An article in NY Times indicate severe cases may be caused by Cytokine confusion.

The NIH description of Hydroxychloroquine indicates that it can suppress Cytokine response.

I wonder if this may be the key to HCQ effectiveness to manage the confusion.

I also find it interesting that the FDA authorization for HCQ Emergency use denotes the use of HCQ Sulfate, but the NIH sheet on HCQ Sulfate does NOT describe its effectiveness for Cytokine suppression….
