I think the treatment to be tried is only hydroxychloroquine and with it a z-pack. Zinc may also end up in the cocktail. Hydroxychloroquine (Pacquinel) has been used in Africa for long term use against malaria and here against lupus without serious side effects. But that is when the physician is managing it so as to avoid or minimize side effects. With the virus, usage would be short in duration but there would still be risk to some segments of the population. Me, for instance. Having arrhythmia in both chambers, I would need to be handled more carefully than a crisis situation could most likely handle. Hydroxychloroquine does cause arrhythmia in patients with normal heart rhythms so I'm an unlikely candidate for it in general. Last week Fox showed an interview with a doctor at Columbia Hospital in NYC--in a hallway and in his scrubs--who said, among other things, that he's using the 3-part cocktail above prophylactically.
