Here are today’s updates. Couple of points on it and research that was conducted today.
- Iran did not report to the WHO today.
- Values from Italy appear to have jumped significantly, this is not the actual case rather it has been determined Italy is reporting slightly differently than some countries. They were removing their recovered patients from their reported count to the WHO.
- Spain has now crossed the 10,000 patient threshold.
For some hopeful news however:
- There is preliminary evidence coming out of Australia and the Pacific that looks promising that the anti-malarial drug Chloroquine may be helpful as both a treatment and potential prophylactic. It appears the NIH and some researchers here in the states as well as in Australia and the South Pacific are starting to test this potential.
