Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Who in their right mind would go into their cabinet, believe that this is the same as a prescription drug and ingest it?

I have no words for those that would.

Neither do I.

Lol why are you so mad? So he gave a positive outlook and now you're all mad. You thrive off of doom and gloom.

Not directed at me but Trump is pouring sugar on turds here, any rational person should be able to decipher why. If you want to take a bite, by all means do so but calling people "mad" for pointing it out that he's peddling false hope and untested treatments in order to salvage his economy and reputation may make you feel better, but they make you look silly.

 

[Purple Tiger]

LOL

yep, Trumps fault

Again, Trump should not have specifically mentioned chloroquine. He was trying to show off and act like he knew something.

Wrong again. The drug had not been tested for COVID when Trump mentioned it.

Actually it was. It was a small test but showed promising results. This was the study Trump touted when it he first started mentioning the drug.

Click on the link for a possible explanation of why the Gov. of Nevada has banned the sale of chloroquine:

Doctors Are Hoarding Unproven Coronavirus Medicine by Writing Prescriptions for Themselves and Their Families — ProPublica

His ban isn't going to prevent this. So thanks for further proof his ban is stupid.

Why do people have 2 years worth of TP? Doctors have the ability to overreact just like anyone else

How do we know the doctors are overreacting? Is the governor not overreacting by making the drug unavailable to covid19 patients not overreacting?

It's in testing and people ask every day about what they are doing to combat it. Testing might take a month. If he was vague about it, hed get criticized too. This isnt just his economy, it's all of ours and people are losing their jobs daily. If he wasnt trying to help salvage the economy, he wouldn't be doing his job.

How about the press? Should they not have mentioned it either?

You're putting the cart before the horse.

It doesn't matter one iota what a French study says. The FDA must test and approve the drug as a treatment of COVID before it can be used. That had not happened when Trump opened his mouth.

 

[Purple Tiger]

No, he's tying the cart to a hitching post.

Banning a use of the drug isn't banning the drug nor will it prevent drs from prescribing and hoarding it like the article said. So his reasoning for the ban is idiotic.

Nor was it being prescribed or described as approved. it was described as "very promising" and then the next day "It may work, it may not work. I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling"

Of course the ban will prevent doctors from hoarding drugs. Pharmacies cannot fill a prescription for a banned medication.

"LOL Stanford.".. said virtually every Republican, until this article....

His explanation was he's keeping it available for those already using it to treat their illnesses

I think the NV Gov will have am egg on his face for this tbh. Not because of the virus but other uses.

He didn't BAN THE MEDICATION. He banned using the medication to treat 1 particular illness.

I know, we are all supposed to be on board that we will all be dead within a month. Sorry to interrupt the hide in the bunker crowd.

Haven't read the reasoning... is it because it's not FDA approved yet?

 

[Purple Tiger]

Right, because there are malaria outbreaks in the desert.

He should stay in his lane when it comes to treatment and defer to the experts, never forget that his background is in sales and television. Giving unwarranted hope doesn't help the economy or maintain jobs, it's times like these where all of the lies he's told for the last three years roost squarely on his credibility. The words that come out of his mouth now are just noise because he's established himself as a shameless self promoter who will do and say anything to prop himself up.

Dude, I hope you and those Stanford Doctors are right. Pretty sure Trump will cite them as reason to plan for the Easter Jamboree.
