Or any grade of gasoline for that matter.

And avoid media pundits from now on who pushed this gross & dangerous distortion.

This sounds like a wrong-headed, terrible decision.

Bill Dentzer:

“…Gov. Steve Sisolak has signed an emergency measure to safeguard the threatened supply of two drugs being hoarded for possible use in the treatment of COVID-19.

The governor signed the emergency regulation Tuesday on the recommendation of the state Board of Pharmacy.

The drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, are used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and are being studied by the FDA for possible use in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.

In a letter to the governor, the Pharmacy Board noted that the safety and the efficacy of the drugs “have not been established” in the treatment of COVID-19 and that “an emergency exists due to the hoarding and stockpiling” of the drugs.

The governor’s order prohibits the prescribing and dispensing chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for a COVID-19 diagnosis, requires the appropriate prescription coding for their “legitimate medical purposes,” and limits prescriptions to a 30-day supply.

“At this point in time, there is no known cure for COVID-19 and we must not withhold these drugs from those who need them,” the governor said in a statement. “The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home for Nevada, not to stockpile these drugs.”…”

Trump approval rating at all-time high: Poll

60% approve of Trump’s handling of virus.

Trump’s press briefings on his administration’s response to Coronavirus have been successful, too successful. The Democrats and the media perceive political exposure from public approval of the President’s handling of the crisis. Democrats and the media perceive the President’s press briefings as the instrument through which the President has achieved public support. Media for the last few days have been floating the idea that Trump’s press briefings should no longer receive nationwide coverage. Yesterday, media pulled away from the President’s briefings after about 20 minutes. Joe Biden tried to enter the public discussion on Coronavirus  response and flopped badly. Today, Cuomo’s press briefing turned from friendly stream of consciousness discussion to pointed political attack on the Trump Administration. This is inline with Democrat’s maneuvering in the senate on the virus relief bill.

Whatever political unity that existed -and it was not that much- with respect to the country’s virus response is quickly evaporating. Another few days and unity will be gone. It will be replaced by rabid partisanship and political attacks.

With Trump discussing the end of draconian shut downs and normalization of virus response, Democrats realize the virus will pass, Trump will have been successful, Biden will have deteriorated, and the likelihood of defeating Trump in November grows smaller and smaller. Democrat complaints and demands will increase in volume and shrillness as their ability to squeeze political capital from the crisis goes down.

I have said it over and over again since the Coronavirus pandemic developed, but it is worth repeating again, the media in this country is a disgusting joke.

Jeff Colyer and Daniel Hinthorn:

“…Hydroxychloroquine is a common generic drug used to treat lupus, arthritis and malaria. The medication, whose brand name is Plaquenil, is relatively safe, with the main side effect being stomach irritation, though it can cause echocardiogram and vision changes. In 2005, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study showed that chloroquine, an analogue, could block a virus from penetrating a cell if administered before exposure. If tissue had already been infected, the drug inhibited the virus.

On March 9 a team of researchers in China published results showing hydroxychloroquine was effective against the 2019 coronavirus in a test tube. The authors suggested a five-day, 12-pill treatment for Covid-19: two 200-milligram tablets twice a day on the first day followed by one tablet twice a day for four more days.

A more recent French study used the drug in combination with azithromycin. Most Americans know azithromycin as the brand name Zithromax Z-Pak, prescribed for upper respiratory infections. The Z-Pak alone doesn’t appear to help fight Covid-19, and the findings of combination treatment are preliminary.

But researchers in France treated a small number of patients with both hydroxychloroquine and a Z-Pak, and 100% of them were cured by day six of treatment. Compare that with 57.1% of patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone, and 12.5% of patients who received neither.

What’s more, most patients cleared the virus in three to six days rather than the 20 days observed in China. That reduces the time a patient can spread the virus to others. One lesson that should inform the U.S. approach: Use this treatment cocktail early, and don’t wait until a patient is on a ventilator in the intensive-care unit.

A couple of careful studies of hydroxychloroquine are in progress, but the results may take weeks or longer. Infectious-disease experts are already using hydroxychloroquine clinically with some success. With our colleague Dr. Joe Brewer in Kansas City, Mo., we are using hydroxychloroquine in two ways: to treat patients and as prophylaxis to protect health-care workers from infection. . . . As a matter of clinical practice, hydroxychloroquine should be given early to patients who test positive, and perhaps if Covid-19 is presumed—in the case of ill household contacts, for instance…”

Pathetic

I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost. Don’t they understand that they are destroying themselves?
