Chloroquine is a very common malarial drug.
This is good news.
“with the drug chloroquine had seen a rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious,”
Elon Musk was tweeting about this. It is the 1940’s drug used for Malaria. it means it is an already tested drug and it’s cheap. We don’t have to wait for AMA approval. All that we have to “wait” for is confirmation that it really works.
and like one poster said, it’s like chicken soup. It can’t hurt. :)
Hydrochloroqine does better.

But still has side effects if taken for several weeks.
Hydroxychloroquine.
Didier Raoult is a serious, real scientist and clinical researcher.
Merveilleux.
I’m ready to get back to election year saturation politics.
You should see the batch i’m’ cooking up in the basement!!
it protects you from EVERYTHING!!
I’m starting clinical trials on the cat in a week
Chloroquine is probably dangerous for some salamander species, so we probably can’t use it. Darn.
Crossing fingers. Economy would explode if this is true.
How long before the FDA issues a prohibition against the drug being used for treating the Chinese Flu?
Time for gin & tonic?
(Cholorquine is SIMILAR to quinine, the key ingredient in tonic water. Unfortunately, because there are so many adverse health effects to quinine, there’s not much in tonic water any more.)
The giant trillion dollar pharmaceutical and vaccine industry wants to try to stay ahead of the curve and control everything and get you to pay for it
The problem for the giant industry is Theurve really never come up with good ways to control or kill viruses - they’re just too tricky
Now of course silver nano particles or colloidal silver is well known to take out viruses and bacteria and they all know it
But having followed us about 40 years now they will never ever admit it because there’s too much money at stake
Hydroxychloroquine may be even better.
Total dosing 1 to 10 g per patient. 100 to a thousand patients treated per kilogram.
Need to treat at least 10 million patients.
10,000 to 100,000 kg required, ballpark.
Seems odd, though, since malaria isn’t caused by a virus. Why would this drug be effective against viruses? Chlorquine is an amebicide.
BTW, I looked it up and people who have psoriasis should not take chloroquine.
