Seems like initial evaluations is showing that the malaria drug is ineffective.

Researchers compared more than 180 patients – some receiving hydroxychloroquine treatment and others who were not treated with the drug – and found their outcomes were almost identical.
“These results do not support the use of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalised for documented Sars-CoV-2-positive hypoxic pneumonia,” the authors said in a non-peer reviewed paper released by medRxiv.org on Tuesday.

Study of Trump-touted chloroquine for coronavirus stopped due to heart problems, deaths
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/study-of-trump-touted-chloroquine-for-coronavirus-stopped-due-to-heart-problems-deaths/ar-BB12Gs0e

A double-blind research study of a drug touted by President Donald Trump early on to treat coronavirus found it to be so dangerous at high doses the trial was shut down after six days.

The study on chloroquine, conducted in Brazil, found one-quarter of the patients taking the anti-malaria medication developed potentially deadly changes in the electrical system regulating their heartbeats. While a small and imperfect study, it highlights the compelling need for more rigorous data.

Doctors in the United States have seen such heart issues with chloroquine and a similar but less toxic drug, an anti-inflammatory called hydroxychloroquine. Some medical systems are no longer using either to treat COVID-19, even if they initially tried it. Others use them only with careful monitoring.

This specific study was a bad one.
Reasons:
- High levels of Chloroquine (very toxic form of diroxicloroquine)
- Only critical care pacients

So, very low chance of sucess.

On the other hand what Nise Yamaguchi and others (like Didier Raoult) advise is give hidroxicloroquine (less toxic) with azitromicine in the first five days.
This is still without technical reports in Brazil.

Need a lot of data to make those studies useful because the majority of people never develop severe symptoms even with no treatment. So it might be hydroxychloroquine helping it might not.

On a personal note my wife's test came back negative which made me very happy, until she told me that there was a 30% chance of false negatives with the test she took. :|

Also my niece the nurse practitioner just tested positive for it, my sister is freaking out. :(

If it wasn't COVID-19 then what would could have caused all those symptoms in your entire family?
