| Whoa! Put the flag down! If you look at my history in my profile you'll see that I _anticipated_ your questions about the chloroquine phosphate studies but now been provided enough information so that I do not doubt that chloroqine phosphate is a very good treatment (in conjunction with zinc). Some links for Chloroquine phosphate: "Breakthrough: Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of COVID-19 associated pneumonia in clinical studies": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32074550 https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-02-13/fighting-co... L.A.Times article with links (feel free to chase the links yourself) that gives more detail about the above paper cited: "A more unorthodox remedy being tested against the coronavirus in China is chloroquine. The drug is intended to treat malaria, a condition caused by a parasite transmitted through a mosquito bite. A limited number of studies suggest the drug can work against SARS. In laboratory tests, it kept COVID-19 from spreading by blocking its method of infecting cells, according to a report last week in the journal Cell Research." The Chinese source re chloroquine, was posted on ycombinator by sp332 3 hours ago (I quote him below): https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bst/14/1/14_2020.01047/... "This summarizes the results of a bunch of trials that were run in parallel in China." You can do your own search for information on the effects of zinc on viruses and in particular corona viruses - it's old story (dating back to circa 1970s at least), the results have created a entire industry of zinc-related products (zicam et al). |
