"A drug used to treat malaria is showing promise against coronavirus, according to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), which says scientists are working diligently to test the drug as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
A recent study abstract published in PubMed Journal stated the efficacy of chloroquine phosphate as a potential treatment for the current spread of COVID-19. The study outlined that in clinical trials in China, chloroquine, an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of malaria, was effective and safe in dealing with COVID-19 associated pneumonia in a lab dish. This triggered a spread of anticipation throughout the world about a possible treatment for the pandemic virus.
Judith James, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of Clinical Affairs at OMRF, says that she has found chloroquine phosphate highly effective in treating patients with lupus, an autoimmune disease, and explains how the drug may work in people with COVID-19. “When malaria gets into a cell, if you change the pH with a drug like chloroquine phosphate, the malaria can’t live,” she says, according to Oklahoma TV station KFOR. “The same goes for a virus like COVID-19. If you change the pH, the virus cannot assemble, and if can’t assemble, it can’t affect you.”
James, an immunologist and rheumatologist, explains that using preexisting drugs is the best way to fast track a treatment for the virus. “That would be really exciting, because it’s a drug that already has FDA approval, and it is readily available,” she says. “If it works, it might treat COVID-19 almost instantly.
However, many experts are quick to remind that human trials are needed before chloroquine phosphate can be touted as am [sic] answer."

Wise hospital pharmacies in the state ordered/ordered extra of these drugs last week
Lot's of human trials happened in Italy over the last month.
There will be a quarantine. But you are nuts. Its because of an very contagious virus.... Wow.
"democrat plot against Trump!!!!"
Yea, Italy shut their country down for Democrats......lol.
Yes sir guaranteed since birth!!!
If it works, I wonder if our pharmaceutical supplier (China) will ship us any after they take care of all their own people?
A solid five hours and 45 minutes, over the last two days, on hold with NICS, and not one damn gun out the door. First thing tomorrow, I'll be back on hold for 2-3 hours. I can hardly wait....
