As trump pushes hyped antiviral chloroquine, many in other countries are believing it and starting to overdose......

In recent days, President Donald Trump has embraced chloroquine and its derivative hydroxychloroquine as a “game changer” after a small clinical trial in France showed promise of the drugs’ effectiveness in treating the viral infection. While Trump has hyped the medications as potential cures, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert has expressed hesitancy, noting that the findings are merely anecdotal and that more studies and trials are needed.

During Monday’s broadcast of the president’s favorite morning show, however, celebrity doctor Dr. Oz excitedly shared with the Fox News audience that he had spoken with French doctor behind the trial that’s thrilled Trump and he agrees that it is indeed a “game changer.”

Lou Dobbs Said Media Hyped Coronavirus. Now He’s in Quarantine.

After Oz, who has a history of “dispensing misinformation” on his show, said that he would be working alongside other universities and clinics to start trials soon, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade brought up Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attempts to temper expectations of the drugs’ abilities to combat the coronavirus, wondering what was “going on there” since it appears there’s no “downside” since it isn’t “hurting people.” (Nigerian health officials have, in fact, issued a warning after three people overdosed on chloroquine.)

Oz, meanwhile, said that while he respects Fauci he feels comfortable hyping the drug treatment because “the data is so strong” and Americans will be taking it anyway now that it’s been advertised.

Trump and his lackeys will always push the narrative and dispense false hopes and unfounded facts. In the grand scheme of things , we have a president that we cannot trust . The FDA put out a statement that chloroquine is not recognized nor recommended for any use concerning covid 19. Trump was also stating how “ hard it is for rich people to run for office “ . As relief stalls on the hill , Republicans look for company provisions first over workers , bailouts that could open ways for companies to buy back stock and possibly firing their workers . Democratics continue to push for hard safeguards for the workers left in the wake. Many corporations are there with their hands out , including trump’s own hotel and business ventures. Bottom line , President Trump doesn’t care for people , only the market and the rich .... from wealthy ( including the head of the N.Y. stock exchange ) using insider tips to dump stock to possible patent seizures on drugs and “ govt. owned “ companies . Even as medical supplies WILL deplete within the week. Seriously. Medical supplies are ordered and some country will outbid on them and they are shipped away . It is the reality.

Trump doesn’t care about you .... we are collateral damage in his quest to be re-elected and continued effort to enrich the wealthy by any means necessary. Trump is worse than COVID 19 .... He alone brings death.

This is all I have to know about that fool

Appearing on the March 2 edition of “Fox and Friends,” the surgeon general said he remained “convinced that more people are going to die by far from the flu than from coronavirus — not only in our country, but across the planet.” At the time, public health officials were urging Americans to stop comparing the new outbreak to the flu, noting that it minimized the risk of the far more deadly coronavirus, but Trump had used the comparison to allay concerns.
Trump sure can pick 'em

Just got back from the market now & finished stocking up with around 3 weeks worth of food.
I was actually surprised too see most everyone wearing gloves & around half wearing masks.( COVID-19 is in my town)
I felt like a pariah because I wasn't wearing any PPD's (Personal Protection Devices) & had too hold back my smoking induced cough because I didn't want to be stared at, or even worse, beaten.
Welcome to the new World

I take ZERO chances , being diabetic , I shopped a couple days ago .... simple get in and get the fuck out kind of run. Many , I mean MANY were not masked yet alone gloved. I managed to have at least a couple boxes of nitrile gloves and a few 3M 8210 masks ( from work ) to wear . Literally people watching ..... customers pushing baby carriages, carting all of their kids with them , openly sneezing. My wife had to go pick up a 3 month run of meds so I went with her to ensure at no point remove mask ( she is not familiar using PPE ) .

I told her not to worry about how we looked .... I told her to think of it in the same way of handling firearms .... Consider ALL public being considered ( loaded ) and not safe. Just watching the interaction and frivolous behavior was scary ... store associates not protected , handling cash , licking fingers to open bags to fill , greeters ( elderly ) , even the poor sap wrangling cart “ trains “ openly grabbing handles without care.

I may be overthinking it but I cannot risk it . Being a vet also , I am trying to stay away from the VA hospital as much as possible. And have called to insist on continued refills ( even those that need case worker auth ) so I do not have to go in person.
