From Capital Daily: Island hospitals join global COVID-19 cure testing
Local patients will be asked to test a drug cocktail meant to treat the virus
COVID-19 patients at Royal Jubilee and Nanaimo Regional, Vancouver Island’s two pandemic response hubs, will be asked to participate in a two year voluntary study assessing drug treatments for the disease. Led by the World Health Organization, the study is spanning 90 countries and will gauge the effectiveness of three drugs; Kaletra, a drug used to treat HIV, Remdesivir, an antiviral and hydroxychloroquine, a malaria treatment that was controversially pushed as a possible cure by US President Donald Trump. There are currently only 5 COVID-positive hospitalized Islanders, which may limit the study significantly.
