Trump sending chloroquine to NY

"What do we have to lose?"

See, this is why I like Trump.  He doesn't worry about what money the Big Pharma lobby is shoving in to his pockets, because they're not shoving any money into his pockets.  The Congresscritters who wrote Obamacare?  BIIIIIIIIG money.

But that question right there is the right thing to ask.  Will chloroquine kill any patients?  No, so long as you're not the idiot who took the version that was for aquatic parasites.

Seriously, we have this medicine.  Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.  We don't have anything else to counter this virus.  If we give the patients chloroquine, they might get better.  They might not.  But if we do nothing, we already know what will happen, so what the hell do we have to lose?

I hope it works.  In the meantime, I'm taking the organic compound that chloroquine is based on, on a daily basis.  That compound is called quinine.  It's found in tonic water, and it goes well with gin.
