Everything Cancelled!!! Literally!!

The guy in question consumed chloroquine phosphate, which is an aquarium cleaner.

The medication he mistook it for is hydroxychloroquine (brand name Chloroquine), which is an anti-malarial treatment that seems to have helped some people suffering the current pandemic bug.

Why bring the facts?

I thought that stuff sounded familiar as a fish medicine. Problem is it’s people listening to the big talking head.

Agreed, that's a reaaaal big problem.

Congrats Ohio, good luck Texas… another day in the compound.

Chloroquine phosphate

https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682318.html

It is NOT approved by the FDA as a treatment of Covid 19. It is not a wonder drug or cure for Covid 19.

And yes it is also used to treat aquarium parasites.

Listen to doctors. Not talking heads on TV.

I dunno … My area is very snowy in the winter and the schools have a lot of snowdays … The years they get over 2 weeks accumulated of snowdays the schools decide whether to make up them days into the summer vacation -- and that's after only 2 weeks off

I doubt that. Most students were almost at spring mid-terms. That is 3/4 of the way through an academic year. Perhaps they will shift to an online effort, or perhaps they will adjust the next years curriculum a bit. Requesting that a student repeat something they were well more than halfway through is a bit too extreme, I think.

I wonder how all this school stuff will effect future grades ?

Will we see an entire generation of kids in America held back a year ?

A man from Arizona is dead and his wife is in ICU from taking chloroquine. It's NOT a treatment or a preventive for the virus and can poison you. Please don't self medicate.

my sister in VA said schools are now closed the rest of the year. not even doing the home school thing. I expect NY will soon announce this as well

The announcement seems to have taken everyone by surprise. It is clear that nobody is going into a school building this academic year. But other than that, even the school districts aren't entirely sure what this means... it would be funny, if it was happening to someone else.
