That's correct. The respiratory issues with COVID-19 are are caused by a virus. Azithromycin is kinda sorta a ramped up Amoxicillin, and both are for upper body bacterial infections.
Al take a look at this story....it's interesting.
"A new study whose results were published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents has found early evidence that the combination of hydroxychloroquine, a popular anti-malaria drug known under the trade name Plaqenuil, and antibiotic azithromycin (aka Zithromax or Azithrocin) could be especially effective in treating the COVID-19 coronavirus and reducing the duration of the virus in patients"
Yes, I've seen that. Various labs are trying different angles at this. Let's hope one is shown to work after proper testing. Inadequate testing can result in drugs like thalidomide, and we don't want that.
At this point, I'm out of my comfort zone. Maybe RAH will know more about the testing process.
