!!! UPDATE !!!
As you will read in this post, I stopped working on it at the end of my workday yesterday. Overnight I received a message from a good childhood friend that studied in the USA, received a MS degree in geology, and return to Peru to work. Today he owns a company that employs 60+ people.
I have read on different occasions that some old and readily available medicines seem to work on patients with COVID-19. The severity of the symptoms and the number of days in a hospital has been reduced. The hospital stays are on average five days. When you compare results we are experiencing in North America and Western Europe, our treatment approaches do not seem to be working as well. People continue to die and stays in hospitals are between two and three weeks.
So what is going on?
First and the more obvious idea is that such treatments in Peru and Latin 
America in general are “fake news”. Could be, but when you look at number of deaths and people who we know are experiencing firsthand the benefits, I think is time to look for other theories.
Second, we live in a country whose economic system is based on Capitalism. Most (never generalize) companies are in business to make the last possible penny of customers at all cost. We have multiple examples (which I will not mention at this time) of companies in which the top executives and stock holders make huge amounts while at the same time many employees and customers are not able to take advantage of lower prices.
The possible conclusion is that Big Pharma backed up by politicians, is only interested in making money so they will delay as much as possible the use of cheap, simple and readily available medicines in favor of the ones in development that could potentially cost millions of deaths and billions of dollars to consumers.
Years ago my wife was seeing a very good doctor in a very good healthcare system. He and his wife, both doctors in medicine, were born in India. They both live in the USA and have built a nice and educated family. My wife asked her doctor for a treatment for nail fungus. Knowing the doctor for years he said that he could prescribe some medicine which is what the hospital suggested, or he could tell her what works in less time and at a fraction of the cost. Dip your feet in warm water with Listerine mouth wash a couple times a week. The issue should disappear in a few weeks. We tried it and it worked.
I did the following Google searches and read some of the articles in the results:

My suggestion would be to check if the sources are reliable and make up your own mind. In my humble opinion we need Capitalism 2.0 and Democracy 2.0.
