DANIEL DAE KIM REVEALS HE'S 'PRACTICALLY BACK TO NORMAL' AFTER TESTING POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS
On the drug front, there's more promising news, knock on sanitized wood.
Researchers are reporting on a combo of anti-malarial meds and antibiotics, which were prescribed to coronavirus patients, and saw a significant reduction in the viral load in them. Meanwhile, anecdotal evidence, straight from patients' mouths, are attesting to its success.

Well, add my name to those personal accounts, because I am feeling better."
