Very dangerous side effects. The true answer Discovering the Universal Antimicrobial Silver is one of the most useful, versatile, safe, and effective antibiotic substances known to medical science. When administered in the colloidal form (at around 10 ppm ed.), it is for all practical purposes, non-toxic*. Silver has been proven to be useful against hundreds of infectious conditions. Although the exact mechanism for the proven antimicrobial effects of silver is unknown, the most accepted theory is that silver disables the specific enzyme that many forms of bacteria, viruses, and fungi utilize for their metabolism

Chloroquine coming soon in limited use

By Scott Johnson, Powerline Blog, March 19, 2020

President Trump presided at today’s White House task force briefing to announce regulatory relief for the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat the Wuhan virus. This was the briefing’s headline news, though many of the questions went off in other directions.

b>President Trump expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities presented by these drugs specifically, an enthusiasm which he emphasized several times. Indeed, he circled back to express it toward the conclusion of the briefing. Despite the restraint with which he expressed himself, I believe he is as excited about the prospects for relief as we are. We are talking about drugs already approved for other uses, drugs whose risks and side effects are therefore well known.

The president had FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn in attendance with him to discuss the therapies whose use the FDA is expediting. As I understood Hahn’s remarks, the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine is to be limited at present to compassionate use situations while clinical data are compiled. He stated that these already approved anti-malarial and anti-arthritis drugs would be “made available almost immediately by prescription.” He also discussed the expedited use of other therapeutics that are “close to approval.” Given the urgency of the situation, the vagueness and limitations of the anticipated use of these drugs (as I heard Hahn’s remarks) was frustrating.

From the WattsUp article (at the bottom):

A commonly available over-the-counter quinine source exists in Margosa Tree Bark and Cinchona succirubra, Peruvian Bark

Tablets of bark extract are widely available in tablet form, from many sources, including Amazon.com here. "Currently sold out" -- fast runs on these things. Maybe check your local natural foods & supplements store.
