Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-viral drug (among other things) with little to no substantive evidence to suggest it does anything to treat COVID-19 other than hearsay and sketchy studies. I took the logical leap for you, that if the concern is whether a drug is worth trying, and actual substantive evidence really isn't much of a concern (it apparently isn't with hydroxychloroquine), then might as well try out a bunch of anti-viral drugs because they have about as much evidence of efficacy of treating COVID-19 as any other anti-viral drug. There is nothing whatsoever logical about that leap. I never said “actual substantive evidence isn’t really much of a concern”. I never said anything of the kind. Please refrain from putting words in other people’s mouths. Edited April 18, 2020 by skevinp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some local distilleries started making hand sanitizer instead of booze and putting it in the bottles they use for their booze. Faber distillery makes rum and flavored vodka which is clear. So on the label of clear hand sanitizer they put “NOT FOR DRINKING “. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkably enough that's exactly what hospitals worldwide are doing! Many drugs (including C18H26ClN3O) are being tried based on little to no substantive evidence they're effective on C-19. When you have a pandemic, rules are loosened and the medical community bypasses all the normal processes for drug testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
