President Trump has been on TV saying nice things about the promise of anti-malarial drugs in treating the Covid-19 virus. Meanwhile Nevada's Democrat Governor Sisolak has banned their use in treating the disease in his state.
I'm not clear how either of these worthies knows anything useful about anti-viral drug therapies. The medical people who know won't say much, and we end up with politicians plugging or banning therapies ... how is this useful?
I am entirely disinterested in the views of either gentleman about matters on which they demonstrably know no more than I. At least President Trump has a cadre of qualified people to advise him on such matters. Does a NV governor? It seems unlikely.
Politicians pontificating about medical technicalities make as little sense as show biz freaks trying to instruct us about politics. Neither deserves an audience when they stray beyond their job descriptions which, for presidents and governors include exhorting us to follow safe sanitary practices and informing us about their activities to help the medical folks care for us.
