There are consequences for breaking and entering. Maybe her death will teach a lesson to other Trumphumpers.

Nelson McKeeby Worshiper at Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) (1966–present) What ever became of the 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine purchased by Trump's aid Peter Navarro? How much was paid? The hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine fiasco was an example of government waste in a time when congress was trying to put the breaks on expansive spending. The government started stockpiling supplies of the drug in late March, 2020 after President Trump touted it as "very encouraging" and "very powerful" and a "game-changer," despite no proof that it benefited COVID-19 patients. 94 million doses were sourced through various means. 31 million were distributed causing an estimated 770 deaths from misapplication before the stop order leaving 63 million doses on hand. The state of Ohio purchased more than 2 million hydroxychloroquine pills for $602,629, Utah purchased $800,000 worth of the drug and Oklahoma spent $2 million on it. Perhaps another 40 million dollars was spent by states in a bidding war that drove prices up. The stockpile was mostly destroyed in January of this year to prevent misuse. Eithne Rosdhu February 20 Good answer. Another point to consider was that in the rush to source hydroxychloroquine, people with medical conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis who were under treatment with it were left out in the cold. I have a friend with lupus who at one point was only able to get 3 days’ worth of hydroxychloroquine at a time because her pharmacy was having to ration what they could procure. My friend got through it, albeit with a lot of stress (which is a known aggravator for autoimmune conditions) but I expect that there were people out there who were harmed. Alison Hartough So true. It was about two months before I could get my hydroxychlororquine refilled. Steve Thomas What do you mean, “entirely unqualified?” He’s the MOST qualified, just ask him: “I like this stuff. I really get it,” Trump boasted, citing a “great, super-genius uncle” who taught at MIT. Trump professed that it must run in the family genes. “People are really surprised I understand this stuff,” he said. “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”
