Cuomo's Executive Order
Hydroxychloroquine only allowed for FDA-approved purposes. Fighting SARS-2 is not one of them.
Near the end:
The initial regimen (used by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko) called for a
five day course,
not 14 days, of 200mg Hydroxychloroquine twice daily, 500mg Zithromax, once daily, and 220 mg Zinc Sulfate once daily.
But the bottom line is that the Democrats were trying their damnedest to deny treatment which had showed promise to the people they allegedly represent, even though those politicians don't know squat about medicine.
