I'll bet that yellow map would look almost IDENTICAL if you mapped the most common hotspots for CHINESE TRAVELERS. This is bullshit pseudostatistics. Show me how this controls for confounding factors and then we'll talk. Until then this is some lazy false-equivalence.

Studies are showing effectiveness in the malaria drug in treating the virus. Thats becoming much more researched and established. That’s the main point. The maps are an interesting visual to go along with it. Also, the virus has been all over the world basically at this point. It doesn’t take multiple travelers to cause a quick spread so it’s possible their is something to it and it’s worth monitoring. India has had this virus for plenty of time now to have a huge case count but it isn’t happening and understanding why matters, with their use of the drug being a possible contributor.
