Slowing down the covid-19 spread may be atributed to so many factors, that even guessing is futile.
Take Italy and Spain for insntance - on lockdown since March-9. It took 1 month to slow down a little. I could assume lockdown had little to no effect, since Italy is by far the worse we have seen.

It is the most common treatment for Malaria. Some take it as a protection against a severe Malaria infection.
Very common in Africa and South America, and until March/2020 could be had WITHOUT prescription here in Brasil.
It was added to kitchen salt for a while in the Amazon region - like iodine.
Its anti-viral properties are known since H1N1/SARs previous surge, it is not a new thing but no Pharma Lab would sponsor a research with no money to be made
When prescribed by a doctor, according to patient history and status, side-effects are minimized.

Attacking the symptom before making it a lot better is not the the way to go.
There are better aproaches: Mack jet eletric truck
There is a lot of room for deployment of simple tech like aerodynamic skirts and foils that can signigicantly improve fuel efficiency in semi-trailers on road use.
It must be economically attractive, or else.

There is a LARGE list of countries that would receive telegrams. It may be posted the old fashined way, at the post office, or by modern tools like internet or phone.
Brazilian state controlled ECT (T stands for Telegraphs) sends and receives telegrams nationally and internationally (to and from India?).
Some places in Brazil do not have electricity, and telegram is also considered a legal correspondence. Probably the only possible one.
In rural areas you myst stop by the post office once every few days to collect your mail, and telegrams.

20 billion does not come close to solving anything, our problem is much larger.
