Is it surprising at this stage?

In what will certainly be a publication which sparks heated debate, we observed no effect of early outpatient therapy with #hydroxychloroquine in reducing symptom severity or duration. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2… With thanks to @boulware_dr and the @UMNews team for letting us join

BREAKING GOOD NEWS ALERT: New Zealand has announced it no longer has any patients in hospital being treated for coronavirus. It comes on the fifth straight day where no new cases have been reported. This is what winning looks like. 🇳🇿

To get rid of the coronavirus, use any drug that has proven in-vitro activity and visualize being a Petri dish. Repeat "I am a Petri dish, ommmm" a hundred times. Your body will miraculously trigger the proper response, using theta waves from your brain. #thankmelater

A super useful new study led by @awyllie13 shows that saliva is a better diagnostic sample for #COVID19 testing than nasopharyngeal swabs. Switching to saliva solves problems of shortage of swabs, PPE, saves healthcare labor and gives better sensitivity and consistency 👍🏽

There is a pattern emerging here. We were slow into lockdown, slow on testing, slow on protective equipment and now are slow to take up these offers from British firms. #PMQs

Beautifully explained: the anti inflammatory effects of AZT

1/16 Why is azithromycin considered anti-inflammatory? Many of us have prescribed it as part of our acute COPD regimen, not just for its antimicrobial properties, but also for its anti-inflammatory properties. Let's explore macrolides, in all their mechanistic forms…



-1 for HCQ @raoult_didier qu'en pensez-vous?

Pre-print: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for #COVID19 infection in hospital; 84 had HCQ, 97 no HCQ No drug efficacy seen in this study Conclusions: "do not support the use of HCQ in patients hospitalised for documented SARS-CoV-2-positive hypoxic pneumonia." tinyurl.com/ucyps9l

@RoyalStatSoc put out this statement, Graeme. Suggest you retweet it. statslife.org.uk/features/4474-…

Conclusion: We need better, properly powered, randomised controlled trials of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. For now, except for supportive measures, infection with SARS-CoV-2 is “essentially untreatable.”

This is a great paper about CQ/HCQ and #COVID19, supporting the argument that we should not be dishing it out like Smarties for compassionate use (same goes for lots of 'promising' drugs). bmj.com/content/369/bm…
