President Donald Trump has twice tested negative for the coronavirus, but during a briefing at the White House on Saturday, he said he"may take" the drug hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19. He suggested it has protective effects against the novel coronavirus, although researchers say there's no evidence of that.
Trump doubles down on unproven drugs to treat and prevent coronavirus"I think people should [take hydroxychloroquine]," he told reporters at a White House press briefing on Saturday."If it were me, in fact, I might do it anyway. I may take it ... I have to ask my doctors about that. But I may take it.
Both Kim and Sparks are members of the alliance and hope physicians will add their patients to this registry to help understand how rheumatologic conditions such as lupus -- which require drugs that may dampen immune systems and autoimmune diseases -- are affected by Covid-19. If anything, because lupus patients are on immunosuppressive drugs, they might be at increased risk of Covid-19 infection compared to the general population, Sparks said.
