Bad news sells. That is still the theme of reporters.

I just watched the news conference with the president and his staff. There are some reporters there that just wanted to keep asking the same question over and over again. They wanted to know why the president recommends using drugs to treat this new virus.

Well this virus has been going around for four months. People have been treated in other countries with great results. Just because America has not done their own testing does not negate the testing other countries have done. These recommended drugs don't kill people. So what would be the problem?

When this first came out and was spreading in my area, very little was known about it. The cases resembled cold and flu and some of those people treated it like a cold or flu. In my job, I am at high risk of exposure. I still am. So what I started doing was taking the DayQuil Severe cold & flu. I even bought more to replace the one I used up. It did not kill me. I still work with being at high risk of exposure, and I have not had any symptoms.

So what is the issue of taking something that will save your life? I would like to hear those reporters answer that!
