A nationwide shortage of two drugs touted as possible treatments for the coronavirus is being driven in part by doctors inappropriately prescribing the medicines for family, friends and themselves, according to pharmacists and state regulators.
Demand for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine surged over the past several days as Trump promoted them as possible treatments for the coronavirus and online forums buzzed with excitement over a small study suggesting the combination of hydroxychloroquine and a commonly used antibiotic could be effective in treating COVID-19.
Two people in Arizona used a different form of chloroquine. One has died and the other is in critical condition.
These things happen when you listen to a snake oil conman.
The U.S. Constitution is clear:
“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased [sic] during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.”
So why hasn't Mark Meadows resigned from Congress?
I believe everything you say HockeyTeeth.
But to answer your question, desperate people due desperate things during desperate times. Trump should not be the "go to guy" for medical advice during this crisis.
If he wants to introduce people on the stage so he get his necessary ego stroke, OK fine. That's his oxygen. But he shouldn't be allowed to discuss medical issues.
The drug has a 100% cure rate. The reason it is vilified can be found looking at big pharma. Bill Melinda Gates foundation has several patents re: covid 19.
Bill Gates has been pushing a depopulation agenda for some time. Old people are a burden on society. They do not contribute to the economy outside of paying taxes.
The virus is designed to eliminate the elderly. Children with a underdeveloped immune system should be dying. Why aren't they.
If you can eliminate the sector of the population that is not contributing, how do you replace them.
Mass imigration, increase tax base. Lower wages.
The Chinese released a virus to allow them to quarrantine the masses. No more USA chants in Hong Kong or mainland China.
The bat soup hysteria is a smoke screen. The virus was brought into the market but did not originate there.
Do you find it odd that the Bill Melinda Gates foundation hosted a symposium about how to deal with a corona virus outbreak in Nov 2019? Among the topics offered was about how the media should respond. The media is now pushing verbatim the propoganda coming out of Beiging.
PS: i enjoy your contribution to this forum.
A new analysis released Tuesday shows that more U.S. workers filed unemployment claims last week than during any other week in the nation’s history.
An estimated 3.4 million Americans filed such claims for the week ending March 21, according to the findings from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
“This will dwarf every other week in history,” wrote EPI’s Aaron Sojourner and Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham, adding, “The true impacts are undoubtedly of larger scale than described here.”
Although Trump has asked Governors to suppress these numbers, the numbers are what they are & will only get worse.
HockeyTeeth I may miss one or two but let's take your comments from the top..
Bill Gates Depopulation...Politifact rates this a "Pants O Fire" bullshit story. You can go to that website to see what you think.
China Released the Virus..on Fox News and social media, a dangerous conspiracy theory about the origin of the health crisis won’t die.
There are two main versions of the rumor, and they have one common thread: that the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in a level 4 (the highest biosafety level) research laboratory in Wuhan.
In one version of the rumor, the virus was engineered in the lab by humans as a bio-weapon. In another version, the virus was being studied in the lab (after being isolated from animals) and then “escaped” or “leaked” because of poor safety protocol.
Jim LeDuc, head of the Galveston National Laboratory a Level 4 bio-safety lab in Texas, agrees with the hypothesis that the animal market played a role in the virus jumping to humans. “The linkage back to the market is pretty realistic, and consistent with what we saw with SARS,” said LeDuc. “It’s a perfectly plausible and logical explanation: The virus exists in nature and, jumping hosts, finds that it like humans just fine.“
A similar exercise was done by our government a year ago proving that the US was not prepared for an epidemic & nothing was done to address the issues outlined in the report. You can Google this to get all the details.
I use on the ground reports. Widely available through twitter. Unfiltered, doctors, citizens and such. Snopes is leftwing mouthpiece.
Where are the reporters in china that broke the story in wuhan? Do you accept. at face value they just changed tune? Where are the reporters now? The Chinese are ruthless, look at their history, their treatment of dissenters.
Who has a financial interest in the bio lab in wuhan? 20 km away a virus breaks out? Bat soup? Did you see videos of obviuolsy healthy people being dragged out of homes. Social media can be used for good. In China social media is a death sentence.
Florida Governor DeSantis declared visitors from NY/NJ must quarantine themselves for 14 days. Planes arriving from these areas will be met by the National Guard & BSO (Broward Sheriff Office) at the gate. They will fill out a questionnaire why they are here, who they are visiting, where they are staying and for how long. People can still drive into the state without facing this.
I appreciate the Governor's efforts but expecting tourists to self quarantine themselves when we can't even get Floridians to stay home is a tough situation to monitor.
For those of you who may have been furloughed or laid off and pay child support, you can call the office of the judge who issued the order, explain your situation & go on record that you want to but can't meet your obligation at this time. At least it will keep the cops away from your front door.
If the day care center you utilize remains open, if you choose not to bring your child to teh center you are still responsible for payment. The center may waive the cost but legally you are responsible.
There is still one Norwegian Cruise ship in the Atlantic headed to Miami. The ship has sick people on board but no tests available. The City of Miami is not allowing the ship to dock when it arrives. I'm pretty sure they will make some arrangements perhaps with the Coast guard to assist.
The medical ship, Mercy, is headed for Cali & will arrive in about a week.
Americans still won't stay home. People are coming out in droves to see the cherry blossoms in DC. Selfish farkers!
The UK's Boris Johnson took our General Russel Horore's suggestion to graduate all doctors and nurses in the country now rather than waiting until May. These resources will be put immediately to work on this virus.
Now why why why won't Trump listen to solid advice from people with far more experience in situations like this.
His fragile ego will cost American lives as medical personnel become increasingly ill & unable to help patients.
“Ford’s timeline suggested that if the administration had reacted to the acute shortage of ventilators in February, the joint effort between Ford and General Electric might have produced lifesaving equipment sometime in mid- to late April.”
So why would these 2 companies manufacture them if Trump wants everyone back to work by Easter? The ventilators won't be needed right?
Trumpsters?
President Trump says he’s the one who set Easter as the possible date for reopening the country. “I just thought it would be a beautiful time.”
Don't think, Just shut the fark up!
People will be planning their lives thinking they will be going back to work at that time & it won't happen.
This POS just wants to go back to his racist rallies, his cheating at golf and ripping off taxpayers while staying at his hotels.
Trump says if states want the federal government to be a good partner to them in fighting coronavirus, "they have to treat us well." This was Trump on FOX.
"Would we say that you could, as president, withhold disaster relief from a governor unless that governor got his attorney general to investigate the president’s political rival?” -Adam Schiff 1/29/2020 Hmm, withhold disaster relief?
"They have to treat us well?" WTF does that mean? Not criticize the shitty job you & your administration are doing?
Pathetic POS. What a lousy leader!
Seems very clear - from various angles - the President is trying to set this up so that the Governors are at fault for what happens in their states. Lots of deaths, that's on you. Economy stalls because you locked it down!
He'll blame anyone and everyone. He won't take any responsibility.
This "wartime" president is a coward!
