A follow up to the original French study but this time with more patients... but also no control group. It will be interesting if New York's current study is following the same procedures. If so, there should be preliminary results by Sunday. If the results match up then there is no reason to not start removing restrictions as soon as our supply chain can handle possible demand for AZ and HCQ. For those spreading doom and gloom about hoarding and a lack of HCQ... the fact is, there is plenty out there, it is just a matter of getting in the right places. It should only take one z-pak (6 x 250mg tablets) and 20-30 200 mg HCQ to treat each patient. By next week we should have an additional 5-10 MILLION HCQ tablets available here in the US. That is enough to treat every known case we have.

Fingers crossed that we start to see substantial proof of its effectiveness early next week.

Just to be clear though, there are many (especially elderly with comorbidities) Covid-19 victims who are going to be too far along to help. A doctor in Italy pointed this out as a major problem for them, many of the people there who have died were on the way out regardless and Covid-19 was the enough to push them over the edge.

Would be amazing news.
