Social media users have been sharing posts which claim that “hydroxychloroquine is now ok” yet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the American Medical Association (AMA) told Reuters that their guidance advising against treating COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine or urging caution reflects their current positions, as of this article’s publication.
Examples of the posts can be seen here , here and here .
Hydroxychloroquine is a medicine that is FDA-approved to treat arthritis and to treat or prevent malaria (here). Former U.S. President Trump said last March that hydroxychloroquine could be a game-changer in the coronavirus pandemic. He also said he was taking it himself, even after the FDA advised that its efficacy and safety were unproven (here).
Thanks, Jordana Harper

I am writing to express my gratitude to Superintendent Jordana Harper for her years of service to Greenfield Public Schools and our community.
I was proud to be a member of the Superintendent Search Committee that recommended Superintendent Harper for the position, and I was glad to collaborate with her during my time on the Town Council. I admire her professionalism, depth of knowledge, empathy, integrity, and her commitment to our schools and our students.
Jordana, I wish you the very best in your future position. The community that has the opportunity to work with you next is very lucky, indeed.
