Testing is important but it's reactive so it's not a key tool for getting ahead of the virus. It tells you whether you're using the right proactive tools to combat the virus or not.
Hand sanitizers everywhere in public are an important proactive component of Taiwan's battle with coronavirus because you don't need to wait until you get home to disinfect your hands.
I am on an 18 person text list from work.
We tell jokes, talk about stupid stuff like work or the lack of it
All but one or two of us have not received a penny.
So America’s unemployment situation is broken and sucks.
Anyhow after this situation is over... for me life will never be the same.
I will always have social distancing in my mind.
I never liked touching handrails especially at the hospital. I will no longer shake hands or do the handshake & hug thing to my union brothers and sisters.
I will always try to stay apart from people.
Kinda funny though,
Most people used to laugh at Howie Mandel.
Truly a man before his time.
That’s all I got.

that,
I too, do not want to shake hands, hug, kiss or touch anyone when greeting them.
To me, I feel there is no need.
Say hello, nod, smile, but you don't have to touch me, and I do not, want to touch you.
I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way.
I see no reason to do so, and after this, more so.
The virus is impacting more northern climates in particular. Viruses don't like warm weather, such as they get in India except the far north and mountains, which is why they expect it to decline and then maybe have a second surge in the fall in the US. But it works to India's favor.
Regardless, it has the potential to explode there for the reasons you gave. India is on a lockdown currently - all 1.3 billion people.
Could it be that a widespread use of anti-malarial drugs in India helps against the COVID-19?
Could it be that a widespread use of anti-malarial drugs in India helps against the COVID-19?
Not likely. People who actually live in malarial countries like India generally aren’t taking antimalarial drugs unless they actually come down with the disease and need to be treated (unlike travelers from non-malarial regions, who take antimalarial drugs prophylactically). And chloroquine isn’t much used any more for either malaria treatment or prophylaxis, as the majority of malaria strains are now resistant to it.
