The point is that according to what the official Chinese medical line is, it works in vivo. This is apparently confirmed by Korean experience. I understand the skepticism, but you go to war with the data you have, and the data we have indicates Chloroquine works.

The “data” is anecdotal, not even close to the standards of an effectiveness trial.

That said, it’s an approved drug, so it will be applied and we’ll see how it goes. But don’t spread rumors about its effectiveness, because the truth is, we don’t know.
