Is traditional Chinese medicine useful in the treatment of COVID-19?

Recently, there were lots of debate going throughout the world regarding the current outbreak and treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner, I believe that the TCM treatment of COVID-19 was ignored. On Feb 6, 2020, guideline for rapid advice on diagnosis and treatment of 2019-ncov pneumonia have been released in China [1].

Routine treatment comprises use of antiviral therapy and antibiotics, nutritional support, mechanical ventilation when necessary and so on.
