The kungflu is ray-ciss! See stats in chicago.
Don’t expect any empirical, Edisonian type advances from the physicians and scientists who nest at the FDA and CDC. They are not known for speed, daring or great insights. They are very cautious, contemplative, dogmatic people.
but true clinical trials keeps many people employed in fedgov and universities and people get grants too. Why do something for nearly free when you can get it for $15 million dollars worth bureaucracy and published papers?
Perhaps there is an underlying agenda? Were you aware that Gates held a 'modeling conference' last fall where an 'imaginary' corona virus caused a world-wide pandemic? Isn't it odd that there seems to be some modeling conference or simulation game when big issues strike the nation? Oh well, the globalist wouldn't 'sacrifice' hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives just to finally have their one-world new world order, would they?
Do not accept Gates's 'data dots' with his vaccine(s).
I strongly suggest you give this a read.
Exactly the way we finally proved that parachutes worked, when anecdotal data didn't suffice! </Dr.Fallacy>
A rational person might say that since some hospitals are trying HOCQ and others are refusing to allow its use, that the HOCQ deniers are the control group...
...maybe we could use Nevada, whose governor Sisolak has threaten doctors with license revocation should they dare prescribe chloroquines (While hoarding it himself!) as the control state?
In the U.S., the problem is HIPAA, protecting our privacy. A patient can release his data, but physicians cannot, without court interjection. Even race is affected, because someone who has very dark skin could have a majority of Asian genes who would claim Asian as their race, whereas an observer supplying the race would state Negro or Mediterranean.
“Data is enormously powerful and can answer questions unambiguously. If this data is being collected and is available, it could provide a partial answer NOW. If it isn’t available, why not?”
The answer should be patently-obvious in this forum.
Just for the sake of argument, even as a non-lawyer I could litigate & win a case in court that BAD DATA has been used to WORSEN this crisis.
So there you are.
In short - Yes.
Every medical school in the country...in the West,in fact...are doing exactly that.In the medical community this is seen as akin to Pearl Harbor.
