Doctors suspect hydroxychloroquine+Azythromicin might work best if taken before infection, or early on. But I'll bet the drug trials are only for patients with more advanced infections. My logic here is that it would be the dumbest thing we could do, so. . . probably.

The way HCQ works (supposedly - we don't know) is that it prevents the virus from binding to the cell and penetrating it. That's how it works for the malaria parasite. So "in theory" (I know, I know) it could actually prevent infection if you're exposed.

Note I'm not just making an analogy. I've actually read up a bit on the biochemsitry re the mechanism of action for HCQ in malaria.

Azithromycin is only partially taken for its antibiotic action. It’s mainly taken bc it has anti viral properties that have been proven but still not fully understood.

Pretty sure I had it. 2 weeks in bed, 3 ER visits later I am still getting over it. There are other things people can do proactively. Take zinc. Cold Ez and pills. I was doing netty pot (w 2x salt) when I got it and was mild for 1.5 weeks. One day of little sleep and bam hit hard

What about that doctor on Tucker the other night who was taking HCQ as a preventative.

One of the drugs, I was reading today, has known strains of malaria resistant to it. Typically this comes from not completing the treatment so the strongest are allowed to escape, repeatedly, generation upon generation, and breed a stronger virus.
