From the last couple of days the hype over the Chloroquine (CQ) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment for #COVID19 has bothered me a lot. So I have decided to dig into the available & published data. What is the evidence right now for treating #COVID19 patients with CQ or HCQ?

Oh wow in real time in an effort to find something that works they didn't run a perfect double blind, randomized control trial with a sufficient sample size. The horror! Right now even anecdotal evidence is good enough for me

No one is complaining that this is a preliminary trial. We do pilot trials all the time. What is being criticized is that it is a BAD pilot trial whose authors didn't analyze the data correctly and leapt to publicize a conclusion not justified by the observations.

So what pilot trial is currently being done properly in the US for Covid 19?

There are at least three, based on a quick search of http://ClinicalTrials.gov .
