Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

France : Hydroxychloroquine & Plaquenil authorized against COVID 19

Post by Ghostwriter »

....On prescription, but not only for the most severe cases, as authorized before. Now generalizing to all infected.

Well make sure you get the formulation for malaria and not fish tank cleaner like the old couple in the states who dies taking it!

There's no conclusive evidence that it does anything

By Guglielmo Gianott, executive director of surgery at the Cremona hospital (front line)

"The only other drugs we were using in the ward were anti-malaria treatments together with HIV drugs, but there weren't any indications that they were working.
On the contrary, patients adopting those treatments were seeing significant side effects. We worried they were doing more harm than good."

To the best of my knowledge I've never in my life had flu. Not it the way that people say you wouldn't get out of bed and stand up for £20 if you did have real flu.
30 years ago in my early 20s on my very first trip backpacking around Thailand I took that foul tasting chloroquine anti malarial drug for months.

Connection or coincidence??

Are you sure you didn't take Lariam?

I've also never had anything like what people describe as the flu, but have never taken such a drug. Plenty of colds and strep throat, but never flu. I think many people just never get it.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Absolutely positive.
I'll never forget how much I hated taking those tablets. They would disintegrate in your mouth before you got chance to swallow them and tasted terrible.
