Tonite a doctor from a hospital in New York said they've had 100 patients and haven't lost one yet. And he says they wait until the patient is critical before administering the drug.
Also, Trump ordered the FDA to cut more red tape today to put a vaccine on the fast track to getting approved.
Dr. Zev Zelenko is in a highly infected area, Kiryas Joel, New York. Today he said he is up to 500 patients treated without a death using hydroxychlorequine in combination with another drug which I can't spell at this point.
He says he is in contact with the White House. Donald Trump has approved use of the medication. Israel has donated 6 million pills to U.S. That would put the supply up around 10 million pills. Dr. Zelenko prescribes 10 pills to be taken twice a day for 5 days.
