> not leaving treatments on the table

There are large studies on this ongoing. If they show something, well, fine, that's good. Until then, no-one should be promoting a dangerous drug to members of the public.

Telling your populous, at a time when you are holding daily updates, there there is a promising drug or vaccine that scientists are researching, is an appropriate step towards maintaining some degree of hope. We cannot be liable for the 1/10e-6 percent of the population that takes this as a suggestion to self medicate with acquarium cleaner.

People have gotten absolutely desperate to interpret everything he says or does in the absolutely worst way.

"What do you have to lose?"

Those are appropriate words of hope and inspiration?

I didn't say he spoke appropriately. I said the topic was appropriate. Most of the flak is from people claiming he is putting others in danger (asinine claim that denies adults agency by the way) by bringing up a potential treatment. But don't let that stop you from finding alternative ways to focus on only the negative aspects of the tweet.

I mean Jesus Christ people, this is literally evidence that he is listening to his experts because he clearly rambles like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Let me repeat that for those of you who will silently downvote: the fact that he's bringing up these treatments upon questioning from reporters, and deferring to experts in real time, is evidence that he's listening to experts, which is exactly what his critics want him to do!

This bias is infuriating. Apparently Trump critics are incapable of seeing shades of grey.
