    Maybe Australia has stumbled onto something here. Let's hope so. It seems a French Researcher has also stumbled on this.

    I don't give a crap if this dude did a bunch of secret crimes no one knew about, if he found something to defeat Coronavirus and it ends up being proven, we celebrate and maybe still salvage a summer.

    No. He has paid up.

    The weird thing is.......this 'breakthrough' from the Australian research mob preceded the French by a couple of weeks and Trump by lights years. But......it does not matter (other than for bragging rights) and let's hope it is effective. There are two existing 'drugs'...that quinine one and other used for HIV.

    Let's just be clear. The money he 'donated' to copy what Trump announced a week ago is just a fraction of the money he stole from his workers. Sorry, but this guy is a rolled gold ********, as is any person who thinks this donation absolves him from stealing money and taking food off the table of his workers. The only way this fat pig is not in jail is because the state where he operates, QLD is a corrupt tin pot dump full of corrupt businessmen and corrupt lawyers who kiss his arse.

    Clive Palmer gag clause: QN workers told to make no ‘disparaging comments’ if they want entitlements

    When the company collapsed in 2016, it owed about $300m to creditors, including local businesses and the federal government, which covered the entitlements of many workers. It is estimated workers are still owed about $7m.

    It's what Trump has been pushing for over a week but this article touts the use of Chloroquine whereas I believe the US is moving towards Hydroxychloroquine which is actually a less toxic derivative of Chloroquine.

    HIV drugs were used in clinical trials in China and were deemed not to work.

    So long as someone comes up with something but allies should be working together to find a treatment/vaccine instead of trying to outdo each other.
