Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread - Virology Journal
Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available. Results We report, however, that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells...
t.co
From 2005.
How is Sweden doing?
They never shut down anything.
Who will have egg on their face when this whole thing is over next year?

Who can tell?
Sweden followed a middle course, shutting down some things and not others. In comparison to their direct neighbors, all of whom had stricter controls, they haven't done all that well.

As I am not a doctor, I don't know. But I do know that I don't take medical advice from some rando video sourced by Twitter bots.

Yes. That's for SARS. It's a different virus than Covid-19. They are both in the same family but you don't treat them the same way. Here is the efficacy of HCQ on Covid-19:
Hydroxychloroquine use against SARS-CoV-2 infection in non-human primates - Nature
Hydroxychloroquine did not confer protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection or reduce the viral load after infection in macaques; these findings do not support the use of hydroxychloroquine as an antiviral drug treatment of COVID-19 in humans.

tldr: "Our findings do not support the use of HCQ, either alone or in combination with AZTH, as an antiviral treatment for COVID-19 in humans."
Wrong question. Did anyone die because a ventilator became necessary? If Trump had taken this virus seriously from the very beginning thousands would never have gotten sick in the first place.
“At 43 deaths per 100,000, Sweden’s mortality rate is among the highest globally and far exceeds that of neighboring Denmark and Norway, which imposed much tougher lockdowns at the onset of the pandemic.
But with many other European Union countries now rolling back their lockdowns after appearing to bring Covid-19 under control, there are signs that Sweden may be left behind. That includes the freedom of movement of its citizens, as some EU countries restrict access to people coming from what are deemed high-risk Covid zones.
What’s more, there’s so far limited evidence that Sweden’s decision to leave much of its society open will support the economy. Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson recently warned that Sweden is facing its worst economic crisis since World War II, with GDP set to slump 7% in 2020, roughly as much as the rest of the EU.”
Man Behind Sweden’s Controversial Virus Strategy Admits Mistakes
Sweden’s top epidemiologist has admitted his strategy to fight Covid-19 resulted in too many deaths, after persuading his country to avoid a strict lockdown.

Ricky's twitter master tells him every day that Sweden has been a success, so it has been a success.
Rather than flattening the curve, they peaked it.
The virus does what the virus does.
Sweden ripped the band-aid off. Now they're ahead of the game.
True.
You dont actually read anything, you just cut'n paste half baked memes.
When this thing first reared it's ugly head, Trump banned travel to and from China.
He was called over reactionary & racist....
Hind-site is damn near perfect for those without selective memory
Bullshit.

You have yet to say why you're sourcing fake Twitter bots for information.

And yet you didn't answer it? Do you believe the Earth is round or flat? That's all you need to answer: "round" or "flat".
