Actual page title: New York Times Concocts Fake News Stories to Dispel Real Evidence of Covid-19 Treatment President Trump at a presser on Thursday discussed the promising use of an on-the-shelf anti-malarial compound, hydroxychloroquine, for coronavirus. Besides coronavirus, the drug is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Its cheap and relatively safe. More accurately, hydroxychloroquine is combined with zinc and the antibiotic Zithromax, generically known as azithromycin.
The FDA at the presser said it was setting up a large clinical trial to evaluate the drug. View the following presser from minute 00:39:40.

It’s important to note this does not prevent infection but rather is a treatment that reduces the dangerous effects of the virus.
Oncologist William Grace does a great job of explaining how this works. (Right click for playback controls.)

There are some side effects, such as serious heart disease and retinal damage, but only among those who do the regimen longer-term, such as those with lupas or arthritis — not a 10-day/short-duration regimen.
It was good news. And yet, almost immediately, we saw strange nit- picking, tit-for-tat, making this development all about Trump. Clearly, The New York Times (aka The NY Slimes) completely lacks journalistic integrity and is endlessly biased on a number of fronts.
The Slimes felt compelled to turn the announcement into a World Wide Wrestling match by essentially labeling it as just some new Trump crackpot idea. It ran a fake news story titled “With Minimal Evidence, Trump Asks F.D.A. to Study Malaria Drugs for Coronavirus.” This politicization about the treatment is seen elsewhere among the usual suspect cognoscenti.
Could it be that successful treatment mitigates the need for The NY Slimes and their posse’s larger-agenda vaccines and expensive drugs?
The Slimes claims the drug went into short supply in the U.S. this month, as word has spread of its potential benefit to coronavirus patients. Then the story goes on to say, as an afterthought, that manufacturers were quickly gearing up pill production.....

Poster Comment:
It's the 2nd video down. Dr. Grace says that contrary to popular understanding, older ppl have "more mature" immune systems and it's apparently an overreaction to the virus by the immune system that's causing the trouble.
Article also sez "There are some side effects, such as serious heart disease and retinal damage, but only among those who do the regimen longer-term, such as those with lupas or arthritis — not a 10-day/short-duration regimen." People on this new regimen are "virus-free by day five" (graphs).
Most notably, perhaps, he disputes Dr. Fauci's scoffings but readily acknowledges where he's correct on this -- "you can have your cake and eat it too..... both he and the President are right".
This treatment has to be the crisis killer we've been hoping for, but it depends on the fedgov and medical establishment seeing the light. It would be so easy for Trump et al to get it bad wrong. Since Dr. William Grace is an oncologist at NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital there must be hope somewhere. Fauci and the Prexy will have to come together on it.
Unfortunately good news travels slow -- no trace of the breakthrough or even RT as I write. Main ABC News headline: "Coronavirus live updates: National Guard to be deployed in NY, California, Washington"!
I don't think this is redundant to what the rest of you have been posting. If so, consider a mea culpa on my undue negativity in response. The whole shutdown is sounding very unnecessary (big surprise).
