I’ve been hopeful for CQ/HCQ since the French small study came out about 10 days ago... but i wish Trump hadn’t tweeted about it. Now we are being inundated with “CQ can kill you!” headlines, and people are trying to hoard it, harming the people already relying on it.

If you read the list of side effects for basically any drug on WebMD, you’d never take any medication again.

We just need to be patient and let the doctors/scientists do their work. Doesn’t mean we can’t be hopeful though.

I watched that press conference. He was trying to give hope to people and was optimistic. He even said he views things in the glass half full positive way. Even Dr Fauci said that they don't disagree - he just wants to see more studies because he's a scientist. It's the media's fault for trying to sensationalize it. I have pretty much stopped reading the media. They have cried wolf too many times now.
