>Melatonin could be a possible treatment for those who contract the coronavirus, according to a new study from the Cleveland Clinic. The findings were published Monday in the journal PLOS Biology.
>The hormone, which regulates the body’s circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle, was associated with a 30% reduced likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19. However, additional studies are needed, the researchers said.
>“It is very important to note these findings do not suggest people should start to take melatonin without consulting their physician,” Feixiong Cheng, the lead author of the study and a researcher in the Cleveland Clinic’s Genomic Medicine Institute, said in a statement.
>“Large-scale observational studies and randomized controlled trials are critical to validate the clinical benefit of melatonin for patients with COVID-19,” Cheng said. “But we are excited about the associations put forth in this study and the opportunity to further explore them.”
>The research team analyzed patient data from Cleveland Clinic’s COVID-19 registry and saw that melatonin usage was related to a reduced likelihood of testing positive. They specifically looked at the common symptoms and causes of death for severe COVID-19 and other diseases, such as sepsis and respiratory distress syndrome, to see if any current drugs on the market could help with coronavirus cases.

This sounds like honest-to-god horseshit.
