Inclusion criteria

1. Signed informed consent, demonstrating that the subject understands the procedures required for the study and the purpose of the study 2. Healthy male or female subjects at least 18 years of age 3. Diabetic and obese (BMI \> 30) patients will be included in the Trial but randomization will be stratified. 4. Positive test for COVID-19 by RT-PCR or rapid antigen test at screening 5. Subjects must agree to practice at least two highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study. One of these must be a barrier method. Exceptions for females and partners of females that are not of childbearing potential. (e.g. surgically sterilized, post-menopausal) 6. Subjects must agree they will attend the treatment facility daily for 10d in the event of failure to attend, the patient will be visited at their home to collect the nasal swab and review data.

Exclusion criteria

1. Refusal to sign informed consent form 2. Negative test for COVID-19 by RT-PCR at screening 3. Severe disease symptomatically including pneumonia, respiratory distress, tachypnea, shortness of breath, temperature \> 104.0 degrees F, pleuritic pain, or frequent cough. 4. Known drug allergy to any of the investigational medications 5. Currently taking medication with known drug interactions with investigational medications, found in Appendix II 6. Prescription or other antiviral medications 7. Any comorbidities which constitute health risk for the subject including known cardiac arrhythmias - but will be limited to those on hydroxychloroquine 8. Inability to attend daily for 10 days

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to Non-Infectivity by RT-PCR6 monthsTime to negative RT-PRC result indicating that patient is no longer infective
Time to Symptom progression in days as measured by NEWS scoring system (National Early Warning Score)6 monthsTime to reduced symptoms in each treatment group as indicated by NEWS scores, which rate patient status based on a zero to three scale for 8 parameters. These values are added up to create the NEWS score. The lower the NEWS score, the better the patient's clinical condition. Zero is the lowest possible score, whereas 7 or greater represents a high degree of clinical risk.
Time to Symptom improvement as measured by NEWS scoring system (National Early Warning Score)6 monthsTime to reduced symptoms in each treatment group as indicated by NEWS scores, which rate patient status based on a zero to three scale for 8 parameters. These values are added up to create the NEWS score. The lower the NEWS score, the better the patient's clinical condition. Zero is the lowest possible score, whereas 7 or greater represents a high degree of clinical risk.
Efficacy of Treatment as measured by Titer6 monthsPatients will have serum stored for titer testing to compare antibody levels over time
Efficacy of Treatment as measured by RT-PCR10 daysNumber of patients testing negative for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR after 10 days of treatment
