According to CDC, people around the world commonly get infected with human coronaviruses 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1. Sometimes coronaviruses that infect animals can evolve and make people sick and become a new human coronavirus. Three recent examples of this are 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV.
Coronavirus treatment
With coronavirus pandemic claiming over 10,000 lives with at least 250,000 reported cases, the race to find treatment for people already infected with coronavirus became critical. The good news came on March 16, when a new academic study by a group of researchers, in consultation with Stanford University School of Medicine, UAB School of Medicine, and National Academy of Sciences researchers, found that over the counter anti-malaria pills Chloroquine may be highly effective at treating coronavirus COVID-19. Chloroquine works by enabling the body’s cells better to absorb zinc, which is key in preventing viral RNA transcription – and disrupting the often fatal cytokine storm.
However, the good news was short lived after FDA came out saying chloroquine has not yet been approved to treat coronavirus patients until sufficient data about the safety and effectiveness of chloroquine is available. Now, a new unearthed paper published in 2005 and shared with CDC, found that “Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture.”
The study published in Virology Journal titled ‘Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread,” found that “Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.”
Below is the abstract of their findings.

Governor Cuomo is EAGER to start these trials next week in NY, select hospitals and select patients
Rage, rage against the dying of the light ... make sure your physician will give you hydroxychloroquine and Zpak as soon as ANY symptom arises. Up your zinc and D3 levels asap. A selenium supplement will help keep zinc higher in your ‘around/between cells’ region (interstitial fluids). The Chloroquine will act as an ionophore to ferry zinc into virus infected cells.
Dont’ give me that shit. It’s your turn.
Oh my, your ego is spilling out, captain. Did you really imagine you’re in charge here? LOL, have your drinks, happy.
Sure but what about the people that don't get the drug? They have to die to prover your point, that is what a double blind study does. Give a drug to people that shows promise and withhold the real drug from half of them, count the dead as a positive, that is what data does. It is immoral to withhold a drug from people that might be helped by it no matter what data you need. People have to die my foot, how about the ones that take it and keep living, that is data as well. Just not absolute proof that you think they need. The drug has been abound since the 40's what more do you think they need to know about the safety of it?
There is the recent French study which skipped using a double blind because of the necessity of the moment.
“...Imagine if it was meant only to be used by the elites and ‘dummy Trump’ let the secret out of the bag. Hence the executive orders by Dem Governors.....”
Tin Foil Hat is on: it was the antidote from the beginning the communist RATS and the communist Chinese are in collusion to bring down the POTUS. This bioweapon was their next choice seeing where nothing else has worked. They had the antidote from the beginning and all the RATS probably have been on it from the start. IF any of this is true, they should all be strung up from sea to shining sea for all to see!!!
It would be useful to have the original paper. It seems the question is weather it works to prevent people from ever getting Covid versus how well it works once they are actually infected.
Nice source.
Pardon me if I arch an eyebrow.
How many drugs work 100%? What of side-effects that were sufficiently severe that a patient discontinued use, even though the primary treatment goal was still achievable?
Stop wasting your time.
You can’t explain it to these people. And, I have to say, in an “n of one” trial, I had good luck with HCQ + Kaletra this week.
For the moment, ponder the question of Quercetin + Bromelain with a zinc supplement. EGCg from green tea might be worth a look.
Yes! ... I have the remains of a gallon of green tea in the garage fridge. I keep my zinc znd D3 levels high during flu seasons. Haven’t had a vaccine for anything since decades ago. If I become symptomatic I will not hesitate to use HCQ and Zpak.
Interesting:
“ Chloroquine has antiviral effects. It increases late endosomal or lysosomal pH, resulting in impaired release of the virus from the endosome or lysosome – release requires a low pH. The virus is therefore unable to release its genetic material into the cell and replicate.
Chloroquine also seems to act as a zinc ionophore, that allows extracellular zinc to enter the cell and inhibit viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.”

Four f@#$ing months ago they were necessary. This is another manufactured “crisis” that has one big difference. Real people died needlessly. Hang ‘em high!
