You know the problem with libtards is always English comprehension. Did you even watch the video you posted? Trump said they are working very hard and they hope that by April with the changing weather conditions that the virus disappears, he even clearly used the words "I hope that's true". So in your libtard world you can't differentiate between when someone says he hopes something will happen and when he says it will definitely happen? Y'all really need to go back to your basic English language classes, why does one always have to explain to you things that were said in simple English?
Since you guys have been conditioned not to believe your ears and eyes and even your senses, I will transcribe the video for others to learn.
Here it is;
;The virus, the're working hard, looks like by April when it's gets a little warmer, it miraculous goes away. I hope that's true. But we are doing great in our country. China, I spoke with president xi and they are working very very hard, and I think it's all going to work out fine. Rough stuff, I tell you rough rough stuff, but I think it's going to work out good. We only have 11 cases and they are all getting better.

Now who takes responsibility for Trump's words? Was it the same "expert" that told him coronavirus will miraculously dissappear in April, that also told him chloroquine will cure the virus? Arguing with you guys is like arguing with the wind, you blow in all and every direction.
Even Islamic fundamentalists do not argue so senselessly.

Dummy, If every liberal article agrees Trump issued a travel ban in response to the coronavirus threat then why did you come here to lie that he did nothing and ignored the intelligence briefings if not that you're a typical dishonest, liberal liar? If You think the travel ban was a futile venture, then you must believe the whole world is being run by idiots because almost every country in the world have implemented travel bans in response to the coronavirus threat. And you are telling another pathetic lie when you say Trump said the virus will be gone by April. That's another big fat lie !!
Enough with the lies already!!
You know that the Internet never forgets, right?

Every single day Trump still blame Obama for a pandemic that happened 3 years into his presidency. As absurd as that sound, his worshippers buy it.

When Jim acosta called Trump out yesterday he on his poor handling of the coronavirus pandemic, by asking "who dropped the ball", he mentioned "the previous administration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-xHsSK8HTw

Here are is excuses;
Trump: I inherited an empty stockpile 3 years ago. That's Obama's fault! He then went on rambling about empty military stock. Does he expects to fight coronavirus with guns and missiles? Besides this has been fact checked and found to be a lie.- https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/trump-falsely-claims-he-inherited-empty-stockpile/

Even if true, did he expects vaccines and medicines in the stockpiles to last forever? Don't they have shelf lives? How many did he restock in 3 years?
The most absurd of all absurdities is when asked about lack of tests, Trump said "We inherited a faulty test from the previous administration". He inherited a faulty test for a disease that didn’t exist yet.

You're the one that is a big clown suffering from ignorance and English comprehension problems.
You guys are living in an alternate universe, so your perception of reality is opposite of what it really is. I don't blame you guys anyway, your messiah already instruct you not to believe your very eyes or use your brains, but to accept anything that emanates from his own mouth.

1. Therapy means treatment to relieve or cure a disease. They are synonyms that can be used interchangeably so all those argument you made about use of the word therapy instead of cure is total nonsense!!
Therapy in this particular case does not mean cure. Even the CDC had warned that the Coronavirus has no cure or vaccine. So it's you people that is promoting or insinuating that any drug as a cure that is talking nonsense.

2. For you to be insinuating that this report was published by Trump's people just shows how ignorant you are. Sermo is a worldwide forum of doctors in over 150 countries in the world, a big majority of them are not even Americans. Common sense should have told you to checkout the organization doing the survey before accusing them of being Trump stooges.
You are just making unfounded assumptions and then using those assumptions as a basis to justify your views. How do you know that a vast majority of doctors are Americans - Republicans at that? If Trump’s people could get the CDC to approve chloroquine for the treatment of chloroquine just by the words of Trump, without conducting any tests, don't you think writing a "report" on Sermo.com would be a breeze?
When was the survey carried out and how many non Americans participanted. Japanese doctors are definitely excepted, as they generally disagree with the use of chloroquine for treatment of coronavirus.


3. You said the doctors surveyed were probably Republicans? From over thirty different countrieshuh In how many countries does the Republican party exist for God's sake?
As pointed out abroad. Let's see the actual results of the so called survey and not just unsubstantiated claims. Even UK is against the use of chloroquine to cure coronavirus.

