Update on 2-24-21: Sorry for the delay, but more recently than this thread was initially uploaded, Ivermectin has demonstrated itself to have superior efficacy in all stages of development of COVID-19 disease, than any other expensive patented therapeutic that I am aware of including remdesivir/velkury, monoclonal antibodies and convalescent plasma therapy.

But the same rule applies. The earlier it is treated the better the chances of a full recovery are. DO NOT WAIT FOR APPALLINGLY UNRELIABLE PCR TEST (https://www.covid-19forum.org/index.php?board=20.0) RESULTS TO BE RETURNED.

American Association of Physicians and Surgeons recommends:
"5. Numerous studies show that once a patient is severely ill, HCQ is unlikely to help. Neither is remdesivir or other antiviral drugs. Prevention or early treatment is key. Waiting to get a diagnostic test result, or waiting for the test to turn positive may mean missing the window of opportunity."

Let alone that a test stands an excellent chance of delivering a false negative anyway.

"Prevention and EARLY TREATMENT are key." Don't wait for test results.
