Professor Kiji Noh in San Francisco:

Chinese doctors have been using TCM (Chinese medicine) as standard treatment protocol for Covid, in addition to  supportive western intervention [and also progressively more active interventions (cannular oxygen, NIV, intubation, ventilation, ECMO, lung transplant); anti-viral treatment (Lopinavir, chloroquine phosphate, interferon); glucocorticoids/corticosteroids (methylpredisolone); convalescent plasma therapy].
The west has ignored this use of TCM as unscientific, dismissing it as placebo, and compared it to Trump’s suggestion to drink bleach.  This is unfortunate. Here are some studies:

As you can see, the Chinese have been using Huang Qin (Chinese skullcap; Scutellaria radix; the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi), a  plant considered to have antiviral  properties and used previously for Dengue Fever and H1N1 

The Covid-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2)  has a RBD (Receptor Binding domain) on the spike (glycoprotein) that allows it to attach to a human cell wall, binding to a specific receptor cell, ACE 2 in the epithelial membrane.  This is how it attacks the cell: the RBD functions like a grappling hook, which then attaches the virus like a barnacle to the human cell.  It then has to activate/fuse/enter the [human] cell. In order to do that, the spike protein needs to activate the cleavage site, which functions like a biological can opener.  This cleavage site is Furin activated.  

The TCM medicine used, Huang Qin, works as a Furin inhibitor, which prevents the virus from penetrating and activating inside the cell. Huang Qin contains baicalein.  Bacalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone) is a flavone, which has been documented as an antiviral, and may be the active ingredient inhibiting Furin.  If this is so, Huang Qin may be an effective preventive treatment for Covid. There is no approved Furin inhibitor in the western pharmacopoeia.

This is still a hypothesis, but if correct, it indicates very subtle microbiological action in Chinese medicine. 
Chinese doctors have categorized the progression of Covid-19 into 5 stages.  3 of the 5 TCM diagnostic classifications/stages (early & middle; wet lungs, external heat/internal cold/intermittent cold-heat) prescribe Huang Xin/Baical Skullcap.  (This is similar to the way Artemisinin was discovered and isolated from Traditional Chinese Medicine as an anti-Malarial treatment).  
There’s also a growing body of work which indicates that the virus disrupts through vascular endothelial dysfunction or heme metabolism not the disruption of surfactant via ACE2 lung entry.  This can result in HAPE-like hypoxemia, so preventing this mechanism from activating can prevent the sudden and unexpected deaths that have been noted, especially in younger, healthier people. 
Note the Chinese emphasis on monitoring oxygen (pulse oximeters) and balancing blood (“two balances”), Vitamin C.
