Well well.
“What do you have to lose?” he says. Uh huh. Besides your health, your sanity, perhaps your eyesight and maybe your life?
From Washington Post’s running update on the coronavirus pandemic,
Professor Émile Ferrari, the head of the cardiology department at Nice University Hospital in Nice, France, told a local news outlet he has had to stop treating patients with hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin because of adverse cardiac effects.
Nice University Hospital was selected as part of a trial to test some coronavirus treatments, including hydroxychloroquine. Ferrari told Nice-Martin that one patient experienced a serious complication and the treatment was immediately stopped.
In the U.S., doctors have recommended screening patients with an electrocardiogram to prevent the drug from being given to the 1 percent of patients at the greatest risk of a cardiac event, The Post has reported. The drugs also can cause vision loss called retinopathy with long-term use, and chloroquine has been associated with psychosis.

Jeez Louise people.
The President of the United States of America has been on live TV for days hawking these pills as if he’s the barker in an old time medicine show. Meanwhile he attacks anybody and everybody who needs help — particularly governors who are desperately trying to save the lives of the American people, who need equipment, PPE for health care professionals and other workers, and above all widespread testing capabilities. Without tests we can’t know what exactly is going on, who can safely return to work, who can even go back outside without fear of infecting the neighborhood.
Trump is an asshole.
He threatens to defund WHO and admits that even the foolish Navarro warned about the coronavirus pandemic, claims he had the same thoughts on the matter, etc:

I don’t know what to say anymore.
Between this and the GOP assault on our democracy it’s going to be a miracle if we survive as a functioning Republic.
But we’ve got to try to take care of each other and figure out a way to GOTV safely in all 50 states.
Then if we win I propose adding Washington DC and Puerto Rico so we have 52 states.
Why not?
