What are you saying, that thalassaemia is protective against COVID?
Thalassaemia protects against malaria because blood cells (the home of the parasite during a phase of its lifecycle) are destroyed up to 3-4x faster than in non-thalassaemia traits (where they last on average for 120 days).
Chloroquine seems to work by interfering with cellular binding and entry of SARS-CoV-2 on the ACE2 receptor (amongst other mechanisms)
This is why only people with training or understanding should speak about medical matters, there is enough rubbish out there (particularly at the moment) without you adding to the noise
