Treatments that appear to work

Studies have shown that Hydroxychloroquine  is not effective in treating advanced illness.   However it does appear to be very effective early in the disease to slow viral reproduction.   It seems to be particularly effective as a Post exposure prophylactic.  There was a signficant exposure to the virus in a Korean long term care facuclity,   everybody was given   hydroxychloroquine  and nobody got sick.  Can post-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19 be considered as an outbreak response strategy in long-term care hospitals?

For advanced cases the solution seems to be, permssive hypooxia,  anti-inflamatory steroids, anti-coagulants, vitamin C and vitamin D, and avoiding intubation by all means necessary

MATH+ Early Intervention Treatment Protocol Is Saving Lives

It appears that there is two phases to this illness.   The high viral load last one to two weeks.   Any antiviral treatment needs to be applied then.   The earlier the better.    Then the second phase of the illness appears to be an immune over reaction, yea our old friend the cytokine storm.   Anti-coagulants and anti-inflammatory drugs appear very effective at this time.

And like I said you must do everything in your power to avoid intubation.    It s a death sentence with this illness.   Also prone body positioning seems to help a lot.

Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquin have nasty side effects.  Many drugs do, but they are still used because the conditions they treat are worse.

Side effects can often be managed - BY A DOCTOR, IN A CLINICAL SETTING!  Drinking fish-tank cleaner amounts to a Darwin award.

There is some evidence that chloroquine works, but not enough to say with certanty that it does.  Only a clinical trial will prove or disprove this.  Clinical trials are ongoing, but they take time.

Meanwhile, try not to catch it.  Get medical advice if you do and ASK THE DOC. for chloroquine.  Let the Doc decide.
