“Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, Banner Poison and Drug Information Center medical director. “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.”

This idiot ingested fish tank cleaner and died and now the media is going crazy claiming Trump killed him. Can these guys stoop any lower?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

An Arizona man has died and his wife is in critical condition after they both took the drug chloroquine phosphate, which has been touted as a treatment for coronavirus despite a lack of study on it or approval by the World Health Organization.

The couple, both in their 60s, required immediate hospital assistance within 30 minutes of ingesting the drug, which is normally used at aquariums to clean fish tanks, according to Banner Health, which is headquartered in Arizona.

“Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, Banner Poison and Drug Information Center medical director. “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.”

The man couldn't be resuscitated when he arrived at a hospital, but his wife was able to throw up much of the chemical, Banner said.

What they consumed was reportedly not the malaria medication form of chloroquine, but an ingredient listed on a parasite treatment for fish, according to NBC News.

Roughly 80 percent of people who become infected with COVID-19 only require symptomatic care and self-isolation to prevent the risk of infecting others, according to the WHO.

Banner Health advises checking with a primary care physician first. They added that the use of specific treatments, including those labeled as 'anti-COVID-19' is not recommended for non-hospitalized patients -- like chloroquine.

“We are strongly urging the medical community to not prescribe this medication to any non-hospitalized patients,” said Dr. Brooks.

There is currently no vaccine or treatment approved for the disease, however, researchers are studying existing treatments and working on experimental ones.

Chloroquine has been used in various medications to treat malaria and lupus and doctors in countries including South Korea, China, and France have reported the treatments could maybe help, according to the New York Times.

But those beliefs have not come from large, carefully controlled studies that would provide the global medical community actual proof they work, the paper reported.

Chloroquine phosphate shares the same active ingredient as certain malaria drugs that President Trump has said could be possibly effective in treating the coronavirus.

"HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game-changers in the history of medicine," he Tweeted on Saturday.
The man's wife told NBC News she watched televised briefings during which Trump talked about the possible benefits of chloroquine to help the virus.

"I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, 'Hey, isn't that the stuff they're talking about on TV?'" she said, according to the broadcasting company. "We were afraid of getting sick."

Anthony Fauci, the nation's top disease expert appointed to the White House Coronavirus Task Force said the therapy must be tested before its safety and efficacy could be assumed.
When asked if the drug was promising on Friday, Fauci said “the answer is no," describing it as "anecdotal evidence," according to ABC News.

The man's death came as the number of COVID-19 cases in Arizona spiked more than 50% in one day, from 152 on Sunday to 235 on Monday, according to the state Health Department.

It marked the third COVID-19 death in Arizona. Two men, one in his 70s and one in his 50s, died previously from the disease. Both had underlying conditions.

Self Medicating?


man?

this was a fellow trump supporter lmfao. Trump told them to take the medicine. They took it. They became ill in 20 minutes

I see what the klan is trying to do. Enflameo up early and trying to pollute brains with this media bullshit again Lmfaooooooooooo. Fucking loser.

Trump killed one of his supporters because he’s a fucking idiot trying to give medical advice. And idiots like YOU would take his advice over a doctors advice. This is your loyalty to him. You know it’s true.

ANY of the klan members could’ve been in the exact same position.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

What Enflameos articles won’t tell you I am sure....


The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings during which President Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine. Even though no drugs are approved to prevent or treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, some early research suggests it may be useful as a therapy.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

The couple — both in their 60s and potentially at higher risk for complications of the virus — decided to mix a small amount of the substance with a liquid and drink it as a way to prevent the coronavirus.


Trump Trump Trump Trump!!!!! What a genius. A couple of dumb fucks listening to the ultimate dumb fuck.


Yet ITS THE MEDIAS FAULT!!!!! Lmfaoooooooooo abhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahaa


Enflameo or any other of the klan members here EASILY could’ve been in this same position.

Typical Libtard twisting the facts. No one told this guy to take what he took.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

Within 20 minutes, both became extremely ill, at first feeling "dizzy and hot."
"I started vomiting," the woman told NBC News. "My husband started developing respiratory problems and wanted to hold my hand."
She called 911. The emergency responders "were asking a lot of questions" about what they'd consumed. "I was having a hard time talking, falling down."



Moral of the story? Fade everything Trump says

​

Typical Libtard twisting the facts. No one told this guy to take what he took.

Babahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha no one did. But you guys would drop to your knees for trump. So of course you’re going to listen to whatever he says. He’s never been wrong here.

Awwwwwwww. Bahahhahahaha. Somebody knows Trump fucked up. We will let Enflameo scream it’s the media’s fault though LMFAOOOOOO

Darwinism award

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

Crazy how I got to come to this forum and set it straight. It’s so fucking easy because all you losers say is “Media it’s the media’s fault!!!!! Not trumps!!!!!” At least one fucking time come with something original that addresses real shit regarding the topic. But never that. Just the media’s fault. Typical right wing extremist whacko shit.


I told Enflameo if he’s trying to not be wrong about shit my suggestion would be don’t defend Trump. But he loves this man. You guys would worship anything and believe anything Trump ever says. Only if you were that loyal about your country. Not just a puppet.

Perhaps you have a reading comprehension problem. For one thing he took chloroquine phosphate, which is used to clean fish tanks and not the chloroquine that is used for fighting malaria. Even if he took the right one he didnt see a doctor. More than likely you are just twisting the facts like I said, but you could be too dumb to understand what is written. Probably a little of both!

Lmao. Doesn’t matter what it was used for. They took it because Trump gave his stupid ass medical opinion.


I can’t tell if a lot of the shit he says is a joke or not. When he went to go get tested he was saying he should’ve been a doctor because it comes naturally for him. Lmfaoooooooooooo.

His medical advice killed one of his supporters.


You guys claim you are trump supporters. Go drink some fish tank cleaner. Show us you are real supporters.


Those two who did that. REAL supporters. You guys are fake wannabes. Lmfaoooooo.
