Based on anecdotal reports from


across the U.S. and Europe. Harvard Health reported the following..."Another small study was conducted by a group of scientists in southern France, a region hard hit by COVID-19. This, also, was not a randomized trial. Instead, the scientists compared 26 patients who received hydroxychloroquine to 16 who did not: after six days, the virus was gone from the body in 70% of those given the treatment, compared to only 12.5% of those who weren't."

Again,when dealing with life and death situations,you don`t want to wait for large,double blind studies that take many months to complete. There is enough anecdotal evidence right now to support using the drug in seriously ill patients when the only option is...death.
