RE: If this works better than hydroxychloroquine, great use it.
Of course. But remember, it will be orders of a magnitude MORE EXPENSIVE than HCQ.
It would be best to compare their efficacy side by side.
The results we have been seeing with hydroxychloroquine are mixed at best. I suspect the answer when we find it will involve a cocktail of drugs not a single agent. My daughter is in an institution where they are studying multiple agents and so far they are not that impressed with hydroxychloroquine in the severely ill. Maybe its use will be in the less Ill. Likely this will require a phased approach. The real issue is 80 + percent of people will do well with no treatment whatsoever. We need to be able to identify those folks so we can concentrate on treating the ones that wont do well
