Starts at 40 seconds. Interview with man near dead given chloroquine on 9th day at hospital. Nevada governor says No. There already is a petition to recall the governor. This might get some more signatures.

Nevadas governor has signed an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs for someone who has the coronavirus.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolaks order Tuesday restricting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine comes after President Donald Trump touted the medication as a treatment for the virus.
Trump last week falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration had just approved the use of chloroquine to treat patients infected with coronavirus. After the FDAs chief said the drug still needs to be tested for that use, Trump overstated the drugs potential benefits in containing the virus.
Sisolak said in a statement that theres no consensus among experts or Nevada doctors that the drugs can treat people with COVID-19. His order also limits a prescription to a 30-day supply to ensure its available for legitimate medical purposes" and so that people cannot find a way to stockpile the drug.
The governors rule comes a day after a Phoenix-area man died and his wife was in critical condition from taking an additive used to clean fish tanks known as chloroquine phosphate, similar to the drug used to treat malaria.
