COVID-19 treatment protocols
Countries adopted very different treatment protocols for COVID-19.
Some countries preferred novel high-profit treatments, while others also used many
low-cost treatments. Low-cost non-prescription treatments can greatly increase treatment—especially early treatment—due to lower barriers to access, and research shows
complementary and synergistic benefits with many treatments1-25.
The plot shows the average efficacy and cost of approved treatments in
each country. Actual usage varied significantly from official protocols in many regions.
Top countries by population are shown where space precludes showing all country names.
