    "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today accepted 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated by Sandoz, the Novartis generics and biosimilars division, and one million doses of chloroquine phosphate donated by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, for possible use in treating patients hospitalized with COVID-19 or for use in clinical trials. These and other companies may donate additional doses, and companies have ramped up production to provide additional supplies of the medication to the commercial market."

    Politico continues to throw shade on the treatment, for obvious political reasons. Meanwhile it is the only approved treatment in India, it has been in use for some time in Malaysia, and it is now the standard treatment in Italy. Trials all over the world are showing great results.

    Some of that info and more:

      How extreme does the Trump hatred have to be that people would discriminate against a cure for COVID-19 because Trump recommended it? Bizarre.
