So the “you’re rooting for the virus” sort of idiots who come out of the woodwork when I criticize the promotion of unproven #Hydroxychloroquine for #COVID19 also exist for economics. Lovely.

I think the concern is that you don’t seem particularly concerned about any of the other multiple unproven meds being used Experimentally to treat coronavirus. Wonder why that would be...

None of them are being incessantly promoted as the cure (hint: it isn't) by POTUS. BIG difference. YUGE.

I guess I missed where Trump promoted it as a "cure." Do you happen to have a reference?

March 21, Trump said it has a "real chance to be one of the biggest game-changers in history." Quoted by a variety of news outlets. Hint: It's not. How do we know? 1. China 1st reported it. Didn't change their game. 2. It's being used ALREADY in hospitals empirically. No change

If
#Hydroxychloroquine truly had the super dramatic “game changing” antivirus activity against#COVID19 claimed by some proponents, we would have seen it in the existing small trials. We didn’t. It’s therefore likely that its activity, if there even is any, is modest at best.8 replies 11 retweets 47 likes -
Or we would’ve at least seen hints of such activity. We didn’t.

Modest in certain situations, like helping to prevent people with severe illness from getting cathed. That's my uninformed guess, based on the anecdotal reports, willing (hoping, even) to be proved wrong by the data.

Based on what we know now, I think it’s more likely that it doesn’t work, but I hope my educated guess turns out to be wrong.
