Re: Chloroquine has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of Covid-19
#2Then we have a treatment (i.e., zinc gluconate + chloroquine):
A zinc tablet (10-80 mg) dissolved slowly in the mouth, lavaging the throat and nose, while lying down will cease coronaviral replication on most of the surfaces of the upper respiratory system. Zinc sprays also work. This must be done within the first 3-4 days of infection with covid-19.
The covid-19 virus' usual course is to first infect the eye, nose and/or throat and then, after ~3 days, move down into the lungs.
If chloroquine (mg) stops the virus in the bloodstream then the combination of (dissolved zinc in mouth + chloroquine pill (up to 500 mg of chloroquine per day) should slow (if not stop completely) the virus, allowing time to clear the virus from the body without raising an excessive immune response ("cytokine storm"). But this treatment must be done within 3-4 days of contracting covid-19.
These medicines are cheaply available now.

where do I get chloroquine? is this something I can ask my general practitioner for?

A doctor can prescribe it. Best to take it under the supervision of a doctor.

That is good news. But why 3-4 days? Because once it settles in the lungs it's out of reach for both treatments?
And do you mean 3-4 days from the appearance of symptoms or from the initial infection? From what I read, 3-4 days is not always long enough for someone to even know they have it.

Citation requested, that cytokine storms are a common pathology associated with Covid-19.
Because (a) I haven't seen that in the literature, & (b) it's at odds with the published age-banded mortality rates.

GPs won't prescribe on the basis that you might get sick and require a particular medication. You can't walk into your GP's office and ask for antibiotics, for instance.

Not common but very serious.

That's pretty much the exact set of circumstances that chloroquine is usually prescribed under.
