I find it strange that this would be a new discovery, considering that even a casual search shows a decently large body of research specifically into the combinations of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine with metformin.

Yep. Ding ding ding! Tried to post this link onto hn but it couldn't accept for some reason. This was a leaked paper submitted to NEJM.
Interesting but not sure how generalizable a study on genetically modified mice is. I threw HCQ and metformin into the Epocrates drug interaction checker and this is what I got back, "Monitor glucose: combo may incr. risk of hypoglycemia, including life-threatening (additive effects)"