4. Science doesn't work on people's opinions right? But the people whose opinions were published in that survey happen to be professionals in medical sciences. More than that, they are experts on fighting viral infections, the very people we should be listening to at this time.
Whether professionals or quacks, science does not work on personal or group opinions. You need to prove it works, with verifiable proof and explain how and why it works in a scientific paper that can be read by all.

5. It seems you can't differentiate between most prescribed and most effective. Most prescribed means the one that has been prescribed most by doctors while most effective means the one that has been most effective in the treatment of coronavirus infections. I am shocked I have to break this simple thing down for you. And please the "nothing" in the report was not referring to paracetamol. It means some doctors recommended giving no drugs at all to the patient hence their opinion was represented by the word "nothing" undecided. The report is saying "nothing" was rated the third best therapy followed by analgesics in fourth, anti - HIV drugs in fifth e.t.c
OK, my error. Nothing is nothing and not paracetamol, didn't see the comma after the nothing.
Having said that, if 'nothing' is the third best therapy, what does that say about the first and second best therapies? It means they cannot be proven to work. To prove a drug works, you need to carry out clinical trials with control. The control being placebos given to a second group. If the results of the drug are not much different from the control, the whole result is discarded.

In all these turanchi, you failed to answer the most pertinent question;
Did the use of chloroquine alter the general fatality figures of infected people in the US or any other country using it as a cure? Maybe that's the secret of Nigeria and other Africans countries, because we have less than 1% fatality rate.

Why should you be surprised? If it was Hillary Clinton in office, what would the republicans have done? Or is it only lives in Libyan embassies that matter?
If it was Hillary Clinton, the Republicans would not let us hear word for the next 10 years. The Republicans hammered on Benghazi debacle for 2 full years. Till today, they still hammer on Emails after 2 years of investigations.
If Obama was this incompetent, I am sure the Republicans would have declared a civil war.

The illiterate in the White House ignored security briefings in January that could have staved this off

Republicans read the briefings, continued his nothing to see here lines, and sold off stock. Republican stock portfolios matter.
Imagine, the intelligence agencies warned Trump and his Republican senators early january about an incoming pandemic, what did Trump and his Republican friends do? They quickly sold of their stocks and bought medical stocks, and did nothing, waiting for the pandemic to hit.
When the pandemic finally hit, they blame the Democrats and even Obama for the pandemic and the resulting deaths.

American dem governors are trying to stave off debts, while republican governors are just getting out of denial, is that not a fact?

Jared kushner is telling us that the federal stockpile is federal property, not so? And trump is being as useless as ever, expecting people to kiss the ring before they get help.
Imagine putting Jared Kushner in charge of managing the pandemic. Kushner a spoilt kid like Trump himself is now in charge of US foreign policy and domestic policy. And you wonder why they are celebrating an expected 200,000 deaths.

He is the Abba Kyari of US.

BTW, Chloroquine has now being declared as the most effective drug in the fight against coronavirus. A survey of doctors opinions from over thirty different countries showed chloroquine as the drug with the highest number of endorsement by the doctors. Some dolts will rather have thousands more die instead of them to accept that Trump was right. The same foolish Dems who criticized Trump for touting chloroquine are no where to be found now that their own Democrat governors are now turning to the same chloroquine. You won't hear a word about it from the hypocrites.
Clowns. Who declared chloroquine as "the most effective drug?" Did you read to read the reports at all? It's all just speculations that Trump's people are pushing as a cure according to the revelation received by Trump.

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/apr/2/hydroxychloroquine-rated-most-effective-therapy-do/
The headline of this report says it all

Hydroxychloroquine rated 'most effective [color=#99000] therapy'[/color] by doctors for coronavirus: Global survey

The survey conducted by Sermo, a global health care polling company, of 6,227 physicians in 30 countries found that 37% of those treating COVID-19 patients rated hydroxychloroquine as the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.


The survey also found that the most commonly prescribed treatments are analgesics (56%), azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%).

Azithromycin, known by the brand name Zithromax or Z-Pak, was rated the second-most effective therapy at 32%, followed by “nothing,” analgesics (including acetaminophen), anti-HIV drugs and cough medicine.
The headline says therapy; what does that tell you? That it's not a cure. Then is most effective therapy is from a survey of some doctors, meaning from the opinion of some doctors (probably Republican doctors ). Science do not work on opinions of anyone, it works by presenting verifiable data confirming your tests and trials, and explaining the reasons behind it. Many doctors in Nigeria will opine that "agbo" is the best therapy for lots of illnesses.

