Re: "have you not read the over 100 patients that the French Epedemiologist treated successfully except one very old and advanced illness success rate with Hydroxychloroquin? How much higher a success rate do you want?"Yep. I've read it. I'm not impressed. The disease only kills a small percent of those it infects, so a TINY sample size like "100" isn't going to yield a meaningful result. Assuming they were typical patients, almost all were going to recover even without hydroxychloroquine. There's a decent chance that they all would have making the positive outcome purely coincidental.

When positive results exist from a sample of 10,000, I'll start to think that hydroxychloroquine probably helps.

Does this mean I'm opposed to hydroxychloroquine? Absolutely not. Bring it on. If it's as safe as they say, why not give it a whirl? I think that's President Trump's position as well. He seems less than convinced that it will help but sees little drawback to giving it a try.

As I've said, I think it would be incredibly lucky... UNBELIEVABLY lucky... if we just happen to already have a powerful drug to combat the virus strain AND it is virtually the first thing we try. It's more likely, imo, that the drug's efficacy has been exaggerated. Every travelling 'Miracle Cure' medicine show of the 1800s made the same claim, and desperate people are always inclined to [literally] buy into such things.

De

have you not read the over 100 patients that the French Epedemiologist treated successfully except one very old and advanced illness success rate with Hydroxychloroquin?

How much higher a success rate do you want?

There is NO drug in the world thathas 100 percent butthis result was very close to it and it is documented....

The data is avaialble.
