Quote: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
I tried to find quotes were people were blaming their stupidity on Trump for ingesting this stuff the wrong way and I could not find the quotes. Secondly, I see a lot of people on here therefore claiming that the stuff does not work and Trump is an idiot for suggesting it might.
Yet, here we are with the FDA approving it for treatment.

I guess the only disagreement was, Trump was assertive about the positive impact of the medicine.
But the FDA guy said, this would take the "Trial route". Trump did not mention about it at all.
I guess that's the difference.

I wish they are true.

French researchers have been having success with it in their limited trials.

Italy and France are now prescribing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for coronavirus patients
It better be a massive trial because if it works the FDA trial and delay will lead to people dying.
Both of these drugs have been around for years and the side effects are minimal and known. If I had the symptoms I would insist on getting them from my doctor immediately - and then stop taking them if my test results came back negative a week later. Beats letting it progress unchecked while waiting for test results. No harm done if it doesn't work but possibly life altering if it does.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

That said, if you wish to start an argument about a particular politician, take it to the soapbox.

However, you are right that politicians should know that there are idiots that will take what they say too far.

Which is why you do not put a businessman in a (major) political office. They do not understand the job. They think you can run a government like you run a business, and you just can't.
I've been saying this since Ross Perot ran for public office.

Had to go to the supermarket this morning - out of bread, milk, and a huge list of other stuff - so I stocked up for a long wait: couple of episodes of "Avenue 5", "Better call Saul", few Android games, big thick jumper, sleeping bag, you know the kind of thing.
Walked up to entrance, straight in. Walked round with shopping list, got everything on it. They had pasta (not on list, didn't buy), TP (not on list, didn't buy) - everything that they had run out of has been replenished. Had to queue briefly (just me, no-one in front) for a self serve till, paid and out.
Painless, and efficient. (Except for the "aisle campers" who make 2M / 6ft Social Distancing pretty difficult, of course.)
Maybe the panic stockpilers have run out of room to store TP, I dunno ...

Really? That's great.
I am guessing we're going to have TP problems for months because people are conditioned to buy it right now. I think that will take a while to wear off. I hope I am wrong.

As it says at the end of "The Galaxy Song[^]:

How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
