Yawn. It was a topic of widespread discussion. An example:

[h=2]Hydroxychloroquine Now Being Advocated to Fight Coronavirus; Trump Supporting?[/h]March 18th, 2020Now this is getting interesting!
Tucker Carlson is, as I type, interviewing one of the COVID-19 researchers from Stanford, who is quoting the new French study that shows (he says) a 100% cure rate using hydroxychloroquine. (I don’t know if my pestering of my contact at FoxNews helped instigate the coverage, I sent him the earlier Stanford-led research report that use China and S. Korea results with the drug).
The Stanford researcher said that Trump has authorized mass buys (I think that’s what he said) of the drug.
Here’s the website with the latest results. Could be a Big Let-Down for Big Pharma, which I’m sure wants to produce a variety of treatments and vaccines.
I expect this story will evolve rapidly in the coming days.
Chloroquine for COVID19

Not exactly the kind of huge message as a presidential briefing. Consider the audience.

I'm speaking about the time frame. It was premature; a dangerous drug if not prescribed by a doctor and it was out there available, practically begging for people to experiment on their own. "Gee, grandma took that for her arthritis and I think there's still some in her medicine cabinet". You just don't set the scene for that to happen unless you are reckless. Especially if you don't remind people how dangerous it can be.

The drug has to be prescribed.
You're not the first to object because you learned of it from Trump.
It had been talked about a couple of days before Trump said anything.

You just defeated your own position. If we learned about it only because of trump, that speaks precisely to the nature of the president’s ability to reach an unusually large audience, and why he needs to be careful with his words. His recklessness is why one man is already dead.

So much for reading Comprehension.....just because YOU learned it from Trump, DOES NOT MEAN, that it WASNT TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE TRUMP SAID ANYTHING.

You’re defeating your own position with that post. It’s extraordinary that you’re unable to see this.

Nonetheless, you were wrong.

No one said "longer term" because no one knows whether there will be a longer term. You made a non-point.

Longer term use would be, for instance, periodic administration of the drug like a vaccination to prevent infection. Hope that clarifies.

There has been some experimentation with prophylactic use, but the focus has been on therapeutic use.

I don't care who the hell said it - could have been George Washington - would still be wrong. Prescription sitting in many homes right now. Prescription abuse is nothing new; as I said before: sharing, selling, stealing, shady doctors.....

You're just a tantrum in search of a target.

We are left with two options here.
Option 1-You are LITERALLY stupid enough to believe that when the President began talking about the potential effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID 19, YOU think that was a signal to people like YOU that you should go out and consume ****ing fish tank cleaning supplies. OR....
Option 2-You KNOW how ****ing stupid you sound but you are so committed to your deranged Trump hatred that you would PUBLICLY make posts making yourself look stupid.

But he shouldn't have made it a national message while boasting that he (non-doctor) was very confident about it. He just wanted personal glory - already people are talking as if he came up with the idea himself - just what he likes. Dear Leader has uncanny genius - beats doctors to the punch.

Um...no...it was a message to his supporters. Only people who support him are stupid enough to take him at his word. The rest of us are thinking, “Hey, this guy has lied to us over seventeen thousand times now. How about we not put stuff in our bodies as a result of anything he says?”

A whopping 35% of Americans believe Trump is honest. That means that every time he opens his mouth about some chemical, he’s putting 114 million incredibly stupid Americans at risk.

Bottom line ... if your son or daughter was infected with the Virus would you fill a prescription for Hydroxychloroquine to help relieve their symptoms?
If not, it must either be because Trump mentioned that it appeared to be a promising treatment for the Virus' symptoms, or because the drug hasn't completed a controlled study.
I hope you're not offended if I tell you both are crazy reasons.

Again...you apparently are either
Option 1-So incredibly stupid that you believe when Trump mentioned the potential effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID 19, YOU think that was a signal to people like YOU that you should go out and consume ****ing fish tank cleaning supplies. OR....
Option 2-You KNOW how ****ing stupid you sound but you are so committed to your deranged Trump hatred that you would PUBLICLY make posts making yourself look stupid.

Dood...why you insist on doubling down is beyond me. But there you went.

Well...that DOES make sense since Cardinal believes that the discussion of the medical use of Hydroxychloroquine is code for GO SWALLOW FISH TANK CLEANING SUPPLIES!!!

At least, thats what HE hears.

The couple who ate fish tank cleaner as a result of what trump said were trump supporters.

So no, not people like me.
