A collaborative study led by the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) with the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), a joint venture of the University of Melbourne and Royal Melbourne Hospital, has shown that an anti-parasitic drug already available around the world kills the virus within 48 hours.

The Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute’s Dr. Kylie Wagstaff, who led the study, said the scientists showed that the drug, Ivermectin, stopped the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture within 48 hours.
“We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,” Dr. Wagstaff said.
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.
Dr. Wagstaff cautioned that the tests conducted in the study were in vitro and that trials needed to be carried out in people.
“Ivermectin is very widely used and seen as a safe drug. We need to figure out now whether the dosage you can use it at in humans will be effective – that’s the next step,” Dr. Wagstaff said.
This would make things a lot simpler if it works. Until a vaccine or cure is developed this situation is only going to get worse - herd immunity just isn't a realistic outcome, and apparently neither is simple elimination.

it cant be eliminated without total quarantine, which is not possible in a globalized world we live in.
without total quarantine it will just jump back and forth between countries on different part of the curve and possibly mutate along the way. -

2020-04-05 at 4:45 PM UTCThe combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin seem to have some promise, but isn't a cure by any means. Also, since Trump tweeted about it, it every TDS victim lunatic is desperate to see it fail.
