Trump talks very soon, very quick

Also, in Donald Trump's news conference, there were repeated uses of the words "soon" and "quick" to describe the end of coronavirus... 

Dr. Fauci still skeptical over hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine

A rambling, sometimes incoherent coronavirus news conference was held yesterday by "Dr." Donald Trump, who professes to know more than the doctors who advise him, this time doing it without his top COVID-19 aide, Dr. Anthony Fauci. I believe one of Fauci's last comments was that he didn't want to embarrass Trump, going on to try and explain why he doesn't correct his boss during press conferences. Was this his swan song?

In Monday's news conference, the Oval Office lunatic was touting his latest finding that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, both of which are used to treat malaria, could also work to cure coronavirus. Dr. Fauci says any results on its success so far are anecdotal, which might account for the fact he was shuttered today. By the way, if we lose this man, we lose all access to accurate information on the status of COVID-19 in the U.S. Dr. Fauci...

"Fauci’s statements at a White House briefing Friday amounted to clinical cold water thrown on the president’s repeated upbeat assessments on the U.S. fight against the virus, also known as COVID-19."

Here's Trump's news conference, if you have the stomach...

It should also be noted that in Phoenix, a man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks, also touted as a possible coronavirus  cure. The medication was self-ingested and one must wonder if they were Trump supporters. Banner Health reports they both were treated there and made this statement...

“We are strongly urging the medical community to not prescribe this medication to any non-hospitalized patients,” said Dr. Brooks.

Fish tank cleaner?

The CDC says...

"a single 'small study' shows the combination helped against the SARS strain that causes Covid-19, the CDC said, but 'did not assess clinical benefits.'"

The agency also commented that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine taken in combination...

"can disrupt the heart's electrical activity and warns against prescribing the paired drugs to anyone with chronic medical conditions, such as renal failure or hepatic disease."

While Donald Trump rushes ahead on the two medications for market approval, the health community, including Trump's own CDC, move cautiously urging that more testing be done. New York begins trials this week for the two drugs plus the antibiotic azithromycin. The healthcare community says don't be too optimistic, but the New York region is desperate, having been recently designated the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. We can only wish the tests luck!
