After Xi'an, Another City Is Locked Down In China. The city of Xi'an, a city of 10 million people in China, has been completely locked down for 13 days, but the outbreak continues. On January 2, two more asymptomatic infections were reported in Yuzhou, a city of one million counties in Henan Province, making a cumulative total of three asymptomatic infections. That night, the local municipality decided to close the city, forbidding all residents to go out, quarantining all homes and closing all streets and stores for commercial and economic activities.—— CReaders Report
Conclusions
Our study suggests that the treatment protocol of HCQ, AZM, and zinc with or without vitamin C is safe and effective in the treatment of COVID-19, with high dose IV vitamin C leading to a significantly quicker recovery.
Importantly, our study confirms vitamin D deficiency to be a high-risk factor of severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalization, with 97% of our study’s patient cohort being vitamin D deficient, 55% of these being severely vitamin D deficient, and none had optimal levels.
Future trials are warranted to evaluate the treatment with a combination of high-dose vitamin D3 in addition to HCQ, AZM, and zinc and high-dose intravenous vitamin C.
