It occurs when a team from the Chelsea and Westminster hospital announces a 450-person coronavirus study of the flu drug favipiravir and the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. These trials could lead to faster results than waiting for a vaccine.
A research paper published today confirmed that if any of the drugs is even slightly effective, it could transform the pandemic.
Dr. Michael Pelly, HIV specialist professor Anton Pozniak and international financial consultant Guy de Selliers, established a three-phase plan to bring the British back to normal.
This would see the prison closing much faster than government advisers anticipate.
The authors have suggested that as hospital admissions decline, the reduction in restrictions may even begin within two weeks.
Additional restrictions could be lifted due to test results in early June, with a complete end to the blockade in mid-summer.
Dr. Pelly said: “HIV completely changed as a disease through the development of treatments, without scientists developing a vaccine.
“In the short term, antivirals can give us the option we need.
“We cannot live locked up forever. In the long term, we need a vaccine, we need drugs for early disease, we need drugs for late disease, we need the whole range. ”

It is also paying for three other studios across the UK.
More than half of the drugs being tested worldwide are already licensed and in mass production for other treatments, so they could be implemented quickly.
