Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Asks Trump Administration for Chloroquine After Reversing Ban
[BREITBART] In an embarrassing reversal, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has asked the federal government for anti-malaria medication that may help treat the Chinese coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
after effectively banning doctors in the state from proscribing it to patients suffering from the deadly illness.
Down the Memory Hole™...
The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) recently threatened doctors with "administrative action" if they prescribed Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine to treat the coronavirus.

"Prescribing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine without further proof of efficacy for treating COVID-19 or with the intent to stockpile the drug may create a shortage for patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other ailments for which chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are proven treatments," read the letter. "... Again, these are drugs that have not been proven scientifically or medically to treat COVID-19."

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
Michigan officials have since scrubbed the threat from the letter and now seek the drugs from the Trump administration, according to Bridge magazine.

During a Monday presser, Whitmer appeared to change her tune, stating she wants Michigan to be "nimble" with respect to its efforts combating the pandemic.

"We want to ensure that doctors have the ability to prescribe these medicines," the governor said. "We also want to make sure that the people who have prescriptions that predated COVID-19 have access to the medication they need. And so all of the work that we’ve done is trying to strike that balance."

#9 Make her agree to write "Trump is the best President evah." on an unerasable blackboard every time a dose is delivered to a MI patient?

Carried live by CNN, of course.
