Nobody reads. The graph left out the dead and icu

Go away.

Welp... that's it... lets give up on it.

That might just be the most coherent statement you've ever typed.

Paragraphs / spacing would be nice

Is it helping anyone?
Yes...therefore it is great because there are no other options
Other options are still being worked on & tested

It’s like you’re mad that it helped a few people

I've seen this exact text posted a few days ago.

If this is the worst example available that is a good sign.

How old were they?

The big hurdle is ICU space and overcrowding of hospitals in general. If the drug can keep relatively healthy/younger people with a bit of underlying conditions from getting so sick they’re taking up bed space, it’s a win, right?

It doesn’t necessarily have to be saving everyone’s(especially very old people’s) lives.

The results of the hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin study look great because the researchers excluded the dead and hospitalized whom the drug didn't work on.

"Six hydroxychloroquine-treated patients
were lost in follow-up during the survey because of early cessation of treatment. Reasons are
as follows: three patients were transferred to intensive care unit, including one transferred on
day2 post-inclusion who was PCR-positive on day1, one transferred on day3 post-inclusion
who was PCR-positive on days1-2 and one transferred on day4 post-inclusion who was PCR-
positive on day1 and day3; one patient died on day3 post inclusion and was PCR-negative on
day2; one patient decided to leave the hospital on day3 post-inclusion and was PCR-negative
on days1-2; finally, one patient stopped the treatment on day3 post-inclusion because of nausea
and was PCR-positive on days1-2-3."

You can't scientifically say the drug didn't work because they were transferred and stopped taking the drug. If their treatment continued they may have gotten better. It takes up to 5 or 6 days for it to completely work. So at best these folks get an "incomplete", which they did in the study.

But continue to be a dumbass.

more like DUH amirite?

The Chinese tested hundreds of drugs against this virus and end of February settled on this drug.

South Korea had been using this drug for treatment.

I'm sorta unsure when there best time for in the course of illness is. Whether it is early before you have difficulty breathing it should you wait to see if you start getting there and then take it. I'm not sure if the dose either. And yes, I'm not 100 percent sure if it works.

But my suspicions are yes it likely helps. So if normally 20 percent of patients need to be hospitalized and like 8 percent need ICU level care, if we drop that number to 10 percent need to be hospitalized and 4 percent need ICU care, that in numbers is a huge deal. Also if necessary time if hospitalization decreases from 8 days to five days, that is a huge deal.

In percent done people would save well it only keeps 10 percent from having to go to hospital. But you have halved the number that goes. Similar thing when it comes to number in the ICU.

Anyways if it does work like that that is a curve flattener. And recoveries speed up as well.

I'm not sure where this is going to go but I'm hoping it is something like that. It may seem like not a huge thing depending on how you look at it but it may be a massive change on how it effects healthcare.

Anyways, here's to hoping!
