at how they determine how many sick and dead people get, had or died from influenza you might think "These guys must scientists!" Well, they are epidemiologists and a bit like biologists in their methodology. This going to be over simplified That is: They make determinations about populations of whatever a...

    ... A much less echoed, although less radical, scenario is that the current outbreak is related to a lab accident involving disease transmission experiments intended for peaceful purposes. As mentioned earlier, coronaviruses are generally studied at biosafety level 2 and sometimes 3, including the 2003 SARS-CoV. Coronaviruses are not typically highly hazardous—the dangerous ones are not highly infectious and the highly infectious ones are not deadly. SARS-CoV-2 happens to be an exception, although it is not extremely fatal, as many other viruses are. ...

    Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett (D-Detroit) was sick for weeks before she was officially diagnosed with COVID-19. She had a relentless headache and what she described as an “uncomfortable” and “weird” throat. She didn’t have a fever, and she could smell and taste. A loss of some of those senses have been reported by other coronavirus victims. Whitsett, and one of the doctors who initially treated her, thought she had a sinus infection. They were wrong. Her illness reached a breaking point on March 31, which happened to be the same day she took the COVID-19 test. She had already...

    Fox host Laura Ingraham and two of her regular medical guests—cardiologist Ramin Oskoui and infectious disease specialist Stephen Smith—reportedly met privately with U.S. President Donald Trump and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn last Friday to persuade him to endorse the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for coronavirus, according to The Washington Post. Ingraham has been promoting the drug as a potential treatment to coronavirus on her Fox News show and has referred to the two aforementioned doctors as her "medicine cabinet." During the meeting, Smith said he showed Trump documents and "a detailed presentation" about hydroxychloroquine's...
