Trump says he's been taking hydroxychloroquine

[TLK Valentine]

Those Malaria patients are still taking an unproven drug? Poor people!

Good thing they don't have COVID-19 as well. Some folks have no luck at all.

That's how attention was drawn to that drug. Areas of the world where Malaria is an issue and the drug for it was being taken, Coronavirus cases were almost nonexistent.

"In various studies, the drug has demonstrated antiviral activity, an ability to modify the activity of the immune system, and has an established safety profile at appropriate doses, leading to the hypothesis that it may also be useful in the treatment of COVID-19. The drug is not without risks as even short term use can cause cardiac arrythmias, seizures, dermatological reactions, and hypoglycemia."
NIH clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine, a potential therapy for COVID-19, begins



"Doctors in China who administered chloroquine to patients with COVID-19 noted that those patients were more likely to have shorter hospital stays and improved outcomes. French investigators found that patients with COVID-19 who were treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were virologically cured after 6 days."

I don't see anything about prevention in those articles.

Nice goad.

Nice goad.

I'm sorry that you feel it was goading, I will edit it. It was an expression of exasperation that everything seems to be slight against Trump.

And you know for a fact that hydroxychloroquine is the reason for that.

By all means, share your research.

One of the major side effects is significant hair loss, which should be interesting.

No challenge for the king of comb overs.

Two of my friends who listened to Trump commanding churches to reopen on Friday he sounded Breathless and had a higher voice and that he left the stage after a few minutes, leaving his press secretary to answer the questions. They thought he might have the virus since I didn't hear him I couldn't Venture a judgement. If he does have the virus he will try to keep it secret

If he does have the virus he will try to keep it secret

If he's got the virus he's going to stay off the airwaves for a while.

He and the country can recuperate together.

It most be pointed out that .... given his relationship with truth... that the President isn’t taking the drug.... just sayin’

Actually, it reminds me of something a friend said: Donald heard the drug stops "Malaria," and mistook it for his wife's name...

He didn't command churches to open. He simply told the governors to allow them to, and said he would override them if they didn't.
First Amendment doesn't allow government to prohibit people from peaceably assembling in church.

...which he doesn't have the authority to do.

it can shut down any and all non-essential services during a declared national emergency.

You'd think God of all people could arrange home delivery?

And just what do you believe to be "nonessential"? How many of the rights protected under the Constitution, which has been protected and fought for by the men and women we celebrate on this Memorial Day, are so nonessential that they can be done away with indefinately when a national emergency is declared?

A question that clearly illustrates how little your side cares about freedom being infringed upon when it's not their own.

Constitution doesn't allow him that; he still doesn't know his place.

Anything not essential for day-to-day survival. Now, I will agree that there have been some rather silly distinctions made regarding what is or isn't "essential," but from personal experience, I've lived without church for decades...

I wasn't aware the right to make people sick was Constitutional... although given the current presidency, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Hey, my religious freedom is infringed upon every day!

As I consider the human body to be God's most glorious creation -- made in His image, no less -- I consider it a sin to conceal it with clothing.

Alas, I can only exercise my religious freedom at home (or at Gunnison Beach, but the weather's still a bit chilly for that). Whom do I sue?

According to your logic, our "New Normal" constitution could say something to the effect of, "From each according to his ability (as long as he's essential), to each according to his needs". Leave out all that garbage about life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

I hope that's not what you'd consider to be your best talking point to defend your position.

If you're interested in exercising your "religious right" in the middle of NY City, I wish you well in your practice.
