HomeJay and Sharpy, I'll bet you didn't know how easy it was to become a doctor. Trump is giving medical advice, and prescribing medication.

Donnie has a very good brain and is a very stable genius, so he's almost a medical professional just by default.

Was a piece of cake until about 6 weeks ago, and now I'm wondering if I'll ever see another baseball game again

I have not yet had a patient with the virus and I don't have the proper PPE if I did. I haven't read in detail the studies out of China or Europe regarding the medication. In the US, hydroxychloroquine is most frequently used in rheumatoid arthritis and has anti-inflammatory activity for it's mechanism of action. Theoretically, it's anti-inflammatory effect could diminish the cytokine storm (the body's inflammatory response to the virus infection) that brings about respiratory failure and maybe it could help with that. I would be surprised if it has direct anti-viral activity although that's what the Chinese claim.
