Bayer AG said on Thursday it has donated 3 million tablets of the malaria drug Resochin to the U.S. government for potential use to treat COVID-19.
Resochin, made of chloroquine phosphate and an approved treatment for malaria, is being evaluated in China for its potential use against COVID-19, the disease caused by the fast-spreading coronavirus.
Bayer said the drug is currently not approved for use in the United States and the company is working with appropriate agencies on an emergency use authorization for its use in the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking at a news conference on Thursday, called on U.S. health regulators to expedite potential therapies such as Gilead Sciences Inc’s Remdesivir and the generic antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, aimed at treating COVID-19.

I assume these will be distributed to hospitals and pharmacies who can then charge us $20 or 30 per tablet for it?

Tonic water is a carbonated soft drink in which quinine is dissolved. Originally used as a prophylactic against malaria, tonic water usually now has a significantly lower quinine content and is consumed for its distinctive bitter flavor, though it is nowadays also often sweetened.

Cinchona, or quinine bark, is one of the rainforest's most famous plants and most important discoveries. Legend has it that the name cinchona came from the countess of Chinchon, the wife of a Peruvian viceroy, who was cured of a malarial type of fever by using the bark of the cinchona tree in 1638.

Dr. Fauci was on television literally under an hour ago saying the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine is being grossly overstated.

Monsato is the devil of Round-up weed eater " Round-up"

Can we not just be happy with the fact that progress is being made?

Or we can hold off the reigns on everyone spreading what is arguably disinformation based off a few internet articles they read.

Why is he a POS?
The POSs are the frickers that bought up all the masks so now our docs and nurses are running on short supply
Or the scumbags that buy 20 loaves of fricking bread
And the cocksuckers that decided they needed enough hand sanitizer for the next decade
Don’t even get me started on the assholes buying up all the TP

How is any of this any different then trying to hoard a drug that may treat an illness one doesn’t have? You proved your own point.

When I was in the Marines overseas, then gave us a small bottle to carry when we were in the sticks.
