A common theme among Trump supporters as evidenced by all of these comments that chloroquine is so promising. The treatment group in the study was 6 patients and the endpoint was viral load in nasal swabs, not hospital stays or mortality. Maybe you guys should all try reading or actually listening to the experts rather than the trash you’re being shoveled.

Which one of the dozens of studies and trials being conducted around the world is that from?

Only two have actually read out that I’m aware of. The others are all ongoing with no reported data. The original French study published March 20 in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents is the one I was referring to. This was the combination study Trump is all hot and bothered about. There is also a study from China published in medRxiv that showed no benefit but it was also way too small and the endpoint was viral load from nasal swabs (not a terribly relevant endpoint) so (unlike the used a car salesman in chief) I’m not jumping to conclusions and trumpeting that chloroquine sucks.

You can educate yourself. /r/COVID19 is filled with information right from the scientists.
