### Update #5, 2021-1-2 ###
60 Minutes, Australian ABC did a documentary on a number of Austrailians and others who have been infected by COVID-19, yet survived. Unfortunately, in spite of their excellent health before their COVID-19 infection, they were hit hard, and continue to suffer significant, chronic weakness, breathing difficulties, lack of stamina, and significant scarring of their lungs, as seem on MRI chest imaging. They call themselves #longhaulers

A medical doctor reviews recent reports on medical trials of Ivermectin & other methods for COVID-19 treatment strategies. This info is being heavily censured by YouTube and most other social media platforms, so this is a re-posting of her info, this time with even more warnings and exclusions of taking individual action without involvement of your family doctor and COVID experts.

### End Update 5 ###
Dr. Kory & many other distinguished Doctors highly recommend Ivermectin as the drug of choice to prevent, cure, or minimize effects of COVID-19, and stop its spread to others.
I have used Ivermectin on my sheep & goats against intestinal worms & parasites with great success.
Ivermectin has been found to prevent 99.8% of viral replication.
EVMS has developed a comprehensive program, depending on the stage of the patient's COVID-19 disease.
### End Update 4 ###
The anti-malerial drug chloroquine has repeatedly shown good suppression of Wuhan corona virus for severity & duration of symptoms. Others drugs have also been proposed.
Drug Trial Results
There is preliminary screening study of virus doing cell infections in petri dish in lab, stopped by chloroquine.
https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/science/020620/could-an-old-malaria-drug-help-fight-the-new-coron
These followup research have now been published, confirming chloroquine was significantly effective during Chinese clinical studies on nCoV patients, reducing both the severity and duration of their illness:

Anti-malarial and anti-viral drugs are known for some significant complications and adverse reactions, including liver failure requiring liver transplant, PTSD, violence, permanent ear damage, psycho-social effects, nausea, etc.

Chloroquine
Chloroquine pills used to be available in Canada with prescription (maybe USA too), comes in 250 mg tablets.
For malaria, you need 2 wks. Of pills before exposure, weekly dose during exposure, plus continued doses for 4 wk after exposure ends.
I estimate the main Wuhan virus infectious period, with reverberations, will be 6 time constants in duration of 3 weeks= 6x3= 18 weeks, so this may require 24 weeks of treatment on prophylactic basis
Chloroquine drug is generally available as sulphate, phosphate, or diphosphate. WHO recommends the dose be calculated by base weights, where 100 mg base weight is equivalent to 130 mg of sulphate, or 160 mg of phosphate or diphosphate.
For accute malarial infection, initial dose for adults is 1000 mg, then 500 mg 8 hrs later, then 500 mg 24 hrs later, then 500 mg 24 hrs later (total 2500 mg in first 3 days), then 500 mg every week thereafter. For children, it's 25 mg base/kg given over the first 3 days as 10 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg (see above); for an aggregate cumilative total of 25 mg/kg over 3 days. It is assumed that life & death circumstances under Wuhan corona virus may require these huge, acute doses. In the primary use as a malarial drug, there is a fine line between therapeutic (1.7 mg base/kg body weight) and toxic (20 mg base/kg body weight). These are obviously huge doses so as to nip the acute infection in the bud, but these huge doses bring significant risks of side effects, complications, & adverse reactions; including kidney &/or liver failure, permanent hearing loss, gastrointestinal upset, and death. I am no medical doctor, but you should consult one before taking such drastic measures.

Additional info on potential side effects: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/chloroquine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20062834?p=1
For prophylaxis (ie. Prevention of disease), WHO recommends 100 mg/day, starting 24 hrs before exposure, continuing throughout the exposure, and for 4 weeks after the exposure ends. For children, it's 1.7 mg base/kg of body weight.
Total supply required is 60 pills of 250 mg tablets per adult person. Children dosed similarly based on body weight.
China seems to only use after onset of symptoms.
Chloroquine is a Sch. 1 drug as of Dec 2013 in Canada, it need a prescription. This drug is no longer readily available in Ontario Canada for human pharmacy.
Tropical fish still use chloroquine, so it may be available online via amazon.com or equivalent, from Vet., etc. These fish drugs do not meet the necessary standards for humans, that's why they're sold cheaply for fish, rather than at higher sale price for human drug markets.
Current, recommended human drug anti-malarial is malarone, which is a dual drug (250 mg atovaquone, 100 mg proguanil), highly effective, start drug 2 days b4 exposure, continue till 7 days after exposure ends, 100 tablet bottle $460.00 ouch! Unknown if effective against Wuhan corona virus.
Quinine (1860's drug) 40 mg tablets are available without prescription. The 300 mg quinine tablets requires prescription, available via pharmacy @ $60.00 per 100 tablets. Unknown if this drug is effective against Wuhan corona virus.

Ivermectin is an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug that has also been shown to be effective in vitro against a broad range of viruses including HIV, Dengue, Influenza and Zika virus.
This means it works in a Petrie dish in a lab, but it's unknown if it will work in a human body, the correct dise required, and complications or side effects that may occur.
This Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) collaborative study was published in Antiviral Research, a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Elsevier.
Ivermectin is normally used for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and similar animals for treating against intestinal parasites.
*** End Update 3, 2020-04-07 ***
There are significant risks with a human taking an animal drugs before proper testing has been conducted.
By taking the proper Vitamins (B6, D, D2, D3, C, etc) we can maximize the human immune system resistance. The drugs have significant cost, limited shelf life, and possibly serious side effects. There are other alternatives (eg. PPE Personal Protective Equipment, belief & obedience to God, Faith Healing, self Quarantine, etc.) which have fewer or less serious consequences than these drugs.
It is therefore recommended to consider maximizing the use of these non-drug alternatives, and only consider these prescription drugs if you have a special medical condition, or the other solutions are not available, and you are already in a life & death corner with no other mesns of escape.

Conclusion
These drugs are not vaccines to prevent, they only mitigate (ie. lessen) the effects of the infection, if they work.There are significant risks with a human taking an animal drugs before proper testing has been conducted.
By taking the proper Vitamins (B6, D, D2, D3, C, etc) we can maximize the human immune system resistance. The drugs have significant cost, limited shelf life, and possibly serious side effects. There are other alternatives (eg. PPE Personal Protective Equipment, belief & obedience to God, Faith Healing, self Quarantine, etc.) which have fewer or less serious consequences than these drugs.
