5. Excellent decision. Only Trump's lies seem more contagious than the coronavirus

If we quarantined Trump, we could solve this problem sooner

6. That's good news, wish more media outlets would do the same.

I guess that's not realistic though.

7. Another person was poisoned in PA after following Fake Dr. Trump's advice.

His press conferences should NOT be covered live. He poses a threat to peoples' lives.

Pa. man hospitalized after ingesting chloroquine, recovering

At least one person has been hospitalized in Pennsylvania after ingesting either chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, state poison control data show.

That unidentified person, who called the Philadelphia Poison Control Center on Thursday, did not die from the substance, and it’s unclear which form was taken. Their condition does not appear to be life-threatening, Lynch said.

8. Unless prescribed by a physician, it should not be taken

Orange man's advise or not, that was stupid.

[BlueIdaho]

If there is any news worthy information - edit and broadcast it.
