Chloroquine is still available (at least it was two months ago) in Namibia and I have 6 courses of it sitting in our office. Unfortunately, it is sitting in our office, and I am not. Trying to source more now but most likely it is all gone.

It is no longer available most anywhere nowadays, ever since the introduction of other Malaria prophylactics.

I am told Indian pharmaceutical companies have begun re-manufacturing.

I remember those days when the tablets were stored in large airtight jars and sold loose over the counter (no prescription required).

If it truly works against CV-19 then Chloroquine will be a Godsend.


It was available in India and dirt cheap - like sub 1c.

Back in the good old days - 2010-2011 - when one could buy anything in India without a script - I bought $10 worth. I also bought all the other malaria medicines. I think I left them behind in zim or
Moz.

Guys from zim where calling asking me to get someone from
India to send them.

Can’t any more - Indian govt has restricted it.

If it works - trillions of pills can be made very fast.

Let’s hope it works.

Do you think it is heat/humidity, genetic, or something else that will keep Africa from being impacted hard.


The average daily temps will be going the wrong way in the Southern Hemisphere pretty soon.

I beg to differ. Africa will get hammered simply because the healthcare system there is pitiful and will be quickly overwhelmed. The disease growth rate is exponential. Two cases today ,4 tomorrow, 16 the next day and so on. Zim has about 50 ICU beds in the entire country with a population north of 14+ million. RSA not much better. Not to mention the fact that at least 25-35% of the population of sub Saharan Africa is immunocompromised with HIV. A recipe for disaster.... Eeker


We’ll see who is right in the end. My point is that Africa likely has been highly exposed some time ago and if it were going to go there...it likely would have already taken off.

Experts are already speculating why it has NOT as all who keep up know China likely exposed them heavily early on.

Theories as to why it hasn’t taken off in Africa:

1) average daily temp
2) wide spread use of anti-malarials
3) possible immunity from prevous exposure to this or a very similar virus from bushmeat.

Vic Falls has had one positive case but it is in an Englishman who caught it in Europe and came to Vic Falls with it.


Go Duke!!

Considering that they are doing very little testing and many of the rural population has no access to the healthcare system, I would suspect it is MUCH worse than the numbers are indicating at the moment.

Now riots are breaking out as the police attempt to enforce the curfew.

Never underestimate the power of mass hysteria.

Same here...I think that there is going to be Millions dead in Africa

Tragic for man but probably good for the wildlife, sad to say
