But anything that plays to Trump's narrative is fine, who cares if it's dangerous as well as idiotic.
What makes this sort of lunacy so dangerous is that 40% of Americans believe in creationism.
Really ???? Really ???
Biased much ????

One of the only countries to have a advanced medical system and an advanced pharma industry which has been supplying massive supplies of everything from viagra to cancer medication is India.
India also has incidence of Malaria - so they have studied the similarities/differences between covid 19 and malaria.
Here is why India isn't the best candidate to have copied -
Indians have higher immunity to corona.

To gain further insights into host responses to viral infection, they predict that antiviral host-miRNAs (microRNA) may be controlling the viral pathogenesis. The analysis reveals nine host miRNAs which can potentially target SARS-CoV2 genes. Interestingly, the nine miRNAs do not have targets in SARS and MERS genomes. Also, hsa-miR-27b is the only unique miRNA which has a target gene in the Indian SARS-CoV2 genome.
So Injuns have a gene that mutates the virus and sends it to its doom. OK India is a good example to follow while developing a vaccine - my thought. Don't expect India's results but its a good one to start off with cos there is nothing else.
Ofcourse Modi has put an export block on a bunch of meds, including Tylenol, and Trump is trying to get him to open it back up.
Cool.
