Having had a look, it does seem to me that the malarial areas of the world are much less affected than malaria-free Europe and America, not sure what to read into that, how accurate their figures are, when the first cases were, how slowly we expect coronaviruses to spread in hot places, etc
A shame, since either not-spreading-there or going-like-wildfire would have given a pretty clear answer to the chloroquine question.
At the moment I’m guessing it’s weak evidence in favour of effectiveness.
