Hydroxychloroquine Probably Isn’t the Answer

Re:Hydroxychloroquine Probably Isn’t the Answer by Terretta on Sunday April 05, 2020 @02:53PM (#22787565)

Doctors and clinicians on front lines in NYC and greater NYC area say it's not helping at all, that they've by and large given up on using it.

So I could reply that right now I choose to believe these MDs and ARNPs on front lines rather than commenters on HN. But that's not helpful compared to research.

This one is a mess, and the tiny sampling of articles we have are not definitive.

// Disclaimer: Lived in Africa for a decade, took anti-malarials. These and others can be nasty for a lot of people, some folks have to hunt to find things that aren't worse than the occasional bout of malaria. In fact, while my family took them, I never found anything tolerable. Curiously, the rest of the family got malaria, I did not.

Cuomo just said he is confident about hidroxychloroquine as NYC may see a plateau soon

This is the confusing thing about hidroxychloroquine right now. Two people looking at the same data, one saying it’s helping and one saying it’s doing nothing.
