    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This feels a lot like when Trump shot his mouth off about injecting disinfectant and getting ultraviolet light inside the lungs in some way. Trump adherents carpeted the internet with earnest posts about how Trump had just independently invented chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

    Then Trump said he had just meant it sarcastically and made all his adherents look stupid.

    Sometimes you have to pwn the pwners to keep them in line.

    Your welcome.....just because someone doesn't totally agree or has a certain slant on something doesn't mean the Global Moderator needs to be sarcastic.

    and the difference between trumps condition (stupidity) and Coumo's condition (actually contracting covid 19) is apples to oranges mags. You're smart enough to realize that aren't you?

    Heck, trump will just flat out deny he said it even if it is on tape the same day or day before.

    By no means taking sides but I think it's safe to say that we're all a bit out of sorts because of this virus thing.

    A fishing & hunting buddy of mine had inquired with his doctor about Viagra and was told by the doc he wouldn't prescribe as he was on blood pressure meds. His doc retired not to long ago and his new doc said its was safe for him to take. Just use in moderation and watch your blood pressure. He was very skeptical and a bit confused about trying he say's, but he also said he's always been a pro choice advocate and he used that reasoning to decide to experiment. He's still alive after about 2 months.

    It's hard to tell the President of the United States 'NO' when he insists on something.
    I've learned that the drug can give people heart arrhythmia which can andand has no discernible efficacy in treating Covid-19. People can die from it so I just can't see the doctor saying "Yeah, that's a great idea!"
    I wonder if firing Dr. Bright had anything to do with that change of stance. It's not wise to cross Trump.

    Wisconsin woman says she got coronavirus despite taking hydroxychloroquine for years
    President Trump has frequently touted the drug as a potential prophylactic for the virus. This week, the president said that he has been taking it in combination with a zinc supplement as a preventative measure.
    she said. “I’m like, ‘How can I be sick? How? I’m on the hydroxychloroquine.’ They were like, ‘Well, nobody’s ever said that was the cure or that was going to keep you safe’ and it definitely did not.”

    If hydroxychloroquine doesn't work, then it's hydroxychloroquine's fault. We need to put the blame where it belongs!

    It's bad enough that he claims he is taking HCQ, but actually pushing others to take it is just galactically stupid.

    "Try it, what have you got to lose"?

    It makes no sense that he's pushing this drug. I could understand if it had significant evidence that it works, but it doesn't. If anything, it has significant evidence it's really not safe to take.
