1. Excellent news! Until it goes through clinical trials and is proven safe for treatment of CV19,

it shouldn't be used.

3. Politicians should not play scientists

What do the experts say?

Trump shouldn’t have been an idiot and those arizonans shouldn’t have sort of listened and taken something similar.

I have no idea but if the experts see value in trials in controlled setting to manage the dosages shouldn’t that be allowed? Can that be done and still keep snake oil salesmen and goobers from hurting people or themselves?

If there are enough trials going on then more aren’t needed and wait for enough data to be collected considering the urgency.

Again this is the type of guidance the feds should provide. Let states decide ultimately but what is seen as best practice right now? That’s what trump ought to be grilling the cdc on.

4. Thanks to my Governor!

I would not volunteer for either of those and glad it can't be done at all.

Way too little to go on and you know damn well there is some $ angle behind
this push.

5. I must write Gov. Newsom to ask he do this in CA as well. My wife uses hydroxychloroquine for RA...

and her supply grows smaller each day with little sign she'll be able to get her prescription renewed.

6. Doctors are writing prescriptions to themselves and hording it.

It's disgusting.

Hope Governors do something about that.

7. I've heard of this. I heard too that hospitals are hoarding. It's gotten so bad . . .

I understand Bayer in Germany had to send the FDA 3 million units to ensure it will have enough on hand for its testing against CV19.
