Wasn't COVID-19 the spurs fan who used to put bar charts up on this forum?

I have not got it just been informed.

Just a chest infection. Need to watch I don’t get this on top mind.

Fucking tough times though and left me a bit depressed. Worried sick about my old man.

You obviously didn’t get to 2nd base with @karen7 then.

I was reading the medical literature today about coronavirus and came across a paper by yao et al, 2020 who have just published a study that suggests that an existing anti-arthritis / anti-malarial treatment (Hydroxychloroquine) maybe effective against coronavirus. The paper is titled In Vitro Antiviral Activity and Projection of Optimized Dosing Design of Hydroxychloroquine for the Treatment of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). I know it relates to another coronavirus but I have seen comments that it maybe effective against Covid19.

Something to think about if you are an arthritis sufferer or your parents are but you'd have to go through your GP as this is not available over the counter.

It is not a vaccine but this paper suggests it maybe of use as an anti-viral treatment. Note though that this is a test-tube study and not a human trial however we already know the drug has been deemed safe for arthritis patients (subject to some side effects which maybe important for some people).

I post this hoping you will treat the information with caution, but interest. So far much of the news about Covid19 has been how a vaccine is 12 months away, but there are anti-viral treatments that I have heard are being used.

Just to clarify for others, SARS-CoV-2 is the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

I am glad you do not already have it but I can relate to the worry of getting it on top of what you already have.

Take reasonable precautions and don’t snog @karen7!
