#2Sorry for the crosspost here, and I'll delete it if you think it is inappropriate, dang, but -
To any scientists - an anti-malarial is found to be effective against coronavirus. At the same time, initial reports are suggesting that people with type O blood have a reduced risk of infection and lower infection severity than those with other blood types. The same pattern also holds true for malaria, with type O blood having a protective and suppressive effect. If the coronavirus is getting into cells via the ACE2 receptor, why would we expect any of this other stuff to be effective? Why is an anti-parasitic working to reduce viral load? Why is the same blood type protective of both? What common mechanism of action or attack (perhaps hitching a ride on blood cells to spread through the body?) are we missing?

got any link on this?
I am O type and I think I got the virus last week (I live in a virus hot spot in Europe). I just got a mild fever though and my wife got infected 3 days later, she had the same symptoms.
We fell we still have it because now we both cannot smell things, and my wife has cannot taste anything.

The only thing it does is allowing zinc ions into the cell, i.e. it is a zinc ionophore, and zinc (inside the cell!) inhibits many viruses' replication [0][1].
So, you need both zinc and hydroxychloroquine.

I hope you have a pulse oximeter - go to the hospital if it gets below 95!

#7Is that drug going to be available to large groups of people for reasonable prices? Or is there a problem manufacturing it?

#8Please don’t give The Sun the oxygen of coverage or links, it is as authoritative as The National Enquirer.
Not to mention they are known lying scum who traduced the 96 dead at Hillsborough.