37% of 6227 physicians think that hydroxychloroquine is the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.

From the survey, the most commonly prescribed drug was analgesics ( paracetamol - 56%), then azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%). From this survey even "nothing" (paracetamol) was rated the 3rd most effective in the treatment of coronavirus.

As I said earlier, the flu industry is a huge scam. Pharmaceuticals make billions selling useless drugs purporting to cure the common Cold. It's your natural immunity that can fight the flu virus itself - no other drugs. This coronavirus does not significantly affect about 80% of those infected, about 20% requires hospitalisation ,while 2 - 4% on average will not survive it. If chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine or any other drug has been tested to significantly alter this statistics, let me know.

Is it not the same Trump that has been supporting other states that are managing the coronavirus crises well? He has even given New York more support than any other states so what's the problem with New York? Other governors are doing a tremendous job with what they got but New York that have received the highest is still blundering from pillar to post. You liberals are very hypocritical, you're praising Governor Cuomo who is directly overseeing and responsible for the New York crises, you're even talking him as a presidential material but you want to lay the blame on Trump in Washington? Is this not the height of hypocrisy that the person who is directly responsible is being hailed by you all but the person who's constitutional role is to provide support to the state is being blamed for the disastrous clusterfuck happening in the state? The clowns running New York should get their acts together and sort this mess out
So what responsibility does Trump have? He was not responsible for Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurrucane Maria, Trump is not responsible for handling a devastating pandemic in the US, so what is he responsible for exactly? I thought he said the US is at war and so is a war president? Maybe the Governors are the ones that handles wars in the US? If Hawaii is attacked today, maybe Trump will say it's the Governors responsibility to respond.

You same people would put all the blame in Nigeria on Buhari and not your governors.

I think Oga Seun should demand a sanity test before allowing people to register. I read some real crazy shit on nairaland, some of the craziest conspiracy theories I have ever heard. From someone staking his life that the earth is flat to the Trump guys that believes everyone that dislikes or criticise Trump is evil and should be stoned to death. These same people are usually the ones that critical of Obama or Buhari the most, not minding that even till today Obama is more popular than Trump. Barack Obama today is the most followed person on twitter with over 114 million followers. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitter_accounts

No one is saying the media shouldn't exist but they should report accurately and quote correctly. Not being dishonest.
Who should determine which reports are accurate? Fox news or Trump? How come 90% of US and international media including BBC are inaccurate, but only fox news and alt right wing media. Even fox news is sometimes criticised by Trump and you guys.

when the media are openly biased and partisan then it's becomes a problem for the people.
So the media has only started being bias, they were not bias during Obama or past administrations? They are not bias in other democracies. The media like other human endeavours is subject to personal and group biases, but it does not remove from the accuracy off their reports. As I said earlier Trump want to hear only news praising him, he better abolish the first amendment and impose media censorship like China, North Korea or Russia.

Have you ever seen trump call them out for exactly reporting what he said? They spin his words in order to satisfy their radical left base. New York times was caught changing their headline 3 fücking times just to satisfy Pelosi and her leftists dumbKrats.
You said headlines and not the subject of the report. All media house play around with headlines to attract maximum attention.
If the report is false, why not let's fact check the report.

People have lost faith in the media. They deserve every ounce of spite and tantrum designated towards them by Trump.
Trump never had faith in the media. The love -hate relationship with the media is decades old. His supporters only recently entered the fray. So it's you people that have just recently lost faith with the media. The vast majority of people still have faith in the media.

All Democratic governors wants their citizens dead and so are lying about supplies.
Clinton's and Democrats are infecting face mask to spread the virus in the their states, while Bill Gates is helping them spread the virus in the UK.

Democrats filled cruise liners with corona infected illegal immigrants and bring them into the US to infect people.
Under normal circumstances, ships in distress are allowed to dock at the nearest port.
In the coronavirus pandemic, cruise ships present a perfect storm of problems for governments

Japan chose to place the Diamond Princess in quarantine while it was docked in Yokohama — which resulted in more than 700 passengers and crew becoming infected, and seven people dying.

