POTUS caught some grief for mentioning it too early, I think. Taiwan and a couple other countries are using this therapy.

The malaria drug has shown promise in minimizing symptoms and duration. That is not a cure. And it isn’t working on everyone being treated for Covid -19, regardless of age.
There is no data/evidence that taking the malaria drug chronically will minimize possibility of infection. As it is, reports are out that people in Africa took the drug and are being treated for poisoning. Again, misinformation driving people to do stupid things.
And for those taking it for Sjogrens, well, that population is immunosuppressed by the disease, making them more at risk.

We even have laundry sanitizer, for crying out loud! We have anti-bacterial everything, to wipe down everything we touch. We can legitimately disinfect every item in our house, in our vehicles, at our work... every single thing.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 10:54 pm
" But we are fighting a virus that can easily be killed off. We have tools to clean our environments thoroughly."
What does that look like?
