Wow, talk about loaded questions!
Trump was not so distracted by impeachment that he couldn't play lots of golf and hold lots of rallies. You are correct that the questions wouldn't be there at all if it was Obama or Biden standing there. Obama or Biden would have reacted much earlier and done an incredibly more competent job. Such questions wouldn't arise because we wouldn't have the fustercluck that the Administration has made much worse than it had to be.

Do you believe you would have been in a clearer frame of mind to respond to it back in January if the Democrats didn't have you distracted with their impeachment game?
how about "Mr. president if you're so bad at your job that you allowed yourself to be distracted from multiple warnings about an oncoming crisis yet still managed to hold rallies and go golfing why should you be re-elected?"

Dr. Fauci explains why Trump’s travel bans didn’t work and he was begging action as early as mid-January
I want to quote the whole thing. But I can't, so go read it. One highlight:

Italy was ahead of us by a good number 7 days ago. Now Italy is at around 18,899. I hope we DO ACTUALLY get a significant slow down in deaths,, so the projected 60,000 death hope is actually met. I don't know. I just don't know. Edited by LamarkNewAge, : No reason given.

Does anyone know if Hydroxychloroquine is being used with any cases of the virus? I heard one passing reference earlier today but nothing else.

A doctor who owns a nursing home down near Houston has ordered a supply and is treating some of his patients/residents with it. I will look for a link.

Thank you.
I heard some time ago that Cuomo had recommended its use in New York hospitals but I haven't heard anything about whether or not it has actually been used.

Please, you and everyone, stop pushing untested medicines like chloroqine and hydroxychorloquine. It has been explained that it must first be tested in peer-reviewed and statistically significant studies for safety and effectiveness. The FDA has granted an exception for compassionate use (i.e., a last resort measure for terminal patients), and that is more than enough.
Doctor's should not be prescribing untested medicines for any but the most desperate of cases. It's been explained why before, and Lockdowns in France and U.K. Expected to Last Into Next Month - The New York Times provides a good example. Here's a brief excerpt:
quote: These drugs are not safe because they have an adverse effect on a statistically significant number of patients. They may be effective, but we don't know yet. These drugs do hold promise because they were mildly effective for the closely related SARS and MERS viruses, so they do merit study to determine if and when these medicines should be prescribed. But for now they should only be used in the most desperate of cases because we do not want to make the death toll any worse than it already is. --Percy Edited by Percy, : Grammar.

BUT remember, any deaths from using a drug like those will not count as a covid-19 death and so is fine as far as the Orange Menace is concerned.

I thought I posted yesterday's data, but I guess I got busy and forgot. This information is two days after the previous update. Here's today's graph of infections in the US from ArcGIS Dashboards Classic as of 4/12. Still no signs of slowing at 555,300:
Here's today's a graph of deaths in the US from Cumulative Cases - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center as of 4/12. Again, no signs of slowing at 22,020, an increase of nearly 2000 from the day before:
Here's a map of infection cases across the US:

Sorry, there are plenty of medical people who have used it for decades for malaria and know it is safe. The cases where it has been used on COVID-19 have been overwhelmingly positive. Of course it could have adverse effects on some people but it's worked just fine for decades for malaria and all this panic about using it now is really just an excuse to complain about Trump who found out about it and promoted it. It's like you'd all rather let people die than use a drug Trump happened to hear about that has been used for half a century and has shown to work for this virus when tried.
