Here in the Philippines they are doing a trial of virgin coconut oil (no I am not joking.?this is a lighter oil than what we use in cooking).
Some Africans have fewer sites for the virus to attach, so some wonder if they will have less severe disease. However the high rate in the US black community suggests no.
There was also a question if using Ace2 inhibitor blood pressure medicine allows the virus to attach better, and makes it worse.
No decent studies on any of them
As for hydrochloroquin and other antivirals, what few reports mention is that when we treat viruses, you have to start the medicine right away or it doesn't work. This is true for influenza. And it is also true for herpes ulcers and cold sores. We often gave folks with frequent attacks a script so they could start it right away.
That might be why reports on various treatments are so vague...because the people don't see doctors right away.
