US President is one of the least reliable source on the internet to get any help on COVID-19.

Dr. Tony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a beacon of evidence-based policy in the administration’s botched pandemic response, had been asked by a reporter whether hydroxychloroquine could be used against Covid-19 after reports surfaced this week of doctors using it in other countries to treat patients. Fauci was clear: The evidence was thin and anecdotal. (Their extended exchange was bizarre and revealing, as my colleague German Lopez reported.)

Read the hyperlinked article it's very important.
 
Yes please read the article. Read it fully. It nowhere mentioned that these drugs "should not be used" to treat COVID19. Instead it includes many research article links which approves the usage.
Trump exaggerates everything, the medicine has been effective as 26 out of 36 people got cured but still this is very small evidence. Some other medicines are also being tested outside America like chloroquine, Kaletra which led to recovery of some Coronavirus patients in Australia.

Twitter on Saturday removed a video uploaded by actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to 'Janata Curfew' after the microblogging website found factual discrepancies in his post about the cycle of infection of the novel coronavirus, which has claimed more than 10,000 lives around the world so far.

In the video, Rajinikanth had said the 14-hour window of total social distancing was necessary to curb the spread of virus. The statement violated Twitter’s rules on misinformation. The virus can remain on surfaces for days and infect anyone who came in contact with it.
