Washington Corona virus has killed 74697 people all over the world so far. So far, 1346566 cases have been reported all over the world. Of these, 367004 cases have been reported in the US alone. So far 10871 people have died due to this. Recently, US President Donald Trump also appealed to India to help prevent the epidemic. He said that India had also urged to supply hydroxychloroquine, a medicine used to treat malaria. However, India had banned its exports shortly before. Trump had also said that the initial results of this drug on Corona patients have been much better.
After his statement, it was believed that the use of this drug has been allowed in the US on patients with corona virus. But this has not happened yet. Not only this, American doctors are not unanimous about this. Doctors say that there should be no haste about this and more tests need to be done on this. Significantly, the largest manufacturer of this drug in the whole world is India.
President Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro also believes that there is no problem with the use of this medicine on patients with corona virus. These were said by Navarro during a TV interview the next day after President Trump’s statements at the White House press conference about the drug. Trump had said that he is not a doctor, but he definitely has a common sense. According to Navarro, the US President is hurt by the deaths from the Corona virus and wants to remedy it as soon as possible. They hope that this drug can prove effective on corona patients.
However, medical experts have cautioned him on this opinion of the President. These experts say that it can also be dangerous. Dr. Patric Harris, President of the American Medical Association. She would not like to privately prescribe this drug to any corona virus-infected patient. According to him, the side effect of this drug will be more than the relief we are expecting. Use of this medicine without testing and examination will not be right. The meeting that took place on Saturday at the White House regarding the Corona virus was very hot.
Navarro had top American Infectious Disease Expert Doctor Anthony Fokie up to the challenge in this meeting. In the opinion of Dr. Anthony, it should be used only after the complete test. Navarro stopped Fokie, saying that the reports and information he had were enough to use it. He also said that the current information is telling this medicine to be effective. Let me tell you that the use of hydroxychloroquine is allowed in the US only on patients with arthritis and malaria.
