A recent Wikipedia entry with research references . The drugs used are already available and plentiful. Maybe the media will pick up on it?


SARS-CoV-2Edit
In late January 2020 during the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak, Chinese medical researchers stated that exploratory researchinto chloroquine and two other medications, remdesivir and lopinavir/ritonavir, seemed to have "fairly good inhibitory effects" on the 2019 novel coronavirus. Requests to start clinical testing were submitted.[38][39][40]

On 19 February 2020, preliminary results found that chloroquine may be effective and safe in treating COVID-19 associated pneumonia.[12][41] There is evidence to indicate the efficacy of chloroquine phosphate against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, on Vero cells.[42]

Interesting that the Governments haven't picked up on it.

I would not be surprised if Peter Dutton knows about it!

Well if it is common knowledge, a lot of money is going down the toilet around the World, for no reason.

Good pick up Tumbarumba
The media might have at last found out about your article.
https://au.news.yahoo.com/researchers-claim-theyve-found-cure-coronavirus-095523019.html:
From the article:
One pill is an old HIV drug, and the other is chloroquine, which has been used to treat malaria.

Both showed promising outcomes when used in COVID-19 patients, according to Professor David Paterson, director of University of Queensland’s Centre for Clinical Research.

I think this is a good time to get yourself set up, to be able to work on something, while you are stuck at home.
I have just bought 1000W electric wheel, to convert one my mountain bikes over to an electric off road bike, anyway that is my plan.

Sounds like a good idea.
Yeah I'm getting bored. There's only so much coughing into envelopes, addressed to people you don't like that you can do in a day....

Great data at that link. It would be great if it also showed data for those who have recovered too.

I'm isolating with a foreign friend for two weeks from tommorrow... Coming in on What will be one of the last flights out of 'The Near North'...
Someone's got to throw themselves on the hand genade...
Might see you blokes in a fortnight..

Terrible amount of misinformation out there;
Just yesterday from an informed respected source; someone who should have known better. And what do I hear.
'The virus can persist for much longer periods in fecal matter'...
Dutton's quick recovery puts lie to that drivel.

Has anyone tested positive yet?

News is reporting that Prince Charles has gotten infected.

no wonder there was a big fuss about Bessie the other day

My 14 days is up tomorrow. No idea what I had, doubt it was coronavirus. All the symptoms but only mild.
Back to exercise as of Monday just gone. Will stay away from everyone for a few more days.

In February 2020, during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, which began in China, Ferguson and his team used statistical models to estimate that cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are significantly under-detected in China.[5][6]

Ferguson reported on 18 March 2020 that he had developed the symptoms of pandemic Covid-19, and self-isolated.[7] If indeed infected, he was probably infectious when he attended a Downing Street press conference two days before, and had been advising Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Anti parasitic drug can kill Coronavirus in 48 hours, in vitro.

Findings of the study were published overnight in the journal, Antiviral Research, under the title The FDA-approved Drug Ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

Jeez, I've got a drawer full of that stuff.

If you need it for work you had better stock up, it will be hard to get if proven effective
