I think the comments are somewhat telling about this paper and preprints as sources of medical decision making overall. Comment 1: "A subtler point is that the reported age profile of the treatment group is impossible. Group A is aged >60 years, and almost half of the treatment group was in that group. But the IQR was reported as 40-60, so only 25% of the treatment group had an age >60. I hope this was due to excessive rounding, or a similar error that can be corrected." Comment 2: 'I know nothing of this field but study seems well done' Comment 3: lauds the authors, makes no comments about the study, and rants about the pharmaceutical industry Authors include a hand surgeon and a family practitioner (Zelenko) who has been urging hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for a long time now, and was one of Trump's main sources[0].
