Hydroxychloroquine is said to be effective in combating those infected with the Wuhan coronavirus. It’s an anti-malarial drug. If successful, and it looks like it is—then this will be a good stopgap until we get a vaccine made. It will also greatly accelerate the timeframe in which all of us can return to our daily routines.

Begin developed for fighting malaria, chloroquine might have a manufacturing cost of 50 cents per dose, or less. According to my doctor, most expensive drugs cost that, or less, to manufacture. Expect it to cost Americans one arm and two legs.
