But they still won’t authorize Hydroxychloroquine. ...and they wonder why many of us distrust Government!

Mask is still so much important(prevention). A lesson to be learnt from Melbourne!

LET ME HELP YOU: .realDonaldTrump PRESSURED the .SteveFDA

why not prioritize what has already shown promises in previous epidemics and pre-clinical trials for COVID-19. HeatBiologics is leading the way with a T-cells focused alternative.

SteveFDA - sad day for FDA independence - shame- senategop housegop you’re allowing realDonaldTrump to put American lives at risk

The FDA did not authorize this...Trump made them authorize a treatment that last week the FDA said was NOT READY for authorization.

I personally prefer HCQ with a Bloody Mary.

not exactly a breakthru...this has been going on for months...realdonaldtrump's desperation is showing....but as a Murdoch publication, you can't tell the truth about this, can you ?

So, I guess that means testing is now open to everyone Not just those who have symptoms? You’re gonna need a stockpile.

well, it sounds like hospitals better being paying for the plasma of people, cuz the hospitals are charging big time for giving it to the needy.

Trumps koolaid

Excellent!!

I thought you couldn’t donate blood if you have tattoos.

Alright, Trump’s path for a virus is: Infect more Americans, suck up their blood and inject others, who ever survives, they are in luck....” It is what it is” 🤢

You can also do it from 6-12 year old kids. How do you think the donut in the far east.

Whoop de do da day; doctors were already using it. Some big announcement - SAD.

I mean if people in the US were wearing masks to help protect people with low immune system things would be better but.... yeah... “they can’t breath with a mask”

We need everything

Old news

...in a capitulation to Trump’s politics

Nice!

If anyone is willing to help Iv tried going to my state but I’m not getting any responses I lost my job because of the virus and I’m struggling to pay bills / put food on my table for me and my little boy anything would help my Venmo is Alexander-Fairbourn /cashapp $Alexzander47

If you have the antibodies, make them pay dearly for it. Just like the pharmaceutical companies would.

Mexico's solution to the Covid-19 educational crisis: Put school on TVAll Mexican kids must be offered a public education, and in the age of Covid-19, classes are coming over airwaves. Yes. I said that months ago. Another solution is to just delay it. I’ve had tornadoes destroy all the schools in my town as a kid. It took three years to get them back. Be patient!!! Use common sense. Sending them back now is 🤪🤪 It’s a great idea. Call it the Learning Channel and have different segments catering to specific age groups. The best teachers are entertainers as well and what a way to blend this all in. TV is also less intimidating than a computer screen. I almost forgot broadcast TV was a thing. Americans are like, oh you mean that black monolith in the living room isn't just for game consoles and video streaming?
