Do you mean "containment" as in "halt/retard further development" or as in "halt/retard spread"? The former could be useful for high-risk individuals, the latter is probably only of mild interest (those that would be getting this are already in hospital containment, so it would be an attempt to increase health-care worker safety).
Assuming "the European study" and "the first French (severly flawed) study" are referring to the same thing, then that does indeed sound very broken: Recommending combination with azithromycin, and leaving it out themselves, leaves that recommendation without any value.

With less viruses in the body, the patient is supposed to fight it better and are much less contagious combined with early testing it would be helping in preventing/retarding the spread. I suppose high-risk individual would eventually get infected but with hospital less overloaded they would be treated better. No the European "big" study and the French very small study are not the same. But they are not testing the same thing and can't possibly get the same result. Again, I'm not endorsing the French study, but I also know that the French government and the famous doctor are not exactly of the same political color and there is petty political in-fighting going on ...
