A few @POTUS quotes from yesterdays Briefing:
"And the other thing that we bought a tremendous amount of is the hydroxychloroquine -- hydroxychloroquine -- which I think -- as you know, it& #39;s a great malaria drug. It& #39;s worked unbelievably. It& #39;s this powerful drug on malaria.

...And there are signs that it works on this. Some very strong signs. And, in the meantime, it& #39;s been around a long time. It also works very powerfully on lupus. Lupus. "
So there are some very strong, powerful signs, and we& #39;ll have to see. Because again, it& #39;s being tested now. This is a new thing that just happened to us -- the “invisible enemy,” we call it.
And, if you can, if you have a -- no signs of heart problems, the azrithromycin [sic] -- azithromycin -- which will kill certain things that you don& #39;t want living within your body -- it’s powerful drug -- if you don& #39;t have a problem, a heart problem, we would say:
...Let your doctor think about it. But as a combination, I think they& #39;re going to be -- I think they’re two things that should be looked at very strongly.
Now, we have purchased and we have stockpiled 29 million pills of the hydroxychloroquine -- 29 million.

A lot of drugstores have them by prescription, and also -- and they& #39;re not expensive. Also, we& #39;re sending them to various labs, our military. We& #39;re sending them to the hospitals. We& #39;re sending them all over.
I just think it& #39;s something -- you know the expression, I& #39;ve used it for certain reasons: “What do you have to lose?” What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that when -- and are taking it -- if you’re a doctor, a nurse, a first responder,
a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good. But what do you have to lose? They say, “Take it.”
I& #39;m not looking at it one way or the other, but we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn& #39;t do it early.

"But we have some very good signs. So that& #39;s hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin".
And, again, you have to go through your medical people, get the approval.
But I& #39;ve seen things that I sort of like. So what do I know? I& #39;m not a doctor. I& #39;m not a doctor. But I have...

...common sense. The FDA feels good about it. They& #39;ve -- as you know, they& #39;ve approved it. They gave it a rapid approval. And the reason: because it& #39;s been out there for a long time and they know the side effects and they also know the potential. So, based on that,
we have sent it throughout the country and we have it stockpiled -- about 29 million doses. Twenty-nine million doses. We have a lot of it. We hope it works." - @realDonaldTrump on #Hydroxychloroquine
