Well, studies out of France tell us the nicotine patch MIGHT help fight the Coronavirus. I find this highly doubtful but what the heck. If this is the case can one only imagine the investments made in these companies. Someone's going to get rich; probably the pols first.
Whenever there's a calamity an new idea or invention is conceived and from the strangest places and products.
French researchers are planning to trial whether nicotine patches will help prevent - or lessen the effects of - the deadly coronavirus.
Evidence is beginning to show the proportion of smokers infected with coronavirus is much lower than the rates in the general population.
Scientists are now questioning whether nicotine could stop the virus from infecting cells, or if it may prevent the immune system overreacting to the infection.
Doctors at a major hospital in Paris - who also found low rates of smoking among the infected - are now planning to give nicotine patches to COVID-19 patients.
