An Arizona man is died of a heart attack and his wife was hospitalized after the couple ingested a type of chloroquine, a chemical that has been hailed recently by President Trump as a possible 'game changer' in the fight against novel coronavirus.
"The last thing that we want right now is to inundate our emergency departments with patients who believe they found a vague and risky solution that could potentially jeopardize their health," Brooks said.The president, at a daily briefing on Thursday, spoke at length about chloroquine and a variant, hydroxychloroquine, as a promising preventative or treatment for COVID-19, even as Dr.
The president said he was"a big fan" of the drug's promise against COVID-19 even as he acknowledged that it needed to be tested first. In a briefing on Friday, Fauci, the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , redoubled his caution when asked by reporters whether chloroquine was considered a treatment for COVID-19."The answer is no, and the evidence that you're talking about ... is anecdotal evidence," he said.
However, over the weekend, Trump tweeted again about the drug, saying it had"a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine."
