Prevent Senior in Brazil, an health operator with mosts of its patients on risk groups (60+ yo) are using hydroxychloroquine on all its COVID-19 patients with tremendous success. Right now I choose to believe on MD in front line rather then in Health Societies, FDA, WHO and those bureaucrats who let the virus spread all around due to its incompetence

Doctors and clinicians on front lines in NYC and greater NYC area say it's not helping at all, that they've by and large given up on using it. So I could reply that right now I choose to believe these MDs and ARNPs on front lines rather than commenters on HN. But that's not helpful compared to research. This one is a mess, and the tiny sampling of articles we have are not definitive. // Disclaimer: Lived in Africa for a decade, took anti-malarials. These and others can be nasty for a lot of people, some folks have to hunt to find things that aren't worse than the occasional bout of malaria. In fact, while my family took them, I never found anything tolerable. Curiously, the rest of the family got malaria, I did not.

  Cuomo just said he is confident about hidroxychloroquine as NYC may see a plateau soon

    This is the confusing thing about hidroxychloroquine right now. Two people looking at the same data, one saying it’s helping and one saying it’s doing nothing.

Agreed, also Hydroxychloroquine cost only few cents per pill, its probably too hard to swallow for big labs that want to sell $$$$$ treatment instead ... Poor them ...
