I just struggle to see the connection between Lupus, which is an auto-immune disease and malaria; and the COVID virus. As I understand, it is being subjected to clinical trials right now to see how it affects the COVID. But, I'm not an epidemiologist or even a scientist. What has made me so suspicious of the drug as a "miracle drug" is when Trump - who is not a Dr. or a scientist - started touting it as a "game changer".
Let's face it - if any of us (and I hope this doesn't happen) find ourselves in ICU and on a ventilator, we're going to get whatever drugs the Drs. will try to save our lives, and we won't be able to have a debate with a tube stuffed down our throats. I have a feeling at the end of the day, there will be some very interesting conclusions to come out about responses to various treatments.
