Here's a metastudy, which is somewhat negative on the drug,

Some doctor on television this morning was speculating that maybe HCQ helps people who aren't severe cases, but hurts when someone gets to the point that he's on an incubator or in the ICU. He said most of the data is from people who were more severe cases.
Everybody seems to agree that randomized, controlled studies are needed to really know. Originally Posted by Tiny

I am unsure that we need to waste the time, money, resources, and patient care on OHCQ.This is probably going to sound nuts because several of us had a huge argument about whether people should be taking HCQ to try to keep from getting Covid-19, and I was saying no. But I could see doing randomized trials with HCQ among people who have Covid-19 but who aren't hospitalized or who haven't made it to the ICU yet. Remdesivir and dexamethasone have been shown to work for people with severe symptoms, while HCQ has not. However, for people who are still at home, there's not much to treat them with. It could be worth a shot to see if HCQ works. If you're not right about us getting to herd immunity rapidly, and if there's no vaccine or people aren't willing to get vaccinated, then this is going to be with us for quite a while. And like AIDS, it would be very helpful to have drugs that would treat the disease in people when they first show symptoms and test positive, instead of waiting until they're in intensive care. Not only would you increase the survival rate, but the disease wouldn't spread as quickly.
I think better to look at anti-virals like remdesivir and related drugs, and possibly kinases looking to disrupt viral attachment mechanism to cells.
By the time studies as that could be completed - we may either have a vaccine - or reached herd immunity in the world population. Originally Posted by oeb11
