A Remdesivir, ritonivir, and lopinavir drug cocktail may be the most potent CoVid killer.  This conclusion from a Singapore artificial intelligence study just pre-published on the medrixiv.org.

 

Researchers used their IDentif.ai platform and known CoVid killing abilities of 12 anti-viral drugs to predict and test a half million possible drug combinations.  The result: adding to remdesivir the antiviral ritonivir/lopinavir combo drug, marketed as Kaletra for HIV PreP use, would drive a 6.5 fold greater therapeutic effect compared with remdesivir alone.

 

This model correlates with clinical findings in that remdesivir  alone is only 16% effective and hydroxychloroquine, even with Zithromax, is only 3-4% effective.
