What about the study clearly showing no benefit, but a higher death rate in the group that DID use hydroxychloroquine? See: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/21/heal

Seems to me the Remesedevir is the better option, and may be the first silver lining.
I've told my wife, if I can't make the choice do not let them put me on that chloroquine no matter what. Also no ventilation without sedation/paralytics (in case of shortage, I'd rather die than be vented and wide awake).
- lbeltrame 7y agoThe U of Minnesota trial[1] (they aim at recruiting 3000 people, currently 700-ish) will tell if there is any prophylactic effect or not when using hydroxychloroquine. As with remedesivir, the effect size is probably not very large (so no miracles) and thus a lot of patients are needed to determine if the effect is true or only random.
