Should you use Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as palliation for the treatment of COVID19?-Dr. Harold Gunatillake Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are drugs that doctors in Sri Lanka have been prescribing for malaria for over 70 years and was most efficacious and specific for killing malarial parasite. Doctors also prescribed the same drugs nonspecifically for traveler’s diarrhea, amoebiasis, and autoimmune conditions.   Malaria is caused by mosquito bites in countries like Sri Lanka where it was prevalent in the past.

While it’s too early to tell whether the destruction caused by the coronavirus is philosophically what Marx predicted, the after effect of it at least seems to offer opportunities for the world to seize upon and build a new house where there is much less inequality amongst its inhabitants. Socialism or by any other name, a governance system that takes the world towards a social organization where the ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange is more broad based and where there is greater ownership by the community as a whole, might be on the cards. Pandemics are nothing new and history records several that have killed many people, devastated ...
