SiliconWizard:
Seriously? Anyone taking medical "advice" from a random talk of their president instead of taking it from a medical professional would be dumb. Sorry. You don't go to your president to get a consultation.

My point with that was his wife wanted a divorce and didn't like him. She didn't have him take it, and she didn't take it, because they believed trump. She had called him the psycho in chief. She likely found what its effects were and decided to have him take a significant amount. For what it's worth hydroxychloroquine appears to be much safer as a therapeutic compared to standard chloroquine. I get it though he can't talk because people might hear it. I'm sure he'll heed that advice.

Chances are those groups being treated with the drug are more severe cases to begin with.
In other words, the survival rate difference could just be contributed by survivor's bias.

He's apparently not happy about air pollution levels going down so he wants to relax the standards to make them go back up. Really the wrong thing to do when there is clear evidence that air pollution makes COVID-19 worse.

No you don't go to your president to get a consultation, but when he spouts this stuff it's much more like him coming to you, and yes, there are an awful lot of dumb people.

As nctnico says, the whole point is that Trump should refrain from any statement that can be (remotely) interpreted as medical advice. Even Boris doesn't do that!

(I don't know if Bolsinaro does)

You know it, I know it, people should know it, if not... then Darwin is having a good day. At some point you can't fix stupid.
