costa rica has an extremely high success rate with hydroxy without zithromax i don’t know if they used zinc. someone needs to ask them. key is they started it early before person went to icu. They have been using it since march 18, 2020
660 cases 5 deaths of which 2 I believe before they started using it..(both mid 80’s)

Perhaps these people can tell us why India - pop. 1.4 Billion - has a covid death toll of 500 vs USA’s 40,000?

After being admitted

This is the problem, doctors aren't prescribing the hydroxychloroquine/zinc outpatient.

Ye gads is right ... unless the FDA is funding the Novartis study, why does any business need the Fed’s approval to do a study? If this study is initiated by Novartis all they have to do is follow a reasonable scientific protocol, check all the correct boxes, and publish their study parameters and the findings.

Tell the FDA to F.O.

I wouldn’t point to India as a paragon of reliable reporting.

They haven’t done enough tests to begin with. With that limitation, how will we know how many have died from CoVid-19?

Please give my best wishes to him for his total healing!

This is so cool.

Novartis has no stake in this. It’s a public domain generic.

Except I can see why they want to.

Show a public domain generic dime a dose drug is as good or better as the highly touted new drug of their competitor.

It’s also a public service.

It’s the sort of thing Fauci should have had set up and ready to go (sometimes called clinical trial in a box) if he had truly done his job over the last 36 years.

By itself Hydroxychloroquine isn't effective - are they setting it up for failure?

Possible, since Trump did not specify the full regimen, plus a pharmaceutical company would likely not want such a inexpensive drug to be what shows success.

Actually, Novartis is a major producer of Hydroxychloroquine.

It says in the article:

The announcement from Novartis follows the company’s move to pledge 130 million tablets of hydroxychloroquine to supply global clinical research efforts focused on the drug.

What's the point? By the time the 'experts' have checked their boxes and formed their opinion, the season will be over and thousands have died.

We're being poorly served by the government/big pharma/industrial complex.

My wife’s friend works at an Amazon warehouse locally. She was just diagnosed with the Wuhan flu. She has been prescribed the drug and sent home. At least in Northern Kentucky you can now get it as an outpatient.