In contrast, Pacific islands like Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu turned away some cruise ships this month because of the health risks, despite the importance of tourism to their national economies. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.abc.net.au/article/12093768
Democrats sent a train to sink a navy hospital ship because of CHIDREN rescued from all the military battles in underground tunnels that people think are earthquakes for the past few months in different states of America. Does this sentence even make sense to a mad man?

Democrats wants to shut down or lock down states in order to hurt America? I am sure it's the Democrats also that forced European, ,Canada, Nigeria and in fact over 70% of countries in the world to lock down.

Since you have demonised the Democrats without and proof, not to talk of charge, what do you suggest to be done? Maybe Trump should ban the democratic party, throw is leaders and members in jail, and hunt their supporters to extinction. That way Trump will reign supreme with no questions from anyone.
O, I forgot, what of the press? Since the lying fake press are part of the deepstate, the first amendment should be abolished. Only news from Trump's twitter feed and fox news should be permitted.

Presidenf Obama warned the incoming president that the worst threat facing the US was a global pandemic rising out of China and decimating the world and US economy. Obama actually carried out a drill on how to deal with the pandemic and put in structures and man power to deal with it.
What did Trump do ignored all the warnings and dismantled all the structures.
Before Trump’s inauguration, a warning: ‘The worst influenza pandemic since 1918’

Seven days before Donald Trump took office, his aides faced a major test: the rapid, global spread of a dangerous virus in cities like London and Seoul, one serious enough that some countries were imposing travel bans.

In a sober briefing, Trump’s incoming team learned that the disease was an emerging pandemic — a strain of novel influenza known as H9N2 — and that health systems were crashing in Asia, overwhelmed by the demand.

“Health officials warn that this could become the worst influenza pandemic since 1918,” Trump’s aides were told. Soon, they heard cases were popping up in California and Texas.

The briefing was intended to hammer home a new, terrifying reality facing the Trump administration, and the incoming president’s responsibility to protect Americans amid a crisis. But unlike the coronavirus pandemic currently ravaging the globe, this 2017 crisis didn’t really happen — it was among a handful of scenarios presented to Trump’s top aides as part of a legally required transition exercise with members of the outgoing administration of Barack Obama.

And in the words of several attendees, the atmosphere was “weird” at best, chilly at worst.

POLITICO obtained documents from the meeting and spoke with more than a dozen attendees to help provide the most detailed reconstruction of the closed-door session yet. It was perhaps the most concrete and visible transition exercise that dealt with the possibility of pandemics, and top officials from both sides — whether they wanted to be there or not — were forced to confront a whole-of-government response to a crisis. The Trump team was told it could face specific challenges, such as shortages of ventilators, anti-viral drugs and other medical essentials, and that having a coordinated, unified national response was “paramount” — warnings that seem eerily prescient given the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/03/16/trump-inauguration-warning-scenario-pandemic-132797
Now, when the pandemic finally hit, Trump is blaming Obama for not preparing enough for the pandemic.

If you read between the lines you’ll know even the FDA agrees it works. They just need to run more tests + plus how to mitigate the side effects before throwing their weights behind it.

Unless you want to tell me Trump just woke one morning and said Chloroquine can be used to treat it and FDA approved.
Read between the lines? Why does anyone need to read between the lines of FDA's official statements? If the FDA have tested a drug that works, they would write it in the lines and not between the lines.

Here is the lines from FDA's official website;
Because COVID-19 has never been seen in humans before, there are currently no vaccines to prevent or drugs to treat COVID-19 approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA is working with vaccine and drug manufacturers to develop new vaccines for and find drugs to treat COVID-19 as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, some people and companies are trying to profit from this pandemic by selling unproven and illegally marketed products that make false claims, such as being effective against the coronavirus.

These fraudulent products that claim to cure, treat, or prevent COVID-19 haven’t been evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness and might be dangerous to you and your family.

Trump can’t wake up and just say Chloroquine is a potential cure without a medical adviser even FDA hasn’t denied this. FDA was only saying they are yet to approve it cos it’s yet to pass all the necessary tests.
See excuse. Trump worshippers make more excuses for their God than Christians, muslims and Jews added together. Trump being omniscient and knowing about South Korea than anyone on the planet did not know the population of Seoul.

Can you please name the medical adviser or expert that gave Trump the advice that chloroquine can cure any coronavirus.

My good man, is it not tenable that:

1. The crisis came to Nigeria later than the countries you mention in the west. Therefore, those countries having provided an example cannot be compared with Nigeria whom should have learned by the aforementioned example?

