Hydroxychloroquine, antimalarial tablets, commonly sold under the brand name Plaquenil, were reported March 9 in Clinical Infectious Diseases journal to be effective at killing the coronavirus in laboratory experiments.
"Of the 20 test patients, six who were treated with both Plaquenil and the antibiotic azithromycin did even better, the team reported. Five of the six, or 83 percent, tested negative at day three. All six, 100 percent, tested negative at day six."
in a letter in Cell Discovery, Wednesday, the study’s authors, mainly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan, wrote, “(W)e predict that the drug has a good potential to combat the disease.”
Repurposing established drugs, like Plaquenil , which was approved in 1955, may be a quick, safe and economical way to attack a new virus.

It all sounds very promising. A combination of new and old drugs and a spell of warm, sunny weather should see us through the worst of this. | |

The Deputy Chief Medical Officer on Sky News last night and a US government spokeswoman, also on Sky News, a couple of days ago. As for the information I posted before their announcements, that just took a bit of online research.
A word of caution if you are thinking of buying Hydroxychloroquine, overdosing can be harmful, as it can with any other drug, including aspirin. There are reports of people in Nigeria eating them like sweets and suffering the consequences. According to the UK's Deputy Chief Medical Officer last night, they are giving it to coronavirus patients in clinical trials but it will be some time before they announce any results.
