    Default FDA approves chloroquine treatment for COVID

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pol...ia-drug-155095

    If it even has a hope of efficacy there’s no reason not to.

    It’s going to be an ‘FDA trial on the run’.

    Here in WV our case numbers are climbing slowly [went from 117-124 over the weekend] but we have our first death [88 year old]. There’s reason for optimism here because our actual infection number was apparently still pretty low when the shutdown started so there is reason to expect our peak will stay low with respect to some other regions.

    Back to work later today. Took some time off since there’s basically nothing for me to do since they cancelled all elective surgeries. We run 12 OR’s under normal circumstances so there’s way too many people standing/sitting waiting around if there are no elective surgeries, so yeah.

    It should probably occur to someone that it makes no sense to practice social distancing only to go to work and hang out with a bunch of people who may be high risk.

    Destroys your narrative about the FDA, didn't it?

    Indeed.

    Elective surgery will be a thing of the past for a while.

    Always Trump. Why do his supporters always bring him up?

    Well, apart from the fact Trump brought it up, what’s the reason to ‘not give’ chloroquine to COVID patients when there is at least some reason to suspect it might be an effective treatment?

    You must have been living in a cave for the last month or so then!! On here you've had McSquawker, Loony Central, Bozoman, CINNIcal BARstard, Arsecheese, Joan of Snark, Croc 'o Shit, Nonads, Dumber69 and several others denying its efficacy just because Trump mentioned it!

    Did he yield to the doctors and scientists?

    What else can we surmise after you obviously stated the FDA is not needed?
