This is almost unbelievable, if it wasn't for the fact the governor is a democrat. Hopefully voters are paying close attention to this stuff and will remember in November. All of these authoritarian tendencies are being triggered by the opportunity known as COVID-19.

The DEMOCRAT governor of Nevada has signed an executive order banning the use of hydroxychloroquine as a medical treatment for those suffering from the coronavirus.

LAS VEGAS — Nevada's governor has signed an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs for someone who has the coronavirus.

Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak's order Tuesday restricting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine comes after President Donald Trump touted the medication as a treatment for the virus. (read more)

This level of severe Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) will immediately open a black-market for people to travel across state lines to obtain their medical needs. Great job idiot.

I hate to say I warnedyaso, but...

Shows that power-mad authoritarian nut cases present themselves as from all across the two-party 'spectrum' (sic.)

Sisolak is total and complete fucking COVidiot. A pathetic, sycophantic Dumbocrat. Is there anybody in Nevada to tell this bobble-headed moron that doctors back east and around the world have a substantial cure rate by administering chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to patients.

Since when can a governor direct licensed physicians' prescribing practices?

Yupo You asking about doing it legally? Under law?

"We don need no stinkin law!"

Some follow up ...The health official that advised him on this is not a licensed physician. And the Nevada Dept. of Corrections is hoarding the drug. When do the tribunals begin?

In my state, regular prescriptions for Zithromax and Quinine drugs were cut off several weeks ago. Pharmacist told me it was to save these drugs exclusively for CV treatments.

Yupo Damn! And just when I'd hoped they'd be bringing back a drug originally discovered/invented as a part of a anti-malaria viral remedy: Methaqualone! (True, that.)

Rowan Cocoan You can still get tonic water. Usually 60mg/liter. Diet version has less sugar. If I lived on the mosquito coast, I'd have a bit everyday. My understanding is that it suppresses malaria symptoms, but does not cure. Not my field of expertise.
