Brazil has become a big open air experiment on the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin and/or Ivermectin, separately and together. Those specific drugs don't seem to help that much, if at all. On the other hand, they may have severe side effects. (Dexamethasone do work in critically ill patients though) It's a tough call. I really want to support science and probably some combination of drugs in the above studies work. It's just hard to know which ones.

Here are some promising results from a well designed and recently completed RCT evaluating Ivermectin in combination with doxycycline [1].
