Let us know when chloroquine is shown to have saved anybody. MOST people


with COVID19 get better with the currently standard care. 96% of 60-70 year olds and 92% of 70-80 year olds recover (from the Hopkins data). There was a doctor a day or two ago that said he had 20 patients and they all got better. Big deal even among 60-70 year olds there is a 50-50 chance that all 20 will get better using currently standard treatment. With a mix of patients everybody getting better is the expected result.

YES, by all means, let's do some kind of documented and controlled analysis, even if it does not meet FDA standards. Have an admitting doctor or hospital document the condition of a patient when he arrive and some demographic info age, gender, weight, preexisting conditions, etc. Give some people chloroquine, some chloroquine and zinc, etc. Track their progress. If it is a miraculous as Trump and some others claim then it will become apparent in a couple of weeks. You can't just say that you gave chloroquine to a bunch of patients and they got better so it must be the miracle drug that Trump claims.
