The depths these people will go to to defend, support and backup the president is mind blowing.

Texas LT Gov basically is saying "old folks be ready to die for the sake of the economy (ie Trump hotels).

Does anyone have a video or link to one of Trump suggesting people take cholorquine?  Curious what the actual quote is.

Quote

Now, a drug called chloroquine — and some people would add to it “hydroxy-.”  Hydroxychloroquine.  So chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.  Now, this is a common malaria drug.  It is also a drug used for strong arthritis.  If somebody has pretty serious arthritis, also uses this in a somewhat different form.  But it is known as a malaria drug, and it’s been around for a long time and it’s very powerful.  But the nice part is, it’s been around for a long time, so we know that if it — if things don’t go as planned, it’s not going to kill anybody.

There's more, but here's a couple from Trump himself and from the White House's official releases. 

 

Chloroquine has not been approved by any health agency for treatment against COVID-19.

President Trump said Thursday that the antimalarial drug chloroquine had shown “very encouraging early results” treating COVID-19 and will be rolled out “almost immediately” to help fight the growing coronavirus outbreak.

“It’s shown very encouraging, very, very encouraging early results, and we’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately, and that’s where the FDA has been so great,” Trump said. “They’ve gone through the approval process, it’s been approved and they did it, they took it down from many, many months to immediate.”

But moments later, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn cautioned that chloroquine had not yet been approved for treating COVID-19.

I believe Trump talked about it during the press conference on the 19th (which prompted this questioning) and tweeted about it on the 21st.

Do you believe anything Lindsey Graham says or tweets is genuine?

Nope haha, but the fact they acknowledged that loosening restrictions now would be an awful idea was at least slightly comforting!
