The researchers are planning a larger trial in their institution to validate their early findings. They summarize, “We have provided evidence of a beneficial effect of co-administration of hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 and its potential effectiveness in the early reduction of contagiousness. Given the urgent therapeutic need, and the negligible cost of both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, we believe that there is an urgent need to evaluate this strategy further.”

Two observations
- wonder why zinc not mentioned
- the glacial speed of medical studies while on a wartime footing
won’t do any goo-d a bogus study from china declared there was no benefit to HCQ- so that is all the msm care about reporting on-
Unless Bill Gates funds it and approves it, its anecdotal

I am becoming convinced that many severe cases would not become severe cases if patients did not put off seeking professional treatment, family doctors could always get a Wuhan Virus test quickly, and mitigating treatments like Hydroxychloroquine could be administered before the progression of the illness, that does not start out with damage to the respiratory system directly.
