Trump-backed anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is the most effective coronavirus treatment currently available, finds international poll of 6,000 doctors
  • Majority of 6,200 doctors from 30 nations said malaria drug was most effective
  • Doctors across Europe, the US and China have been given licence to prescribe
  • But the UK is dragging its feet until clinical trials show it is safe and effective
  • World Health Organization claims that no medicine can prevent or cure virus

It is a treatment, a therapy. It is not a cure.

Just out of curiosity I wonder which other treatments HCQ was compared to and how effective is "most effective". I wonder if it's 30% more effective, 10% more effective, etc. I know this is a poll so I assume the reports are largely based on provider experience. Certainly HCQ is one of the most readily available medications (certainly moreso than Remdesivir, Tocilizumab), etc that are being used. At least where I am, though, none of these treatment (HCQ included) have led to a single extubation so far.
