No doubt we'll be overwhelmed by the humility of the anti-Trumpers as well.

//Trump will be unbearable now//
No change there then.

Lol, he can't win, can he?
He had blood on his hands for mentioning the useless, deadly HCQ.
Now more and more people are using/testing it, he's wrong again.

Trials have been on going since April in other countries. Without any proof that it is effective.

Can’t help thinking that some people really hope trials prove unsuccessful. Funny old world. Got to wonder where their priorities lie.

[Zacs-Master]

It would be a very strange person who hoped that a trial didn’t work. Looking at the evidence to date and the numerous tests / trials carried out, it’s not looking promising. Results not expected until the end of the year.

ZM: "It would be a very strange person who hoped that a trial didn’t work. " - that's the TNL for you zacs, they'd much rather be right than find an answer.

Zacs, //It would be a very strange person who hoped that a trial didn’t work.//

Indeed it would.

//numerous tests / trials carried out, it’s not looking promising.//

I gave you a link last night to a trial that looks promising. See what you did there? Course you do.

Yes, that worked naomi - thanks. Trump will always be vilified, no matter what he says.

Odd fellow, won't have a beer but will ingest random pharmaceuticals.

Naomi, you posted a link to a very small trial where the drug was said to have some effect on mildly affected patients i.e. it was a trial which looked at the efficacy of the drug on cure, not prevention, which is what this OP is talking about and is why Trump takes it.
