From the linked article, above. How do you feel about the govt. controlling access to required medications?
"Several manufacturers have pledged to donate tens of millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine, or Plaquenil, the brand version, or chloroquine. The pharmaceutical manufacturer Novartis Sandoz has increased its donation pledge from 20 million doses to as many as 130 million doses, which includes both its current stock and supply expected from increased production through May. Access to the donated supply is controlled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “Any requests from new customers go to HHS,” says Linda Krystek, from Novartis customer operations department. She says the company is referring to HHS the many requests it is receiving from health organizations, hospitals and doctor offices.
"Michelle Petri, MD, a rheumatologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in Baltimore, says she would never want her patients to stop a disease-modifying drug or reduce frequency or doses to conserve pills. “Systemic lupus erythematosus patients cannot ‘ration’ their drug, as that would lead to subtherapeutic hydroxychloroquine blood levels and loss of efficacy,” she says.
“It should not be forgotten that SLE is the fifth or sixth leading cause of death in African-American and Hispanic-American young women. Hydroxychloroquine is the only SLE treatment shown in multiple studies to improve survival in SLE.” "
As for the TP comment, I am waiting for #COVID45 to start tossing rolls out into the audience during one of his MeSoPerfect pressers.
