I am not saying hydroxychloroquine definitely works .As a physician I make risk benefits decisions 100s of time of day. The risks have been known for 100 years and during my course in tropical medicine at John Hopkins in my MPH course the risks of hydroxychloroquine were considered worth the benefit for malaria prevention. If someone can show me a couple of good studies that it clearly doesn't work for COVID 19 I would love to see them and might not take mine at the time That Newsweek article Julius shared was no less than trash. It made a big issue of one patient being stopped during a study and clearly was trying to serve disinformation. The news media told people not to wear a mask when the benefit/risk wearing was enormous. Why? Do you think that an extra 1000 masks got to healthcare workers? I doubt it .Did they want the illness to take hold? The journalistic disinformation on mask use has killed thousands for a skewed political purpose. Those on this board who knowingly pass on false/ inflammatory/ misleading data for political purpose, especially in the medical field when it clearly can harm others, are the same breed

They clearly were not cured. No? Or they were a false positive the first time? Or a false positive the second time? I worked with a brilliant Doctor Herbert Kushner at one point. A 26 year old would die at home from "asthma" and he would say "No she didn't she died of an OD" He explained that shortness of breath is such a terrible phenomena that he had never met a asthmatic that tolerated it at home until they died. Now for COVID 19 patients,the average age of death of these patients is 81. Most COVID patients die from pneumonia which causes severe shortness of breath 81 year olds can die for a million reasons. Some may have died at home in China as they would chance death by suffocation if they were afraid they would be thrown into a COVID 19 unit otherwise but I doubt that is the case in the rest of the world. I get 90 year old patients in my facilities that I know will die from something in the next 30 days. Only in extreme situations will I give significant medications as there is a good chance I will bring their deaths forward by a couple of days, and even if I don't it will look like I did To assume COVID 19 has super hero abilities to do what no virus has done before or multiple abilities to do what rare viruses have done before is to almost certainly to make you wrong
