    "We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum antiviral activity*in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2)," the researchers write.

We need to figure out now whether the dosage you can use it at in humans will be effective—that's the next step," Newsweek magazine reported.*"We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it...
