Indonesia will continue to prescribe two anti-malaria drugs for coronavirus patients but monitor their use closely, a spokesman for Indonesia COVID-19 taskforce said on Thursday, after some European nations banned the drug over safety concerns.

In an advisory sent by the WHO to Indonesia’s health ministry and pulmonologists’ association, which was reviewed by Reuters, the global health body said use of the drugs should be suspended “for treating any COVID-19 patients outside the trial”. Indonesia, he said, would wait for further advice from the WHO in regard to the safety of the drugs, expected in mid-June.

Wait, is Indonesia in Europe? This tweet makes about as much sense as: South Carolina continues to use Google, even as Google is banned in China

If it works...

Not everything is about Europe.

It is still an approved anti-malarial and anti-lupus drug. So it hasn't been 'banned.' Please clear up your reporting.

World cleansing! Yeah!

Just as Covid-19 cases keep rising in 18 states, holiday revelers crammed together without masks▪︎ The number of new coronavirus cases keeps rising in 18 states — including Georgia, Arkansas, California and Alabama. ▪︎ In 22 states, the numbers appear to be holding steady. ▪︎ Only 10 states are seeing declines in the numbers of new cases. I love how no one is ever happy with reports. Lol always something to cry about with some people. Of course its going up you morons, were testing more than we wver have. The only number you should be concerned with js infected vs. death. As the testing goes up, the positives will increase and the mortality rate will drop. The numbers of cases that don't want to hear your BS is on the rise. States are opening back up and hospitalization will not rise. And that scares the living shit out of you guys. Because then there is no way to keep the scare tactic going.
