Hypothetically, what if people "cured" by this end up still being contagious and don't develop any sort of immunity? We'd all be celebrating how great the drug is, and a couple months later we'd be in an even worse spot.
I hope that's not the case, but there are reasons why there are processes for these things. |

Don't let 'em shout you down, Clay (but maybe stop calling it a wonder-drug for another week or two...) A clinically confirmed effective therapeutic treatment combined w/ robust testing protocols would truly flip this entire script. It would change everything, up to and including the need to seriously consider 'pre-emptive exposure' for low risk groups. I will say the potential for this thing to change EVERYTHING and yet the continued heightened reactions from healthcare and government leaders tells me that this isn't quite the panacea it's being made out to be. If initial results were that this think yields marginally better outcomes in 25% of cases, I'd understand a slow reaction to it. But these initial results are effectively saying "yeah, this will cut capacity issues by 75% and all but eliminate mortality apart from those who are exceptionally high risk..." and yet reactions are tepid at best. If something looks too good to be true... |

Is this not the same trial that has already been brought up. The one with bad methodology? Interesting read here https://forbetterscience.com/2020/03...from-covid-19/ |

It's sold out everywhere, what are you even talking about? Seriously. Call your local pharmacy and ask for plaquenil. they'll tell you it's out. people with existing prescriptions for lupus could die because hydroxychloroquine is the new toilet paper.
