Right now the coverage is focused on potus getting well and generally positive. Do you remember the last time he took hcq, what a shit show it was? If he announced he was taking it at this point, the narrative would change for the worse.
All that is being released now is what potus wants to be released. Do you know he is NOT taking hcq? Wait for him to recover, the media praises remdesivir, and then he can drop the “oh yeah, I was also on hcq” to watch minds melt.