3. That like for like comparisons are not possible because one, those countries have a far higher inflow of traffic from affected spots; and second, because Nigerias testing capacity is far, far lower than that of other countries...so we may be thinking the crisis is lower here than it actually is. US made this error as well.

4. That there is an obvious cycle where the initial wave of cases seems manageable and then balloons.

Having said all this, I conclude by arguing, without making any comparison that Buhari mismanaged this situation by:

1. Leaving the borders open until a critical mass had become infected

2. Failing to beef up the NCDC capacity despite having showed initial foresight.

3. Failing to address the nation in a timely manner, leading to states having to take the lead

4. Failing to provide critical food supplies for the poor in areas under federal lock down.

Now all of this is underscored by this simple fact: Nigeria does not have the resources other nations have to effectively tackled this crisis. Therefore we ought to have taken extra care. All Mr. President had to do was to close the borders early enough.
So which country do you think took the kinds of measures you advocate to stem the inflow of the virus into their country? Which country do you suggest we emulate?

Nigeria cannot just shut his borders too early to all incoming traffic. Stopping flight from China did not work as Trump found out. The virus could come from any country, even before it reaches epidemic levels in that country. If Buhari stopped all flights to Nigeria the very week the outbreak started in Wuhan, the regular wailers would have wailed endlessly on how Nigeria did not close the borders during SARS in 2003.

Beef NCDC capacity? How? This is a virus we knew very little about and the world had very little ideas of its properties.

Which government scrapped history from our school curriculum? You mean you searched for history in WAEC, NECO and JAMB syllabus, and you did not find it? Maybe you wanted to take history as a subject in your Senior Secondary School and it was not available. That would be the fault of your school and not WAEC or JAMB.
It's state ministry of education that determines the curriculum of secondary schools in the states, except for unity schools, so if history is not in your states curriculum, hold your governor responsible.

usa is like first bank that claims to be best because of old glory but banks like gtb etc pass them.
countries like singapore don overtake usa. infact the real world power now is china. but no one wan give am to them.
a country that controls the worlds market economy is directly or indirectly the world power
My people still think USA is equivalent to heaven. USA is simply living on past glory, it's a falling empire, just like other empires before it. The new rising economic power is south East Asia, particularly China. Of the top ten banks in the world, 4 are Chinese, 4 are US, one is UK and one is Japanese. The 4 Chinese are the top 4 banks

For the first time in history, China has more companies on the fortune global 500 companies than the US -

and the gap is set to widen further in the coming years.

The US shot itself in the foot, by alienating it's traditional trade and military allies, and taking on China alone.

Your analogy doesn’t relate
You mean Trump did not have experts to tell him that the population of Seoul is roughly 10 million, but he has experts that told him chloroquine cures coronavirus?

If Buhari makes half of Trump's gaffes, you guys will not let us hear word again. Ordinary calling covid 19 covik 1-9, you people did not let us rest on social media.

So you think Trump would wake up one morning to talk about Chloroquine if he wasn’t informed by his medical team of it’s potential.

The issue here is that the FDA is divided as some feel in the face of this pandemic sufficient test has been done to approve it while others feel the need to exhaust all medical procedures before approving it. Don’t forget that The longer it takes the more the virus spreads there are political undertones to these things too.
The same Trump that did a Google search of Seoul and saw elevation - 38m, and immediately went on to announce on national TV, that he knows south korea better than anybody and that the population of Seoul is 38million

Foreign Affairs › Re: Opinion: COVID-19 Is Just An Extension Of The Trade War by wirinet(m):
Although your conspiracy theory sounds outlandish and outrageous, even if it's true, Trump is still to blame. Obama left an agent embedded inside the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to monitor any virus outbreak from China. Trump removed the agents just 6 months before the virus hit. If the agent was still there, Trump would have gotten first hand intelligence on whatever was going on in China and acted before it got put of hand.

You mean Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats would conspire with China to import a virus into the US that could possibly kill Nancy Pelosi herself, her family and other Democrats, just to spite Trump?

I forgot to add;
Right after the first case of coronavirus was reported in the US on January 21, Chuck Schumer called on Trump to immediately declare a state of emergency to prevent any outbreak in the US, what did your God do? Nothing.
Schumer calls on feds to declare coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency; - January 26, 2020 |
Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged federal officials to declare coronavirus a public health emergency in the US, so millions more in funds could be made available to fight the deadly bug.

