    WHO results from the massive SOLIDARITY trial are out The findings are pretty bleak. No discernible benefit for hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, remdesivir, or interferon on any endpoint (death, ventilation, discharge) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.15.20209817v1 …pic.twitter.com/cXnX15rueK

        So, despite the hype, there is now strong evidence that neither remdesivir nor hydroxychloroquine have any benefit for hospitalized patients with COVID-19

        Moreover, there was no benefit found ~in any subgroup~. In this study, neither younger age nor more/less severe disease appeared to impact the drug workingpic.twitter.com/hWoYUljbo3

        Once again WHO trial badly designed/ trying out a potential antiviral at late stage when the effect, if any, would be early in the disease... when the objective is to try and reduce viral load

        It has been marketed and sold as a treatment in late stage disease, why would it be incorrect to test that?

        Yay - finally getting there. Only 2 cases overnight and no deaths. 14-day statewide average dropped to 9.3. Reff has also dropped. For those who said Melbourne couldn’t do it - you were wrong!

        No zinc was administered, the HCQ was given too late for any antiviral to have an effect and the they let in patients as young as 18 so of course most would show no benefit since they would be considered low risk.

        Zinc is nonsense and does nothing to any corona virus infection. HCQ does nothing when given prophylacticly or given early.
