in case anyone wants to get back on the hyxdrochloroquine bandwagon/train wreck:
"As the Henry Ford Health System became more experienced in treating patients with COVID-19, survival may have improved, regardless of the use of specific therapies," Dr. Todd Lee of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada, and colleagues wrote in a commentary in the same journal.
"Finally, concomitant steroid use in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine was more than double the non-treated group. This is relevant considering the recent RECOVERY trial that showed a mortality benefit with dexamethasone." The steroid dexamethasone can reduce inflammation in seriously ill patients.
...
Both the Detroit and New York studies were observational: they looked back at how patients did when doctors prescribed hydroxychloroquine.
While helpful, observational studies are not as valuable as controlled clinical trials. Considered the gold standard in medicine, patients in a clinical trial are randomly assigned to take either the drug or a placebo, which is a treatment that does nothing. Doctors then follow the patients to see how they fare.
Two clinical trials on hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19, one in the US and one in the UK, were stopped early because their data suggested hydroxychloroquine wasn't helpful.

Any advances on monoclonal antibody treatments being tested? It was my understanding that could be the game changer we need while we wait for the vaccine.

Nevada had a chance to be a success story too
Can not believe they reopened with no mask requirement out the gate

I’m surprised that people are still surprised. Planet fitness was packed on my way home from work yesterday. Wife made me make a store run. Signs on the door say masks are required. Went to the store for 3 items, was there for less than 15 minutes, saw at least a dozen people with no mask. It is what it is...

I go to the gym. I'd say it's about 50% from what it was before. Most of us don't have mask.
Most of us are in good shape and people don't understand the health and mental benefits from the gym unless you regularly go. [kanye shrug]
