Respectfully.
I don’t know nor have I ever met anyone who has died from cancer. Or been in a serious vehicle accident. Or won Lotto first division - seriously.
There’s also a whole lot of countries out there that I’ve never been to. I’ve never been into space either, for all I know all this solar system stuff is just bs.
I’d like to say they’re all part of some kind of plot by the UN, but I’ve never seen that either, so....
The truth is out there, apparently.

Some hereabout don't much like Rachel Maddow, smart women make some blokes feel insecure. Smart she is though, a former Rhodes Scholar with a doctorate in political science from Cambridge.
This is worth a look:

Trump's reference to Chloroquine is absurd. Dr Fauci will be disappearing from view if he corrects Trump like that, and he's one of the few on Team Trump with any clues. The US has more of a history with Malaria than we do but even so, it's hard to imagine they are holding huge stocks.
In the late 60s a group of people arrived in NZ and developed Malaria, there was insufficient Chloroquine to treat them all. There may be stocks in NZ to treat a few cases but probably not a large number.

Similar or possibly the same, the references are a bit confusing hydroxychloroquine can apparently be used to treat chloroquine resistant malaria? Chloroquine is used to treat arthritis and lupus so we need a chemist. There is also mention of it being trialled for Corona virus but as the doctor said it would be dangerous to say it’s available as a treatment.
Mention is made of it being taken by mouth but how the doses compare is a mystery.

There are a number of different quinine salts that can be used to treat malaria such as quinine dihydrochloride or quinine bisuplhate. Quinine is used as an an anti-malarial and it works by interfering with haeme biosynthesis in our red blood cells, which the malarial parasite uses as part of its infection cycle.
Chloroquine (and hydrochloroquine suphate is a salt of this) is a similar but molecularly distinct drug that were developed to help reduce the side-effects of quinine-based drugs. They essentially do the same thing. One of the major side-effects of both drugs is anaemia (cause by loss of haeme). Chloroquine is also somewhat immunosuppressive which is why it can be prescribed for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
I would treat any anti-Covid19 claims with caution as the current studies (and the previous SARS ones) have simply shown that it kills virus sitting in a dish, which is worlds away from being effective in people. To put this in context, put ethanol on a virus and it will kill it but prescribing single malt is unlikely to prevent infection.
Hopefully clinical trials are in progress as the immunosuppressive effects of Chloroquine may be useful in preventing sepsis during pneumonia.

There are a fair number of “cures” for Covid-19 being mentioned in social media and by various public figures. This is normal human behaviour: people will try to do whatever they can to stay well and be able to care for their families and friends. However, there is very little data behind these claims.The final drug in this repurposed grouping is in the “other” category. It is called chloroquine. Chloroquine is an antimalarial drug, long in use, especially in travel medicine. It turns out that it inhibits SARS2-CoV replication in the test tube and it has garnered wide attention because of it. Physicians are keen to learn if this observation could be translated into success in living humans. A cautionary note is that chloroquine has been looked at before with other viruses and has not been found to be effective.Protease inhibitors are a major drug class in use against HIV. For HIV they work by blocking an enzyme that processes proteins that the virus needs for growth. During the Sars epidemic it was discovered that Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir), a common anti-HIV drug, seemed to help coronavirus-infected patients. Early data on its use for coronavirus infection suggests weak to no activity, but it was an early study with small patient numbers.

Funny how no one is mentioning this virus was developed in Canada as a bio weapon. This is not a conspiracy theory.
Prediction?
I picked up my wife at Auckland Airport at 0500 this morning. They were restricting building entry to passengers only. Had to meet my wife in the main car park but they were handing out free tickets so all good. She travelled all the way from London in one of those new Qatar Q Suites. Reckoned that they were superb. Apart from the odd feed and movie watching, just shut the door and slept. Apparently, she got the last but one flight out before Qatar shut down the service.
