Has anyone else heard about a study that used hydroxichloroquine to treat COVID19? I heard a researcher cite a small study, 40 people with COVID19 divided into three groups. One group got chloroquine, one group got hyroxicholorquine and on group got hydroxichloroquine with a "Z" pack. The chloroquine group showed no COVID19 in about 50% of the patients. The hydroxichlorquine group showed about 75% with no COVID19. The combination group showed 100% no COVID19. All these results were achieved in six days.
For those that aren't familiar with choroquine, it was developed during WW2 to treat malaria in our troops. Exactly how it works with COVID19 is unknown at this point. As with any drug, there are side effects which may not be desirable with everyone.
The study is currently being peer reviewed and the White House has gotten the results of the study as well. It's very early in the testing phase so things can, and probably will, change, but IF it is, indeed, effective it will provide a low cost, easily available, treatment. This researcher was on the "Ingram Angle" the other night, but I didn't see it.
In the mean time there is also a distributed computing project called Folding at Home that studies how proteins change/combine (being very general with that description). They have found methods of treatment for various cancers and some infectious diseases in their studies and are working hard on the Corona Virus. They mentioned this somewhere and a very large number of people have started "folding at home". So many that the servers are overwhelmed and the system has been brought to its virtual knees. It's nice to see so many people, probably a few hundred thousand, trying to help.
