I’d call it a “potential cure” and if I had the virus, I’d want to take it.

The have been hundreds of real word treatments with swimming success. You've sen them and we've all sen them. But I'll buy the "potential cure" angle since there have been no double blind studies that I know of (not enough time). But I'll take anecdotal any day over the FDA.

I believe at least two controlled trials have started but I don’t know if they’re through sampling or have it written up. I’d hate to be in the control group if I were high risk which. . . I’m getting there shall we say. But I think the study has several arms and they are trying different cocktails (funny word) of HCQ, Zpak, and Zinc.

We’re really in violent agreement ;-) My example of how I would be happy to take it based on anectdotal evidence is exactly why WE as individuals (with our doctors) should be making decisions affecting our healthcare, not some expert in DC or a fascist Governor on a power trip.

But have a look at this:

This also sound very encouraging. From the explanation provided it works in the same way as HCQ by preventing the virus from reproducing, probably because it was engineered to do so using techniques that weren’t available until fairly recently.

I sure like the sound of this better than a vaccine - having never had a flu vaccine for the same reason cited above.
