Remember the couple in Arizona who drank the fish tank cleaner because it had chloroquine in it and took it because trump said take it ? Wife is under investigation for murder, wonder are cnn running with the new development.

Your implication is that it WAS responsible and sensible of Trump and Fox News to be endlessly hyping chloroquine as a wonder drug for COVID treatment?
de blasio singling out jews for not social distancing, Cuomo calling homeless sleeping on trains disgusting I'm sure they will show the same gusto in tackling these stories

"My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed," Mr. de Blasio said in another post. "I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.""

The Hasidic community is suffering hugely from this outbreak, yet in Brooklyn and Rockland County they've been congregating in huge crowds for weddings and funerals all through this crisis. They were getting called out on this six weeks ago, to no avail. About time DeBlasio spoke up. The authorities were being accused before this of being afraid of criticizing them.

And perhaps Cuomo could have chosen his words more carefully with respect to the homeless on the subway, but he is absolutely correct, especially now that train frequency is way down, forcing essential workers, including healthcare professionals, who have to travel to still huddle in the cars with sleeping and often mentally ill homeless people. The MTA, who operate the subways, have lost dozens of employees to COVID as well.

Back to my question - are you implying there was nothing wrong with the Trump/Fox News chloroquine campaign?

Supposing for the sake argument that that was true (it sounds nothing short of idiotic to me), in what way does that excuse or negate the utterly irresponsible and reckless promotion of an untested treatment by the US President, backed by his propaganda wing at Fox News (some of whom are apparently still trying to save face by promoting it following the NIH's findings)?

I haven't seen or heard of large crowds of any of those groups repeatedly flouting the public health restrictions around New York like the Hasidic Jews were.

No response when called out on it.
