HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents) be put in use IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE ARE DYING, MOVE FAST, and GOD BLESS EVERYONE! Wrote president Trump a few hours ago on twitter. I really hope this is right as the two drugs are cheap, generic and have been around for some time.

I propose those who say this doesn't work and "2 grams will kill you" simply tell their doctors to not prescribe the drug, and let the dice fall as they may. You don't have to take it. This will put the current controversy to bed pretty quickly if death rate with is lower than death rate without, which we'll see in as little as 2 weeks. If everyone takes it it'll be much harder to see if it's effective.

  The president really shouldn’t write this stuff in his twitter though: https://www.scmp.com/news/world/africa/article/3076240/coronavirus-nigeria-reports-chloroquine-poisonings-after-donald https://www.scmp.com/news/world/africa/article/3076240/coron...

    That article is trying so hard. Way too hard. Any drug can kill you if you overdose it. If I remember right, 400 mg is the prescribed dosage. They are trying to make it seem that it can overdose easily but nope - at least 2g is needed to overdose. I can smell their bias in their reporting, they are trying to make the President look bad.
