Trump says he will finish his hydroxychloroquine regimen 'in a day or two'
Source: USA Today
"I think its two days. Two days," Trump said from the Cabinet Room at the White House.
Trump had announced Monday that he was taking hydroxychloroquine, a drug that he's repeatedly touted as a treatment for coronavirus despite warnings about its effectiveness, as a prophylaxis against the coronavirus.
Trump, who said he has tested negative for COVID-19, stated Monday he had been taking the drug daily for about a week and a half as an added measure to avoid getting the coronavirus. He said the White House physician "didn't recommend" hydroxychloroquine but offered it to him.

Trump's claim stirred up a storm online and on cable television, with an array of doctors, journalists and politicians issuing stern warnings to others after the president's revelation, pointing out the drug's ineffectiveness against the coronavirus in a few recent studies and long list of potentially dangerous side effects.

We don't stop taking BP meds because we get 120/70.
The meds are why that BP is OK.

(38,601 posts)Valet tests positive around May 7, Trump freaks out, demands a cure in case hes been exposed, doc reasons that theres a 2-week incubation, so 2 weeks should do it.
I can kind of see it playing out that way.
Except Trump lies even when the truth makes a better story, so who knows.

(70,447 posts).... would corner the market on the drug that could "cure" the coming C-19 pandemic and now they
are stuck with it. Except for Trump's eyes now looking dead and he seems to be shrinking when I
hear him speak about H.C.Q. I keep thinking, "Act before midnight tonight and we will send you a
2nd self coiling extra strong garden hose for free you just pay for its shipping and handling."
It is all gas lighting and a con job.

It was revealed that the drug was actually a fake and he wants to use it up before someone finds out.

(397 posts)For an unproven use of a drug, in the face of a new virus.
This combined with Trumps repeated attempts to flesh out his claims of how, when and why, he was taking it, leads me to believe he was lying when he said he was taking it.
