On March 23, 2020 Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak signed a State of Emergency Declaration barring Nevada Doctors outside hospitals from prescribing the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for use against the Corona Virus and limiting how many a pills a patient can receive for “approved” uses, unrelated to the COVID19.

According to sources at the drug maker, Concordia Pharmaceuticals Inc, Nevada prisons ordered a large number of their anti-malaria Hydroxychloroquine drug under the name, Plaquenli. Nevada prisons has literally ZERO cases of prisoners infected with the COVID 19 virus to date. The Nevada Board of Pharmacies and the Governor claimed the rule barring doctors from prescribing the drug outside of hospitals was to stop hoarding. After Sisolak’s ban went into effect, the State Prison hoarded the drug in a mass just in case they had break out.

Gov. Sisolak refused to reverse his order even after the FDA issued an emergency order earlier this week approving the drug for use against COVID 19.

Do you have any other source for that report? Google can't find one. I don't believe drug companies are in the habit of announcing to whom they are selling their medications. Even if it were true, so what?

I would hope that a reputable news organization would not be spelling Plaquenil as Plaquenli. Even the spell checker on this site warned me when I just typed it wrongly.

Have you read the FDA's emergency order? What it said was very specific. And it is exactly in agreement with this Governor's directive. But you didn't know that I'm sure.

For those who don't click on links: The FDA authorized release from the Federal Stockpile of Hydroxychloroquine [Plaquenil] only for treatment of hospitalized patients of 110 pounds or more.

"This EUA is for the unapproved use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate supplied from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to treat adults and adolescents who weigh 50 kg or more and are hospitalized with COVID-19 for whom a clinical trial is not available, or participation is not feasible. "

Nothing at all there about approving the drug for Covid. It specifically says UNAPPROVED. And it says in hospital only. Gosh, exactly what the Governor ordered.
