Experimental drugs for fighting Coronavirus land in Israel

Some experimental drugs that'll hopefully help wear down the Corona crisis have arrived in Israel:

Israel received essential supplies for fighting coronavirus from three different countries on Saturday, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

Among the deliveries included 2.4 million doses of chloroquine, a drug usually used to treat malaria, which some have found to be helpful for coronavirus patients. The PMO did not say where the pills came from.

The PMO credited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal intervention, contacting the leaders of various countries, with bringing about the supplies’ arrival, together with the Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, who is leading the “acquisitions war room” for the coronavirus fight.

In addition, following Netanyahu’s phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a delivery arrived from India last week including tons of raw material that can be used to manufacture choroquine.

Netanyahu thanked Modi for making an exception in his country’s no-export rule.

Well I sure hope these medicines prove effective for vaccinations and such. It's a shame this whole outbreak had to occur in the first place, and we have to hope it can be ended as soon as possible.
