There were people taking hydroxychloroquine as an antimalarial on the cruise ships which were quarantined.
None of them contracted the escaped Chinese Communist bioweapon
Interesting. So we do have an idea that the drug may prevent people from getting it and may even help from progression of the illness. The question is “Does it save lives?” We do have the answer and it can be obtained in milliseconds.
That is fascinating news Mr Edd.
There have been many theorizing that the controlled conditions of cruise ship isolation were a better predictor of spread than the data from spread in land populations. I resisted thinking that there may be other variables. This is a whopper of a variable.
Then the deal is, find ships that still are in operation and sailing to South America or another tropical area, pick one and make a screen shot. Take it to the doctor and tell him you need malaria meds before this cruise you’ll be taking (but really won’t be). Doctors do this all the time for travelers.
There’s a government website that tells what drugs are suggested or required when visiting these ports.
