Dr. Oz spoke about " positive results from Chloroquine." I'll bet more people listen to him over trump.

hydroxychloroquine is also an ingredient in fish tank cleaner and people have been buying and drinking it. A man and his wife out west drank some and he died and she is in serious condition.

And there's why folks should not be on podiums on Nat'l TV talking about drugs that are "game changers". Well, it changed their game, now didn't it.

Not the speaker. Our stupid "Darwin Award Candidate" population. I'm sorry, but ignorance at that level deserves whatever they get. Would anyone on this board take that or any drug that is a HUGE maybe with unknown reactions when used indiscriminately? NO! You can't protect the people against their own ignorance no matter how hard you try.

Well, they heard it on TV, so it must be true.......... And, no. The speaker knowing contributed to this stupidity. Not letting him off the hook. Nope. Get in a position of national leadership and everything that comes out of your mouth matters.

Isn't this a HOOT.

Coronavirus: Mexicans demand crackdown on Americans crossing the border
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52053656

Mexican protesters have shut a US southern border crossing amid fears that untested American travellers will spread coronavirus.

Residents in Sonora, south of the US state of Arizona, have promised to block traffic into Mexico for a second day after closing a checkpoint for hours on Wednesday.

They wore face masks and held signs telling Americans to "stay at home".

Mexico has fewer than 500 confirmed Covid-19 cases and the US over 65,000.

The border is supposed to be closed to all except "essential" business, but protesters said there has been little enforcement and no testing by authorities.

The blockade was led by members of a Sonora-based group, Health and Life, who called for medical testing to be done on anyone who crosses from the US into Mexico.

Jose Luis Hernandez, a group member, told the Arizona Republic: "There are no health screenings by the federal government to deal with this pandemic. That's why we're here in Nogales. We've taken this action to call on the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to act now."

He's an easy target. He can't put a coherent sentence together, uses too many adjectives and just rambles on incessantly digging his ignorance hole even deeper. Poster child for the old saw. "better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt". But, to my knowledge, he didn't say it was the cure, he said it looked promising. Anyone who would run with that info is a fool. Just saying.

Iran has a cure for the virus. Methanol.

Unfortunately it kills the patient also.

Iran says it's trumps fault.

Reporter's notebook: How my dad, 106, survived the 'other' pandemic - the Spanish flu
My father, Ed Palkot, has a unique perspective on the current coronavirus pandemic.

He's sheltering in place now in his suburban New York home. And he's 106. He survived the last major global ‎pandemic.

Edward was 5 years old. According to him, he probably contracted the “dreaded disease” from his “playmates.” Unlike the current COVID-19, the Spanish flu hit younger people harder than the elderly.

“Those who drank whiskey escaped the flu,” Dad recalls his mother Mamie suggesting, “those who did not, succumbed.”
