I also found this, this is a very old drug that all side affects are known, and also its cheep. Why is there so much resistance to using it? it cant do any harm and seems to help, but then it is cheep. Think of all the money been made supplying equipment and making a vaccine.

Quote:The Hvidovre Hospital in Denmark also intends to test treating covid-19 with the malaria drug chloroquine.link
Previously, Norwegian hospitals, for example, have expressed a desire to treat patients infected with the new coronavirus with malaria medication.
The message from the hospital on the outskirts of Copenhagen comes despite the fact that the Danish Medicines Agency, the Danish counterpart to the Swedish Medicines Agency, has distanced itself from the treatment. The authority believes that there is still no scientific evidence that chloroquine would have an effect on the new corona virus.
However, the hospital's physician Stig Eärt believes there are reasons to test the drug.
- Earlier findings indicate that it has had an effect on the corona virus in the way it shortened the course of the disease and made it less serious, he says to Danish TV2, citing French studies.
The ambition of the hospital is to also provide chloroquine to corona-infected patients' close relatives, to see if the drug can have preventative effects that can prevent the spread of infection.
