"SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Governor Kristi Noem announced Monday Sanford Health will lead a clinical trial investigating the drug hydroxychloroquine for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. The controlled study will initially include 2,000 outpatient individuals exposed to COVID-19, including frontline health care workers and other high-risk patients.

The Governor has asked for 1.2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine.

There are no proven drugs or therapeutics to prevent or treat COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is one of the therapeutics that is under investigation in clinical trials for treatment of patients with mild, moderate and severe COVID-19."

She also mentioned that Trump/Federal government gave her the hydroxychloroquine doses. She mentioned having 100,000 dosages/treatments in her live press conference this morning.

This popped up within minutes of Sioux Falls mayor asking for Noem to institute stay at home/shelter in place mandate.

1. Someone Is Getting $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Good Job Spending My Tax Dollars On Unproven Drugs

Others have found to be pretty much worthless for treating Covid-19.

Something smells here.

[erronis]

17. Worse than worthless. Dangerous and unproven. Typical (r)epuglicon know-nothings.

[Botany]

2. That shit can kill people

[ToxMarz]

16. Yup, 100,000 doses, that's about the number of

registered Democrats in South Dakota.

Coincidence?

[Botany]

20. Remember the good old days when medicines and stuff were tested 1st in a laboratory and then in ...

..... clinical trials and that was done under the auspices of scientists, Drs, pharmacologists,
nurses, techs, and "stats people?"

The governor of a state with zero medical or scientific training wants to conduct a test on a
chemical for use in the treatment of a disease using the population of her state as the guinea
pigs?

Good God in Butter Trump read or saw about hydroxycholorquine on some right wing web site
and is getting his advice from Judge Piro of Fox News ... is it just me or is everything bat shit
crazy?

[ToxMarz]

43. They have had a huge outbreak this week in Sioux Falls SD (one of the few populous areas)

running through their meat processing industry pretty much populated by hispanic immigrant community. I'm sure no health insurance or savings. I fear they did this on purpose thinking they have a captive group of "others" to experiment on with no other alternatives to care.

[ananda]

3. Oh hear. They really are a Death Cult.

So much koolaid I guess.

[machoneman]

4. The more she kills the better our chances as Democrats in SD aren't dumb!

She's a wicked witch for sure!

[generalbetrayus]

14. How much do you want to bet the trials

will be set up on one or more of the reservations?

[erronis]

18. Whoa - that's really scary. dump's version of smallpox.

[Marthe48]

5. Hope the victims I mean test subjects

survive

Brazil just halted their trials. 3rd or 4th country to do so.

Useless comments on tomfoolery:

A. What did repukes in the state get for exposing the citizens to snake oil experiments. Asking for a friend.

B. Wake up and smell the coffee

[Squinch]

6. Death rate's about to go up in SD. A lot.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

8. I think so, too...

... it is now up to 350 employees at the Smithfield/Morrell's pork processing plant have tested positive for it. One of them is a personal friend of mine. Just found out about him coming down with it last night.

One of my buddies is all up in the air that our deaf community, of which the afflicted one is a co-member of along with I, will have it's own epidemic/pandemic. He is telling them all in text messages and FB to, "just stay the hell home".

[Squinch]

12. Oh, my God. 350 at one work site! How many people work there?

I am glad that your friend is saying that. A close community MUST stay home to protect each other.

Stay well. I am in NY, and I live next to a hospital. The ambulance sirens go all night.

I hope your community fares better in this than we are. Good luck.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

15. Smithfield plant has 3,700 employees in Sioux Falls...

... and people drive 50 miles from every direction to work there, bringing the CV-45 virus into communities in 3 states, South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. Sioux Falls is at the crossroads of I-90 and I-29, so the commutes are no problem for most.

[Squinch]

42. Wow. That is frightening.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

44. It is now 438 Smithfield employees with CV-45...

... err... I mean CV-19. Getting close to 1000 persons statewide. Governor Krissy Noem says she will not be putting out a shelter in place order to any counties today. As per her press conference going on now, "sales tax and video lottery revenue is down". State will put people into hotels, "not into group medical facilities in auditoriums with 7, 000 people".

[Red Pest]

7. Are they washing the pills down with Koolaide?

...or are they mixing the hydroxychloroquine directly into the Koolaide?

[machoneman]

23. Trumpaide! Hydro + Trump wine!

[mountain grammy]

9. Ok, Gov..you go first!!

[DENVERPOPS]

11. RIGHT ON, MG

I would not put it past her to fein taking a couple of pills, (aspirin) in front of the camera........

[mountain grammy]

19. No kidding!

[DENVERPOPS]

21. That would probably rank

as the LEAST despicable thing she has ever done as a Republican.......NOT LOL

[mountain grammy]

22. They sure are a stupid bunch, these trumper republicans.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. The Republicon Party knows it

and they capitalize on it each and every single day.......

