Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treating Covid-19
For a slightly more balanced perspective, try this paper: <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220301145" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016635422...</a>:<p>Highlights from that paper (all of which look quite reasonable to me, as a non-expert):<p>• In vitro data suggest that chloroquine inhibits SARS Cov-2 replication.<p>• In past research, chloroquine has shown in vitro activity against many different viruses, but no benefit in animal models.<p>• Chloroquine has been proposed several times for the treatment of acute viral diseases in humans without success.<p>• The outcomes of some current clinical trials of chloroquine in China have been announced, without access to the data.<p>• Peer review of the results and an independent assessment of the potential benefit for patients are essential.
