Thanks, that enabled me to find the 1/28 donation news:

It mentions "antibiotics and analgesics" but not quinine, but I'll accept you've seen a more detailed report.

I was unable to find a report saying that Chloroquine lines have started back up.

By HCQ do you mean Quinine Hydrochloride as is found in Tonic Water? Do you have any links to studies showing it has "similar effectiveness" as Chloroquine in treatment? I'm taking Quinine Hydrochloride at present since it's harmless and available, but have not seen any studies about it specifically regarding the new virus.




HCQ is hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial that is still widely available because it is used for autoimmune diseases. It is a prescription only drug. The antiviral property is described in this Lancet article: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...


Thanks!
