SBR,
Good info!
The following info is a bit sketchy because it is still early - but countries that have experienced Malaria outbreaks in the past are currently pretty much negative for the COVID-19
If this holds then this builds a strong case for population immunity based upon the previous use of Chloroquine phosphate and Hydroxychloroquine. Both Malaria drugs with long approvals and known side effects.
That is why POTUS is now mentioning this drug openly now and Bayer just shipped a large quantity of it to the US a couple of days ago, and so far there is now considerable evidence from several countries (China, S. Korea, France,) that anti-malarial drugs, especially chloroquine, is effective at greatly reducing COVID-19 symptoms, and possibly preventing infection in the first place.

The other drug AbbVie’s HIV combo Kaletra (Aluvia) just failed in its 199 patient trial in China. So that one is done.
