Well, this would be for people that are identified with it and receive treatment

Well, except of course it has marginal impact of the course of the disease.

More information if you are curious: both are powerful drugs that disrupt common cellular processes,

  • Chloroquine disrupts the decay of hemozoin, a byproduct of diseased hemoglobin metabolism which is normally discharged by healthy cells. By preventing the decay, hemozoin builds up in the cell and causes the cells to die.

  • Azithromycin disrupts the synthesis of specific G-proteins, which are common to numerous bacterial and viral processes.

The danger is that both of these processes occur in healthy cells necessary to humans, including gut bacteria, so high doses have severe side effects
