It will be very good news indeed if these therapies will work.  I'm particularly intrigued by the study in France with the use of quinine.  It is easily and cheaply made and is already readily available.  The vaccine for SARS took 21 months to develop which at the time was a record.  So I'm not holding out much hope that we can find a vaccine before the next flu season.  Hopefully the Wuhan virus will be like SARS, MERS and the usual strain of flu virus and will simply not reappear in the fall.   But if it does I am optimistic that by then we will have some effecacious treatment regimens readily available so we won't have a repeat of this year's madness.
