A World renowned French Infectious disease Doctor did a test with 40 positive patients and had a 100% cure rate is what I heard...The USA is looking to do a larger study. It has been around for 50 years and may be quite a weapon.
Time will tell.
Making plasma from the blood of survivors who now have no virus in their bloodstream is another example of new treatments.
It is a shame china hid this shit for 3 months..

Not quite. Here is some information on the trial. The combination of the two drugs MAY reduce the duration of the infection. But in various discussions of these results, it was not nearly as clear cut as this summary makes out. And Azithromycin may actually make the illness worse if it is given late rather than early when the person has symptoms.

Here are some comments from scientists cautioning against too much optimism, and giving details of potentially serious side effects of this treatment.

Price used to be 15$ a box for 30 pills/200mg
When I got it few days ago was around 30$
Now that the government banned it's sale and it's to be kept for hospitals only the few pharmacies that have it are asking close to 200$ a box as of today.

With all due understanding of the OP's plight, this is where the tyre hits the road.
Do we scramble to source a medicine for our relatives in the West, or for ourselves "just in case", when the Gov has deemed it reserved for hospital use only locally?
Self-centred mad scramble, or support legitimate public health measures?

Incidentally, since a certain world renown orange-haired Cv expert gave it the nod, wild exaggerations about its effectiveness have flooded the airwaves from certain quarters.
To dispel some of the hype that has appeared even on these pages.

The french trial was on 24 patients not 40
It did not have a 100% cure rate
Yes, America does plan wide-scale tests but they are rather late on board with this. Many other researchers were onto it some time earlier. The Chinese first, then the French, many other large scale trial around the world already in place.
China did not hide this virus for three months.

but Yes, time, and properly conducted research will tell. Not wild exaggeration.

the chinese have been testing it for fucking months longer because they kept it secret .
the french built the fucking lab around the corner from the market in Wuhan china....they were allowed access long before any USA Doctors... research scientists.
so, it is logical that the fucking chinese were testing a drug that has been around for decades and anything else they could pull out of their ass while covering up this shit.
They did not share jack shit with Italy...

LOL,
And the main way USA shares it's research with China is by letting thousands and thousands of spies crawl all over its science.

(ps, sure we are idiological opposites on many things J57, and i have been going in hard recently.
But i do respect that you hold equally strong views, and you are certainly not an idiot.
just want you to know that)

Pharmacies are not allowed to sell now there isn't too much of it available.

I recommend buy some.

Seems highly effective combined with the common azitromicin antibiotic.
WHere do you get the "highly effective" from? AFAIK there has only been 1 small study in france. it eradicated the virus in 7 days from 75% of the test subjects but many people only take 7 days to get over it. larger studies are going on. As for Azithromyacin, that is one of the last resort antibiotics for chest infections that do not respond to other antibiotics. Antibiotics do not kill viruses, but they can help with secondary bacterial infections. if everyone starts popping Azithromyacin before they have a confirmed bacterial infection then it will create bacteria resistant to one of the last line sof defence for other diseases

This was posted by Elon musk regarding Plaquenil/hydrocloroquine.

Pretty big endorsement.
