..... Trump said he was pushing through a "right to try" plan that would increase access to experimental drugs and vaccines. Key points: - TRUMP SAYS FDA HAS APPROVED CHLOROQUINE FOR USE IN COVID-19 - TRUMP: FDA HAS APPROVED `COMPASSIONATE USE' FOR SOME PATIENTS - TRIALS ARE UNDERWAY FOR NEW REMEDIES - TRUMP SAYS PROMISING THERAPIES PRODUCED BY GILEAD “President Trump announced on Thursday the US will IMMEDIATELY make the drug Chloroquine available to treat US coronavirus patients! President Trump made the announcement at the daily Coronavirus press conference in the White House. The president added that chloroquine has shown, “very, very encouraging results” in treating the coronavirus! New York Governor Cuomo has agreed to start using the drug in his state immediately!” See: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...ry-very-encouraging-early-results-video/

Unavailable from both my wholesalers. Results may be encouraging, but toilet paper is easier to find in stock.

Watched most of this, was struck by Trump's manner and behaviour. Clear and to the point, and defered to the experts on his staff for both talking points and answers to questions. Sign of a leader. Short, clear answers, and let others speak as appropriate.

He was clear, calm, in command and did not shy from calling a spade a spade, i.e., "the Chinese virus".

He has a confident manner. I hope it helps calm the panic.

Our hospital moved hydroxychloroquine into the vault a week ago so there would be none of it walking out the door. We are inventorying it just like a narcotic and it's under camera surveillance 24/7. It MAY help in some cases. It's not a cureall.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

I was up fairly early, on Fox business they presented a M.D. With the claim I. France 🇫🇷 they found flaquinell and z max ( an macrolide antibiotic) had astounding results.
The resident fox doctor agreed it had promise. My mother was on flaquinell for years as a lupus paitient. It caused vision problems, but hopefully they know that now.
It totally makes sense to me! Secondary pneumonia is what kills! Cover with antiobiotics early...always worked for me.

It could be the miracle we have been praying for. Let’s hope and pray so. If we can stem the tide and make everyone safe but especially our youngest and oldest...a miracle in its own

Chloroquine has been around for a very long time. Chances are if you knew someone who fought in the South Pacific or later on in RVN and contracted malaria, this is what they got. Now it's used mostly for RA, but there isn't a huge patient population for RA so there isn't a bunch on hand. DJT has directed them to ramp up production. It's been studied along with a couple other anti-virals to fight COVID-19 pneumonia - which is what people are dying from.
Hydroxychloroquine study has shown "rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious". It's safer and more effective than chloroquine. Combining it with the antibiotic azithromycin, the number of those still carrying the COVID-19 virus at 6 days were just 5% of the patients. Pretty gawd-damned impressive.
Edited to add: No idea how much of the stuff is made in China. Could be the reason their death rate has diminished.

There have been several doctors on Fox news who've basically stated this is the cure, citing a study in France as well as ongoing studies in Australia and China. One was a doctor at a NY hospital with a sizable coronavirus patient population, and he seemed sold that chloroquin was the key. Laura Ingram talked to another doctor who described one case where it reversed a near death patient like he was Lazarus. Trump and his team have been discussing it in their briefings to the media and I've read that they're asking for ramp up in it's production. I have two doctors in my family who while they aren't treating coronavirus patients, have said that it's being widely used in treatments, almost as if it's the unofficial treatment / cure.
But I don't get it... if this does in fact have so much potential, why did the market tank again today? Why are we are shutting down entire states? Why are we allowing the economy to get wrecked? You'd think that some of this would start to get turned around with such a potential, even if it is just a potential. I understand that it hasn't gone through all the necessary clinical trials as a treatment for coronavirus but given what's at stake... our entire national solvency and supposedly tens of thousand of lives... you'd think they'd toss some caution to the wind. Especially since the drug has been around ~70 years and is well understood.
What am I missing here???

Because it doesn’t work until you actually get sick. Cure, not preventative.
That means there’s always a chance that they will not have enough of it. Enough people get sick all systems get strained.

Right, but all the more reason to kick things into gear and treat it with the utmost urgency. We're taking extreme measures with the Defense Production act for equipment and supplies. You'd think this would be at the top of the list, do whatever it takes now, to get production pumping as much of this stuff out as possible while the infected numbers are still manageable. And there doesn't seem to be that kind of urgency, which is odd.
