What's this?

Can you link ANYTHING that is REMOTELY a study? That documents the

condition of arriving patients, gives a random sample of them chloroquine, the others not, and then documents the result?

Using the Hopkins data, there is a 96% chance that 60-70 year olds will recover. Take 20 patients of that age group and there is a 50% chance that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM recovers. Unless some doctor or hospital has some very good data there is no way to guess if chlorquine has any effect at all, or chlorquine with zinc, or with Z-Pack, or whatever.

By all means, let's do a study, even if it does not meet FDA standards. Let's have a couple of docs document the condition of incoming patients, split into demographic groups, give some chloroquine and some not. Let's document the results. If it is the miracle that trump thinks it is then the results will quickly be apparent. Until then let's keep it for the people we know it helps.
