They Named Boris Johnsons New born Son after the Drug that saved him - Yep, They named him Chloroquine!
My bad.

"British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fianceé, Carrie Symonds, said Saturday that they named their newborn son after the doctors who oversaw Johnson's treatment while he was in intensive care battling COVID-19."

They named him after the doctor that saved him!

Re: They Named Boris Johnsons New born Son after the Drug that saved him - Yep, They named him Chloroquine!
Johnson may have received any one of these drugs:

Here are some details about these experimental drugs:

Hydroxychloroquine

This drug is used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It is a less powerful medication and by some experts' accounts, less toxic, version of chloroquine phosphate. While NHS is using this drug for experimental purpose, French health officials are now planning on a larger trial of the drug. The side effects include skin rashes, nausea, diarrhoea and headaches.

Lopinavir/ritonavir

This is an anti-HIV medicine given to people affected by the virus to prevent it from developing into AIDS. It should be mentioned that Illinois-based drug manufacturer AbbVie donated free supplies of this medicine to authorities in China, US and Europe for tests. Even though the Chinese media reported that Lopinavir was successfully used to cure COVID-19 patients, the reports have not been scientifically proven.

The drug is not approved by the authorities in the UK to use it as a prescribed drug for Coronavirus but it will be used in the recovery trial. However, the side effects of this drug include diarrhoea, headaches, upset stomachs, drowsiness, dizziness, a bad taste in the mouth and trouble sleeping.

Interferon beta-1b/SNG001

The drug which is still in development and goes by the name of SNG001, actually a formulation of IFN-beta developed by Synairgen to prevent severe lower respiratory tract illness caused by cold and flu infections. The drug called Extavia works by slowing down the damage to the nervous system and by reducing the number of relapses.

Southampton researchers are conducting a Phase II SNG001 trial on COVID-19 patients to see whether the medication works. But doctors are currently clueless about the side effects, which will be reported with the findings of the clinical trial. However, other forms of interferon beta can cause headaches, vaginal bleeding and diminish libido.

Dexamethasone

The brand version of the dug is Ozurdex and Baycadron which is used to treat allergies and asthma, as well as some types of cancer. It should be noted that no studies have yet to prove dexamethasone can treat Novel Coronavirus, but it has been tested on MERS and SARS patients. The medication is known to cause an increase in appetite and heartburn, as well as muscle weakness and insomnia.

Remdesivir

Developed around 10 years ago to treat Ebola patients. Even though lab tests have shown promise against Coronaviruses, human trials are still in their early days. The Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT-EU/UK) unit will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of remdesivir in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. Scientists said this is proven to be safe in humans.

Ceftriaxone

This medication can treat many kinds of bacterial infections, including severe or life-threatening forms such as meningitis. But it may cause mild diarrhoea, warmth or a hard lump where the injection was given, vaginal itching or discharge, rash, or poor liver function.

However, apart from all these drugs, there are a few names which are currently in use as experimental drugs to treat COVID-19- Moxifloxacin, Piperacillin-tazobactam, Macrolide, Oseltamivir, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Ceftaroline.

Mom took moxifloxacin and had a bad reaction to it.

Amoxicillin might work better*

The couple named their son, born Wednesday, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas — a nod to Nick Price and Nick Hart, the two intensive care doctors who treated Johnson.

Its all pantomime. The child was born while Boris was recovering at Chequers with supposed *virus*. That baby being shown in the latest photos is not a new born. Stop buying into the news narrative for crying out loud. Since when did an active Prime Minister go Awol due to a runny nose?
