Chloroquine has emerged as possibly the best preventative treatment for COVID 19. Yet many in authority have seemingly been resistant to trialling it . In Part 1 of this two part series we look at the evidence suggesting trials would be a good idea and ask why the response has been so slow.
As the UK and other countries around the world enter “lockdown” in response to the coronavirus pandemic we ask if any of these draconian measures are remotely justified. Especially seeing as the evidence proving this is even a pandemic to be worried about is conspicuously lacking.
