From Trump's lips to Cuomo's ears:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday that his state is set to begin clinical trials this week for a malaria drug that President Donald Trump has touted as a possible treatment for coronavirus.
“The president is optimistic about these drugs, and we are all optimistic that it could work,” Cuomo said at a daily press conference in Albany.
This therapy delivers results (or doesn't) pretty quickly. The normal course of treatment is ten days [eg, French mini-trial] but if we don't hear rumors of success or failure before then we need to revisit HIPPA.
