During the early phase of the pandemic COVID-19, I published many therapeutic and preventive suggestions for COVID-19. The predictability of my suggestions are as the followings:
| SUGGESTION OF THERAPEUTIC STRATEGY (My Posting Date & Link Site) |
SOLUTION | PUBLISHED EVIDENCE |
What to eat against COVID-19? (2020.02.21. https://gracelive.tistory.com/24?category=838022) |

Metformin (Diabetes drug) may lower COVID-19 death risk in women. |

| Suggestion of the plausible eclectic therapeutic strategy for acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia by COVID-19: (2020.03.10. https://gracelive.tistory.com/50?category=838022) |
1. Roxithromycin vs Azithromycin. 2. Steroid for ARDS. |
[1] Azithromycin is well known but debatefu. [2] https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53061281 |
| Zinc & Coronavirus: (2020.03.19. https://gracelive.tistory.com/57?category=849032) |
Zinc with hydroxychloroquine. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7247509/ |
| Why does Novel Coronavirus have a longer incubation period?: (2020.03.19. https://gracelive.tistory.com/58?category=838022) |
Nuclear inclusion(NI) (The relationship between NI and COVID-19 incubation period has not been reported. But NIs are found in COVID-19 cases) |
Pulmonary Pathology of Early-Phase 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pneumonia in Two Patients With Lung Cancer. J Thorac Oncol. 2020 Feb 28:S1556-0864(20)30132-5. I suggest for Tian et al. to investigate the nuclear inclusion with EM(Electron microscope) examination. |
| The possibility of water-borne infection of COVID-19, in light of SARS coronaviruses: (2020.03.25. https://gracelive.tistory.com/60?category=838022) |
Water-borne infection of COVID-19 | https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2020/04/20/traces-of-coronavirus-found-in-water-in-france-paris.html |
Above 7 suggestions have been proved.
In addition to these, the significance of inherent herpes neuritins in association with COVID-19 will be unraveld in my opinion.
There are several reports about the skin rash and Kawasaki disease-like symptoms in COVID-19 patients. A majority of these cases may be confirmed as the secondary clinical expression to inherent herpes neuritis.
In this perspective, inherent herpes neuritis as the side effect of Hydroxychloroquine should be monitered and prepared for its treatment to use Hydroxychloroquine safely.
