A man has died and his wife is under critical care after they ingested a chemical found commonly found in fish tank cleaner thinking it was the miracle coronavirus cure President Donald Trump touted at a press conference last week. The couple, both in their 60s, were rushed to the hospital about 30 minutes after ingesting chloroquine phosphate, according to the statement. The statement did not say whether the couple who ingested chloroquine phosphate had been diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to doing so. Dr Anthony Fauci, the White House coronavirus expert, quickly followed Trump's comments by saying more work was needed before it could be heralded as a solution. New York state officials are expected to begin trials with the medication on Tuesday, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
