#1 I'd add all the conservative "experts" minimizing the threat of Covid 19 to the list of tested for HCQ traces - might be very interesting.

#2 Between that and Dexamethasone, it seems we have a relatively effective general treatment that resolves a majority of cases quickly and favorably, and cheaply since all the medications involved are generic.

Put your timfoil hat on, but maybe thats why the pushback, in addition to the virulent Anti-Trump Disorder: Lots of pols are in the pay of major pharma companies, and they dont stand to make a dime off generic treatments. Its likely no THE reason, but certainly amongst the reasons for the dominant liberal media and leftist pols attacks on this treatment.

#3 we now know that the data used in the Lancet study of HCQ was hosed

#4 however there are 'HCQ is not effective' studies that seem legit

maybe there are enough differences between the various regional strains of the virus to account for this difference in results

#5 #4 Garth, clinical trials is not science. They're more like opinion polls. You formulate the "right" questions, you get the "right" conclusions.

#6 however there are 'HCQ is not effective' studies that seem legit

My takeaway is that the studies show HQC is not effective on its own against this thing lord garth, nor is it effective when the disease is severe or advanced. It is best in the early stages or as a prophylactic when given in combination with zinc and azithromycin or another antibiotic.

#8 Really, all one have to do is blow their nose before the test and the test (if accurate) will show negative.

The nose is a good filtering system and a nose test isn't going to show whether a person has the virus or not.

Blood test is more accurate, but then again, just how are they testing for specific tests?. AFDAICT, they have no idea how to test for COVID-19 specifically and not some other virus.
