Trump And The Tablets.
39 Answers
Trump is taking tablets that his doctors advise could cause heart attack and even death if he becomes infected with the virus.
All I can say to Donald is, "Keep taking the tablets man".

He would argue that for this devastating disease,there is no drug treatment and certainly no tested vaccine on the horizon,so what has he got to lose.
Side effects are as long and scary to make one wary,but if one looks at the enclosed literature about any drug,they can be just as daunting.
Anecdotal evidence has been the basis of a multi million
pound industry of many such treatments advocated by many quite commonly on AB.
I respect but do not accept the reasoning of President Trump.

Needawin, that's a truly nasty OP - reminiscent of the disgusting creature that is Miriam Margolyes wishing Boris dead.
I've posted this elsewhere this morning.
//Coronavirus patients in at least two NHS hospitals are being treated with an anti-malaria drug controversially touted by Donald Trump, in what is the fastest growing trial in UK medical history.
Since late March, Hydroxychloroquine has been given to patients of London’s Barts Health NHS Trust and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (RD&E), among others.
It is one of a number of drugs being tested in the UK’s Randomised Evaluation of Covid-19 Therapy (Recovery) trial – the world’s largest randomised clinical trial of potential coronavirus treatments.//

Gness. I watched the whole thing too. The only reason she changed her mind is because wishing him to die would reflect badly on her - and quite rightly, it did.

The fact that a drug will help cure you from an illness does not necessarily mean that it will prevent you from getting the problem in the first place.
I would be happy to take a drug that might cure me from a deadly disease regardless of the side-effects. Taking such a drug "just in case" would not be in my world model.

That’s right. As I understand it these drugs are being trialed as an aid to recovery - not as a prevention. I watched a BBC documentary where doctors were trialing one and found it to hasten recovery by a third.
