Laurus nobilis oil exerted an interesting activity against SARS-CoV with an IC(50) value of 120 microg/ml and a selectivity index (SI) of 4.16. This oil was characterized by the presence of beta-ocimene, 1,8-cineole, alpha-pinene, and beta-pinene as the main constituents.

Yes hydroxichloroquine has been shown effective in vitro very recently as well ( https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid... ). Yes both compounds are already actively being used and…
