This shows pretty conclusively that the combination of HCN + zinc makes a huge difference when you give it to patients not sick enough to need the ICU yet. It also shows that it has very little effect on patients that need the ICU.
How do we know that HCQ lets zinc in through the cell membrane and that blocks virus replication? Because that has been proved with human cells in vitro, and sure enough it also works in vivo as shown in the study I quoted with p = 0.004
It's the combination of HCQ + zinc that is effective early with p = 0.004. To bad those poor lupus and RA sufferers weren't taking any zinc. BTW, I'm not taking HCQ because it's prescription and a bit dangerous. I'm taking quercetin and zinc (below the recommended zinc safe dose) because quercetin is a zinc ionophore like HCQ, but very safe.
(Sorry, used HCN as abbreviation for hydroxychloroquine at times)
