According to this analysis by Josh Farkas associate professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Vermont, on the Chinese study,

https://emcrit.org/pulmcrit/hydroxychloroquine-fail/

It says:

The study has major limitations, for example:

* Lack of blinding or placebo control.

* Performance of the study by a contract research organization, rather than directly by the investigators.

* Early termination due to recruitment problems and the impression of benefit (which may have led to under-powering).

* Relatively long delay between symptom onset and treatment initiation (16-17 days).

The last limitation is the one that kills the result of the study.

The length of time before medication smelled fishy. Thanks for the evaluation.
