Questions @whpresscorps must ask when Trump touts hydroxychloroquine like its cough drops:

1. What dosage should people take?
2. How long should people take it?
3. What studies are you relying on for dosage and time?
3. Are you saying this is prophylactic or post-diagnosis?../1
...(while he wont know what the last question means, if he says anything close to prophylactic)
5. How does hydroxychloroquine prevent viral infection?
6. Since hydroxychloroquine is an immunosuppressant, how isnt there a risk that it will *increase* the risk of infection?.../2
...7. What studies have you reviewed showing it has a preventative effect, because I can't find any. (they dont exist.)

(If he says for treatment...)
8. At what stage of infection should people take the medicine?.../3
...9. What should people with lupus and other autoimmune diseases do to find their medication, since your recommendations have led to a national shortage of hydroxychloroquine?.../4
...10. Will the government subsidize lupus & rheumatoid arthritis patients, given the price-gouging happening with these drugs?
11. Are you concerned about lupus and autoimmune patients who cant find their medication refusing to vote for you because theyre now in pain?.../5
....
@whpresscorps needs to focus: "Take a medication" is not the beginning and end of this. "Take a medication" can kill anyone - no matter WHAT the prescription med is. If this was an over-the-counter med, it would STILL be dangerous to take it willy-nilly, but far worse.../6
...with prescription drugs.

And if he does the "Thats a nasty question" crap, the question is "Sir, people need to know the dosage you think works if they are going to take it. Could you please tell Americans what it should be?"

...and if he does the "nasty question" crap.../7
...still, all of you ask it again and again. And for god's sake, start challengiong the "nasty question" sidestep.

"How is it nasty to ask what dosage people should take?
"Should everyone guess at the dosage, since you won't tell?"

..and on and on and on.....
...STOP letting him off the hook so easily. He sidesteps you because youre treating him like hes a normal president. He is NOT. He is a con man. ALL of you have to agree before the press conference on ONE topic to focus on, hit him again and again with one area of questions...
