I'm starting to wonder if this isn't by design by Trump. It's like he sees the market is up to start the day and it's as if he doesn't want that.

Apparently one of the scientists behind the study went on Bowtie Carlson last night to advertise it. I'm not a virologist or immunologist but from what I understood about the study, it showed great potential in the drug combination treating Coronavirus symptoms. Apparently it had a 100% success rate for all who stuck with the study (one of my main reasons for skepticism was a few participants dropping out before the study was completed) and it convinced the French Minister of Health to expedite a more comprehensive study to start soon (the first study had only 36 participants to the end). However, I'm guessing the markets were hoping that the drug was actually fully vetted and ready to go.
