(From [the thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=893785) in the Quarantine Zone on hydroxychloroquine)

> - CONCLUSIONS:  
> In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19. An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone. **These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs.** \*
