President Trump referenced a malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, probably the only drug I do not have in my medicine cabinent that has been available world wide for 50 years. The drug is owned by Bayer which is a German company. So far there have been 14,544 Wuhan virus infections in Germany. There has been 43 deaths. The German death rate is .2% whereas world death rate is 3.5%. Might be that the FDA will permit its use to treat Wuhan Virus here also. Bayer sent some three million tablets to CDC to use here.

“The drug is owned by Bayer”

hydroxychloroquine has been off-patent for half a century and therefore not owned by anyone ... anyone can make and sell that drug and TEVA and Mylan just announced that they’re gearing up to manufacture and donate millions of doses of that drug to U.S. hospitals ...
