An Arizona man died and his wife was hospitalized after the two overdosed on chloroquine phosphate believing it would help "prevent" them from getting the coronavirus.

The media is blaming President Trump because he has been touting the popular anti-malaria drug chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, which some small scale studies found may be a highly effective treatment against the coronavirus in small doses.

👉Her husband is dead & she's in the ICU after ingesting chloroquine:

"We saw Trump on TV -- every channel -- & all of his buddies and that this was safe," she said.
"Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."

Despite having no symptoms, the couple reportedly each took a full teaspoon of chloroquine phosphate, which is far beyond the normal recommended dose:

"I was in the pantry stacking dog food and I just saw it sitting in the back shelf and thought, ‘Hey, isn’t that the stuff they’re talking about on TV?’ And it was."

Hillyard interviewed her from her hospital bed over the phone:

"This is the most horrible day of my life. And

"Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don't believe anything.

Don’t believe anything that the President says and his people because they don't know what they're talking about. And don't take anything--be so careful and call your doctor. This is a heart ache I'll never get over."

Woman in ICU: "Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."
NBC: "What would be your message to the American public?"
Woman: "Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don't believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the President says & his people...call your doctor." https://t.co/C8EiTQQ3r1 pic.twitter.com/UAOXBNsS4t

NBC: Did you see the President's press conference? Where did you hear about--

Patient: Yeah. Yeah, we saw his press conference. It was on a lot, actually.

NBC: And then did you did you seek out Chloroquine?

Patient: I had it in the house because I used to have koi fish. https://t.co/C8EiTQQ3r1 pic.twitter.com/QgmElANCEG

“The toxic ingredient they consumed was not the medication form of chloroquine, used to treat malaria in humans. Instead, it was an ingredient listed on a parasite treatment for fish.”

Some speculated the couple each took over 2.5 grams despite a normal dose for malaria (which it's approved to treat) being 150-600mg for adults:

Haven't looked at chemistry in several decades but it says here the molecular weight of (pure) chloroquine phosphate is 515.9 g/mol. Using this calculator for 4.982 ml (teaspoon), I get 2.5702 grams. Or approximately 2500 mg. Far too much. Why a teaspoon?

Medical doses of hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) for coronavirus are being studied at around 400-600mg every 24 hours.

Doctors say the drug should only be taken in prescribed doses under strict medical supervision as in rare cases it may cause retinal damage and other side effects.
