Why aren't all hospitalized cornonavirus patients given this drug immediately? If it doesn't work on them, it doesn't work but so much promise that it could.

It can also hurt them if not dosed properly. This isn't like take two advil and call me in the morning.

Risk of side effect, plus there isn't a lot of it to begin with and patients with other conditions, proven to be helped by the medication, need it.

And its an essential drug for other medical illnesses. Like Lupus patients who take it to I don't know...LIVE.

please stop inventing reasons you don't want this drug to work because we all know it's because trump advertised it.

I'm not inventing reasons it won't work. I don't know if it it will. I hope it does. I'm telling you why it can't just be handed out to every case right now. There isn't enough of it and other people will suffer if we do that.

On a related note: Please stop trying to get an Rx for this to take "just in case." I have lupus and had to scramble all weekend to get another month's supply. After eight attempts, I found a pharmacy that was refusing to fill prescriptions for anyone who hadn't already been on it before last week. The pharmacist told me that a dentist had attempted to prescribe it for all of his friends and family. Lupus patients CANNOT suddenly discontinue their meds.

Nigeria is warning that it sickened patients.

no, he is not a doctor so what? he is not going to administer it personally.

a lot of doctors are prescribing it. a lot of doctors were scoffing at covid in january explaining that it's was just like the flu. so was trump. but clearly being a doctor doesn't equal good sense or ability to adapt to circumstances.

This is exactly what I was saying earlier in this thread. People taking it because it might work will be causing people who definitely need it to go without. People need to stop being so horribly selfish. I'm glad you got your meds.

And malaria.

Op, it would be nice to think that there’s a readily available medicine for this virus. There isn’t.

omg you can overdose on tylenol - people actually use it to kill themselves. you can die from drinking too much water. the drug has been approved by FDA for decades. its side effects are extremely well understood. stop acting like trump pulled it out of his ass.

A lot of doctors are NOT prescribing it for covid-19. Stop spreading lies.

The dangers of a bloviating, self-interested idiot like Trump spouting haf-truths about untested drugs in an effort to save his own hid are obvious. You're determined not to notice them? Fine. Don't take drugs out of the hands of the people who actually need them.
