In the rush to find a treatment for the coronavirus, shortages of chloroquine mean people with various health conditions are missing out on medicine they need.
These studies will take time, however. In France, a debate has emerged in the scientific community over whether to wait for more evidence or start treating coronavirus patients with chloroquine as quickly as possible.
Christian Perronne, head of the infectious diseases department at Raymond-Poincaré Hospital near Paris, told“There are millions of people who have taken it a few times over the years for chronic diseases. I don’t see the hesitation for a second,” Perronne said. “I admit that for the moment, the scientific demonstration is not perfect, but that’s the way it is. We’re at war. We have to go to war.
Christian Estrosi, the mayor of the French city of Nice, said on television Monday that he was on his sixth day of treatment and has “the sense I’ve been cured.”that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine do have a big advantage in that they are known drugs that have already been approved to treat other diseases.
