Communist China has been developing treatment guidelines, now in their sixth edition, faster than the [[United States]] has.  The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19 (6th Ed.), which is published by the National Health Commission of communist [[China]], lists chloroquine (CQ) phosphate as a potentially even better drug than HCQ due to a lower cost, more potent effect, and wider availability.<ref name="Nature"/>

{{Cquote|Azithromycin is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as bronchitis; pneumonia; sexually transmitted diseases (STD); and infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs. Azithromycin also is used to treat or prevent disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection [a type of lung infection that often affects people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]. Azithromycin is in a class of medications called macrolide antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.}}
