Officials are working out final details in plans to begin clinical trials next week for a malaria drug combination that appears to hold some promise for confronting the coronavirus pandemic.
New York state Health Department officials are making arrangements to determine what patients at which hospitals will be allowed to participate in trials with hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax and chloroquine, a senior official at the department with knowledge of the plan told ABC News. The bulk of the patients are expected to be in the New York City metro area because the region has the biggest cluster of cases.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced earlier this week that he was eager to get the trials started. By Tuesday, the drugs were in New York and officials were working to identify who could participate.

Awww man. I thought you were just posting an old article. This is very disappointing. Wonder what the next “delay” will be.
Meanwhile hundreds will DIE A HORRID DEATH before next week....................
I hope cuomo doesn’t ban it..
Wait a second, I thought they were already starting the clinical trials for these drugs this week, what is this “May” start next week business?
Amy Klobechar’s husband Im betting already received the drug, he was coughing up blood earlier this week but all of a sudden he’s all better and able to go home..he got the drug
Dang...I thought these NY trials had already started :(
I would bet you are right.
Gee, I thought some of the other state’s governors (Michigan being one) who outlawed the prescribing of it, even as some doctors were being reported to hoarding the medicines for their own personal use and for family and friends.
“Wait a second, I thought they were already starting the clinical trials for these drugs this week, what is this “May” start next week business?
The Malaria Drug was delivered three days ago, WTH? Cuomo needs more dead bodies to jump start his Presidential Campaign? Had there been a mention of Clinical Trial as a preventative Prophylactic that would have made sense. The article is one day old but still, WTH?
The drugs will be successful and that will destroy the lib and pearl clutcher narrative. They want to delay the treatment until they can come up with the next Trump bashing whiny narrative.
Stay tuned.
WTF? these trials were supposed to have started this past Tuesday ... looks like NY officials are dithering while people die ...
Trump announced they were beginning trials March 24.
If they were able to block him and delay it a week, they are going to be able to delay it two weeks.
Trials begin April 7, if we are lucky.
He should have, and still should, pick a RED state to try this.
Oh, you mean those drug types that Trump mentioned as possibilities, but our all med school qualified media poo poo’d?
They seem to be purposely taking their time with this.
They should be given this stuff before they need the hospital.
I would think many other countries are also working on it.
WTF? I thought they were to start last Tuesday?
I’m thinking he’s got a more serious health problem......................
