Remember when Trump said he was buying for 29m+ dozes of Hydroxychloroquine? He basically claimed it was a miracle cure.
Turns out, that it barely has a effect, and that it comes with near unbarable side effects.
In brazil a study group of it, was put on hold after alot of them started haveing heart issues (irregular heart rythems) and 11 patience died (likely because of it).
Because it was claimed as the "wonder drug" against coronavirus early on, some famous people (that got sick) apparently tried the treatment too.
Theres stories of bad side effects, to the point where they stopped useing it again.
" “What do you have to lose? Take it,” the president said on Saturday as he boasted that the US had amassed 29m doses of the drug."
“But we don’t have time to go and say, ‘Gee, let’s take a couple of years and test it out, and let’s go and test with the test tubes and the laboratories.’”
^ Trump.
Doesnt look like Hydroxychloroquine, is turning out to be the way to treat this.
Looks like Dr Anthony Fauci was right to wait, before declairing it as the wonder drug.
The question is,.... what the hell is America going to do with 29million dozes of a anti-malaria drug, that doesnt appear to work well against Covid19 ?
Donate it to WHO? give it to Africa to fight malaria?

Italy is now 41 days past the time lock down started. |
Italy at one point was seeing 6500+ daily cases.
Now its down to ~3000, and seems to be shrinking a little each day up to this point.
Its heading in the right direction.
I think Spain is worse off, at their peak they were seeing almost 9000 new cases daily, and its slow down, seems worse than Italys rate.
The UK is bad too, because they were going for "soft herd immunity" route early on, they purposefully let it spread (at reduced rate) like in sweden.
This means they were a week or two behinde other european countries in trying to stop spread. So its still growing there.
In the USA, things seem to have plateaued around 30k or so each day.
(while spread rates drop in 1 place, they rise in another)
Also we shouldnt forget that the 1st world countries are probably gonna have far less deaths, than the 3rd world countries.
This is bad here, but its gonna be alot worse those places.