If and when the truth ever comes out years from now, we will see TONS of shit that the republicons have pulled off, especially the past three years, while having Trump's antics diverting attention, and the Massive Republican Owned media cooperating by only showing Trump's bullshit, and NEVER reporting on any of the multitude of destructive shit the Republicon Controlled Senate and administration is doing in the shadows......

WASF, and we are only a millimeter away from a Corporate Fascist Tyranny.

Democrats need desperately to after the Republicon controlled Senators. They are the ones keeping Trump in office for that reason alone. Even, by some miracle the Dems can win the election, they will only be right back in the same place with the Republican Senate obstructing everything, just as they did with Obama.......

Trump would be gone in a second if the Republicons didn't have control of the Senate.....

The leadership of the Dem's Party is sadly near non-existent. They need to be spending the money on going after every Republicon Senator up for re-election, every bit as much, if not more, than Trump.......

My favorite saying is; The Dems are walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and oblivious to the herd of charging elephants.......

I am dreading watching what is about to happen on November 3rd, and more so on November 4th. I fear it will be a nightmare confligration of biblical proportions........

[mountain grammy]

30. I can't even think about it..

All I know is Cory Gardner will lose his seat if I have anything to do about..

The DNC is a mess since Howard Dean left. He knew how to do it. I give directly to candidates.

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Howard Dean was a saint

And his absence has been sorely missed......No other Dem has stood up and taken his place, regretfully.

Adam Schiff did do an exemplary job but is probably worn out after the impeachment......He deserves massive admiration, especially considering that he new fully well it wouldn't matter a twit once it reached the U.S. Senate controlled by the Republicon's.......

[SergeStorms]

37. I'm not a Doctor.....

but I'm just as much a Doctor as Donald Trump, and I'd prescribe about a 1,000mg. dose for the Governor. For anyone else I'd prescribe about 300mg. but the Governor must lead by example, just to show everyone how safe this GOP touted drug is.

[mountain grammy]

38. I am also not a doctor

but my second opinion agrees with your first one..We're all doctors now

[SergeStorms]

40. We all have the same credentials as Trump...

as far as being Doctors goes. Let me say this, I value your opinion as a Doctor, mountain grammy, and I look to you for updates far more than I do Donald Trump's.

[not fooled]

10. OK, maggots, now's your chance

go volunteer to get dosed with red don's majick elixir.

[generalbetrayus]

13. And closely-related chloroquine is working so WELL in Brazil!

Another Potomac River Killer production.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. I love the pay walls we hit

when going to the sights.......They all Tout how it is free, they just want your email address......
That email address is far more valuable to them than the price of the subscription to their website.......

I know, I know, but if you don't mind the ton's of spam generated by them selling that info to everyone and anyone, go right ahead.

Look no further than Walgreens selling everyone's Rx info, (in addition to all the other personal info) to any tom dick and Republicon corporation. The CEO of Walgreens has repeatedly been nailed, since it is illegal to do that, but he laughingly told a reporter: I make 60 million selling the information, and the Fed's fine me a million???
No big deal, and besides, the fine is a tax deduction for us in addition!

[stillcool]

25. A clinical trial with records?

like testing? Of the living and the dead?

[samnsara]

26. i would not take that stuff..

[bdamomma]

27. that drug

is not good for cardiac patients or diabetics.

[turbinetree]

29. Did she get her degree from Trump University.........just asking...she hasn't read reports of

people dying from this drug, it wasn't designed for this ...............................

[BHDem53]

31. Prairie Palin strikes again.

[bluestarone]

33. I'm all for this testing IF

It's done in the US. Senate, on a day the Dems. are NOT included in the negotiations. (only RETHUGS)

[iluvtennis]

35. LOL 😂

[iluvtennis]

34. good luck with that Gov Noem. Has she not seen the news out of Brazil, France, etc

on the toxicity/dangerouness of hydroxychloroquine.

[dlk]

36. Did they miss the study where the patients developed cardiac arrthyhmias & many died?

Seriously, the definition of crazy is...

[DUar17]

39. First state? So Texas City, Texas was just a "test"

Concern is mounting after a doctor at a Texas nursing home started giving the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to dozens of elderly patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and tracking the outcomes in what he's calling an "observational study."

41. Related: South Dakota's governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation

South Dakota’s governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation’s largest coronavirus hot spots.

As governors across the country fell into line in recent weeks, South Dakota’s top elected leader stood firm: There would be no statewide order to stay home.
Such edicts to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kristi L. Noem said disparagingly, reflected a “herd mentality.” It was up to individuals — not government — to decide whether “to exercise their right to work, to worship and to play. Or to even stay at home.”
And besides, the first-term Republican told reporters at a briefing this month, “South Dakota is not New York City.”
But now South Dakota is home to one of the largest single coronavirus clusters anywhere in the United States, with more than 300 workers at a giant pork-processing plant falling ill. With the case numbers continuing to spike, the company was forced to announce the indefinite closure of the facility Sunday, threatening the U.S. food supply.

Right?
