President Trump has announced that the FDA will make experimental drugs available to doctors to fight the coronavirus. These drugs could potentially hold the key to beating this virus.

According to Fox News:

President Trump announced Thursday that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is immediately making experimental drugs — including those used for treating malaria — available as part of the ongoing effort to tackle the spread of the coronavirus.

Trump announced at a White House press briefing that chloroquine, a drug designed for use in malaria, has been FDA approved and will be made available immediately.

“I have directed the FDA to eliminate rules and bureaucracy so work can proceed rapidly, quickly and fast,” he said. “We have to remove every barrier.”

Addressing potential safety concerns, Trump noted that it had been used previously in treating malaria, “so we know if things don’t go as planned, it’s not going to kill anybody.”

This is the latest aggressive move made by the administration to get the upper hand on the virus that has halted much of the daily life that Americans are accustomed to.
