President Donald Trump hosted some Americans who have recovered from the CCP virus on April 14 at the White House, including a state lawmaker who credited the president for her recovery.
Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett, who was among the former patients who met with Trump, said that earlier this month she took hydroxychloroquine after testing positive for COVID-19, and almost immediately began experiencing relief from symptoms that included swollen lymph nodes and shortness of breath.
Whitsett credited Trump because he has repeatedly touted the anti-malaria drug during CCP virus press briefings.
While the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, kills a small percentage of patients and can cause serious symptoms in older adults and those with underlying health conditions, most people who become infected only have mild illness and should recover at home.
2 Received Hydroxychloroquine
Speaking to the president, reporters, administration officials, and others at the White House, Whitsett said her condition “went from zero to 100” after being “afraid for [her] life.”
“So you thought you were going to die?” Trump asked.
“I thought I was going to die,” she said.
The president later told Whitsett he would connect her with the White House physician to discuss her preexisting Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness.
Mark Campbell, a Michigan resident who used to play football professionally, said he had a high fever and was receiving care at the hospital before he was prescribed hydroxychloroquine.
“I just said the malaria drug,” Campbell said he told doctors, and they prescribed the drug.
Trump suggested people should take the drug, which is approved for emergency use for COVID-19 patients and traditionally used to combat malaria, lupus, and other ailments.
“What have you got to lose? I actually havent heard a bad story,” he said. “The word is out the people get it.”
He then pointed to reporters and said, “These people dont get it.”
