The Left and media (same thing) kept telling Trump heâs not a doctor but it seems he mightâve been right about this drug.
A drug they will begin using in New York and other places TOMORROW.
A great early result from a drug that will start tomorrow in New York and other places! #COVIDăź19 https://t.co/4F4Qk4WFtK

From the New York Post:
A Florida man diagnosed with coronavirus claims he was saved from certain death by an anti-malaria drug touted as a possible treatment by President Trump.
Rio Giardinieri, 52, told Los Angelesâ Fox 11 that he struggled with horrendous back pain, headaches, cough and fatigue for five days after catching COVID-19, possibly at a conference in New York.
Doctors at the Joe DiMaggio Childrenâs Hospital in South Florida diagnosed him with the coronavirus and pneumonia and put him on oxygen in the ICU, he told the outlet.
After more than a week, doctors told him there was nothing more they could do and, on Friday evening, Giardinieri said goodbye to his wife and three children.
The story continues:
Trump last week said he was instructing the FDA to fast-track testing of hydroxychloroquine and a related drug, chloroquine, as treatment for COVID-19.
Giardinieri said he contacted an infectious disease doctor about the drug.
âHe gave me all the reasons why I would probably not want to try it because there are no trials, thereâs no testing, it was not something that was approved,â said Giardinieri.
âAnd I said, âLook, I donât know if Iâm going to make it until the morning,â because at that point I really thought I was coming to the end because I couldnât breathe anymore,â Giardinieri continued.
âHe agreed and authorized the use of it and 30 minutes later the nurse gave it to me.â
After about an hour on an IV with the medicine, Giardinieri said, it felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and, about two hours later, he had another episode where he couldnât breathe.
He says he was given Benadryl and some other drugs and that when he woke up around 4:45 a.m., it was âlike nothing ever happened.â
Wouldnât that be AMAZING?
Good news for a change? Progress?!
Say it ainât so.
Flatten the curve NOT the Economy

Good news â hopefully it will work for all! Imagine what a disaster we'd be in if Biden was in charge.

Biden still thinks heâs running for the Senate.
Great work!
This is a game changer!
Hopefully we all get back to work soon!â Joey Saladino (@JoeySalads) March 23, 2020
This is bad news for the Trump haters who are reveling in the economic distraction this is causing.

Letâs hope this is the new trend.
