The last recommendation may have been prudent. People have been self-medicating with aquarium cleaner (and dying) because it has chloroquine in it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/03/24/coronavirus-chloroquine-poisoning-death/

That doesn't prove that Hydroxychloroquine is not effective. Aquarium cleaner is NOT malaria pills.

I never said otherwise.

COVID-19 is NOT, primarily, a respiratory sickness. The breakdown of the lungs are the effects of the attack on red-blood cells. It attacks the blood first.

You got a source for that? I really think you're mistaken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019#Pathophysiology

The lungs are the organs most affected by COVID-19 because the virus accesses host cells via the enzyme ACE2, which is most abundant in the type II alveolar cells of the lungs. The virus uses a special surface glycoprotein called a "spike" (peplomer) to connect to ACE2 and enter the host cell.[66] The density of ACE2 in each tissue correlates with the severity of the disease in that tissue and some have suggested that decreasing ACE2 activity might be protective,[67][68] though another view is that increasing ACE2 using angiotensin II receptor blocker medications could be protective and that these hypotheses need to be tested.[69] As the alveolar disease progresses, respiratory failure might develop and death may follow.

It doesn't seem to attack red blood cells. It targets host cells in the respiratory tract (and also the gastrointestinal tract) and then replicates and replicates, triggering an inflammatory response.

The second time President Donald Trump recommended the malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine as a drug for Covid-19 in America. Although Trump knows the FDA has not yet given approval of the malaria drug it is used on Covid-19. Even the drug has been purchased in large quantities and distributed to military camps and hospitals.

Indeed there have been studies of the use of malaria drugs that are associated with Covid-19. This research was conducted by experts from Brazil (Sandro G. Viveiros-Rosa and Wilson C. Santos, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro) but the use of hydroxychloroquine must be combined with macrolide antibiotic Azithromycin to recover 100% while without a recovery rate of 57 %

In China, hydroxychloroquine is also included in the list of 10 drugs that are allowed to be used in Covid-19. In the list of 10 drugs, there are new discoveries from China with the approval date of March 26.

Carrimycin is a new drug for Covid-19. Carrimycin was discovered in June last year. At that time there was no Covid-19. Carrimycin is found for handling bacteria and infections. Also to combat cancer this year a review was conducted for Covid-19. The process of approval of new drugs is fast because this is further research. Since the Corona pandemic, the Chinese government has been reviewing several consumption medicines to cure corona. And Carrimycin has already begun to be produced in Shanghai.

China is also conducting research for the corona vaccine found by female general Prof. Chen Wei, who has now entered a clinical trial of healthy people in Wuhan.
