Agreed, this is so sad to see. In general I would say "follow the money" might be a good test to apply to any cures. Who is promoting it and are they linked to the people selling it? And if it seems too good to be true then I'm afraid it probably is. I seriously doubt there will be a single silver bullet that is a cure all. We'll be lucky to have an effective vaccine within a year or so (that's for those who aren't anti-vaccine - I realise opinions on this forum vary).
The area I'm reading most about is vitamin D. It passes the "follow the money" test because it isn't patented, hundreds of companies produce it, and it isn't even especially expensive. I'll post more of the science around vitamin D elsewhere - hopefully I'll find time at the weekend to gather actual research. But don't get your hopes too high, best case scenario for vitamin D is higher survival rate/not such severe cases - this isn't a cure.
