I am in the camp that believes we need to see what the miracle drug does at onset not when at death’s door
Therefore, I continue to look for things that stop the viral replication
As to the cytokine storm..perhaps monolaurin..melatonin

Today I have a patient with bad multifocal pneumonia, on 5-6 L NC and all the inflammatory markers are way up. They have some comorbid conditions and are on 3 chronic QT prolonging medications with a QTC of close to 500. Because of this, and because they are 9 days out from symptom onset, I didn’t mess with HCQ and went straight to toci in an attempt to keep them from getting intubated. We’ll see how it goes overnight as the patient is being monitored in the ICU. Might give another dose tonight if they keep fevering.
