Yes, from what I understand it somehow blocks the playing of Barry White records, which decreases the odds that the viruses will reproduce.
By the way, both the drugs are already FDA approved and in widespread use and doctors already have the discretion to do "off-label use" of FDA-approved drugs, so your doctor can prescribe them to you TODAY for coronavirus at his discretion.
Many, many docs will do this, everyone will be cured in 6 days, and everyone will say
"HOLY SCHITT!" which will cause far more docs to do it, and so on.... making fed approval of this novel new use largely irrelevant.
Fed approval of this novel new use will merely put this new use ON the label, that's about it. Or at least, that's what I've been told.
The only approval that is "hard needed" is SAFETY approval, which both drugs have had for decades already.
We may see a glorious tsunami of hundreds or thousands of cured patients within the next 1-2 weeks!