The senator appealed to the Department of Health and Human Services to make the declaration in order for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to access $85 million that is allocated to fight infectious disease.

“Should the outbreak get worse they’re going to need immediate access to critical federal funds that at present they can’t access,” Schumer told reporters at his Manhattan office.

He said health officials will then be able to act quickly should the flu-like virus continue to spread in the country.

Who prescribed the drug to them?
Drug been used to cure malaria for ages now is killing people, if una wan lie mk sure u can defend it.
Are you aware that chloroquine was banned for treatment of malaria by WHO since 2002. Most countriesof the world including Nigeria had banned the use of chloroquine as treatment for malaria. Before now, I could get the full treatment (intravenously ) in only a few places and it was expensive. No doctor would prescribe chloroquine.

The media in the US is deliberately trying to suppress the news of several successful application of chloroquine to combat the coronavirus infection. Even Google is suppressing positive search results. You have to dig deeper before finding this news on Google. It's almost as if liberals have a vested interest in making sure the death toll from this virus is as high as possible.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/france-officially-sanctions-drug-after-78-of-80-patients-recover-from-covid-19-within-five-days
The media cannot suppress anything. There are scientists that are specialised in the field, such as Micro biologists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc. They research claims and come out with their findings, which will help others in the medical profession cure their patients.

Coronaviruses had been with us for millenia, and will continue to be with us for millenia more. If a simple drug like chloroquine was the cure, believe, that would have been discovered before even it's use for malaria. It will not take a messiah in the mold of Trump to give us the revelation.

I have always said that there is a world wide medical scam in common flu and coronaviruses in general. The pharmaceuticals are raking in billions to sell a cure for a disease we all know is incurable. They sell all sorts of miracle cure for the common Cold, which a few days rest and immune boosting supplements will cure. I stopped buying all these rubbish over 20 years ago, eg actifed, procold, and lots more I can't remember now. They are all useless. Common Cold (flu) will kill those it will kill, but majority will survive it and move on, until the next infection. Same with covid19.

Kokaneprodigy is right, he actually underestimated it, It 78 out of 80 that recovered within five days when chloroquine was used to treat them in France. It's not false information

https://www.ibtimes.com/coronavirus-treatment-france-officially-sanctions-drug-after-975-patients-recovered-2949364
Even at 78 out of 80, that's 2.5% fatality rate, which is well within the average.

You guys behave as Trump's words equate to the koran and his worshippers must defend it with their lives. This is what the link said;
Also, the U.S.FDA has acted fast to make the unproven treatment available to thousands of COVID-19 patients in New York, despite the fact the following facts:

- The drug has not been thoroughly tested
- The initial results are just anecdotal
- Critics warn of potentially life-threatening side effects.
Even UK is weary of using the untested drug on its own citizens;
In the U.K., the government has prohibited the use of chloroquine outside of the trial but that position is now probably untenable since they have to explain why they aren’t providing treatment as France

Even someone with half a brain knows you didn’t make sense comparing malaria treatment with several options of treatment with Covid-19.
4 out of 5 were successfully treated and discharged in France in just 5 days and another 65 out of 80. That’s about 80% success rate in both instances which is very good and we are yet to record any fatality from those that took it with prescription.

Covid-19 will kill you if you don’t treat it and you tell people not to take a drug with over 80% success rate to get a life line. What’s the worst that could happen if you take it?

It’s simple logic but as expected liberals are not logical.
Are you autistic or just pretending to be? FDA and all medical professionals have stressed that "there are no vaccines or cure for coronavirus as of today", so where did you get the false information that 4 out of 5 patients were successfully treated with chloroquine in France. If it was true France will blow her own trumpet and not wait for Trump or you to blow it for them.
Coronavirus virus has a fatality rate of between 2 - 4%, so 4 out of 5 patients recovering is even above the fatality rate (assuming 1 out of every patient dies (that's an astounding 20% fatality rate). Most people that survived the coronavirus, did without taking any drug, except palliatives to alleviate symptoms and rest. So even if you take chloroquine, agbo, paracetamol or chalk, the fatality rate would not change from the traditional 2 - 4%. I even think chloroquine will worsen the fatality rate, due to adverse side effects of the drug, especially on people who had never taken it.
