Re: <nettime> And there must be no bowing down - Today's Eleven

Cecile -- plz avoid editorializing on some of these links -- the
following "now used against covid19" really is a huge mis-statement.
There is a tiny bit of anecdotal information that chloroquine
mitigates the virus' symptoms/effects... it is *not* being 'used
against'. There has been no clinical testing on chloroquine/Covid19
that would meet minimum requirements from any health/medical agency
for safe use. *There is no 'cure' or vaccine and will not be for
many months!* Statements that support a misplaced belief that there
is a 'cure' available (such as Trump has repeatedly made) are
irresponsible.
