The treating of Covid-19 with Hydroxychloroquine is a mentioned possibility simply because it has helped similar viruses, but it is not proven to help this and needs some test runs. It hasn't been dismissed. It is only a possibility and it isn't a safe and simple cure.
Trump was running off at the mouth and speaking prematurely about a possibility that was mentioned in a briefing that might be explored. This is not a coverup, or the usual FDA approval corruption. If the drug could be used, it would be. It might be used prematurely and it could complicate illness and cause people to die. It has not been proven at all to treat Corona19.
I knew that a form of virus pandemic would come sooner or later, the CDC knew that and it was well publicized. We needed measures to prepare for such an outbreak. Now, Trump lies and tells us, "Who knew?" He blatantly gutted the budget of the agency that addresses these issues of pandemic as malarkey using the kill big government drum beat. That is why we are not prepared AT ALL for this. He is scared and in denial of what is going on. He is losing his money, in fear. He is in fear of looking bad for elections and doing a poor job. He appears to me to be thinking even less straight than usual. Things are getting done in spite of him, while he Bullshits, minimizes the facts and wishes that the economy doesn't tank, but it will to some strong degree.
One thing about his reaction to this is certain. To save himself, he will throw anyone and everyone under the bus. This has always been his pattern throughout life.
Trump is not in control, or getting things done, he knows that and is saying any shot in the dark BS to smooth things out. I'm with you, I'm not a fan of the FDA, but this isn't corruption. It is Trump's rhetoric captured by zealot rumors from hasty conclusions, starting with Trump and now some of his supporters.
Our president is merely putting out statements with a slip of his tongue to look like he is getting things done and give some hope to people who react emotionally (like the stock market) to his performance, which has been pitiful. He knows that he gets lots of blame when things go badly, so he lies and bullshits to minimize what is going on. He isn't listening to experts and is dismissing important facts, not the other way around. He is seeing things crashing down and is in self-interested fear himself.
He just wants to say, "Okay, the shows over, everybody go home." But it is not anywhere near over and there will likely be a repeat performance. The damn fool has had to be repeatedly corrected by experts as he rambled on, misinformed and stained his pants watching the stockmarket, That is what is going on with "our president." (He is not my president, it is a corrupted political system.) He is doing a tremendously bad job, he isn't even looking like it, which is the one thing thing that he has been good at...and divisively bullying of others.
I'd like that malaria cure to work across the line, too. I hear you, I feel what you feel, but I can't agree with you on this.
We're on a ride that won't stop to let us off. He is, too.
