“VA Study of Anti-Malarial Drug Shows No Benefit for Use with Coronavirus Patients
...
Researchers found that 28 percent of patients given hydroxychloroquine died, while 11 percent died with normal care. Hydroxychloroquine did not have an effect on patients’ need for breathing medicine. The anti-malarial drug has been known to produce serious side effects including problems with heart rhythms.

It’s only the VA, so who knows?

I have never inserted my head in this issue at all, but I happened to notice a tweet the other day saying that Trump had been oddly silent on HCQ the previous few days. Maybe he had a heads up.

On a completely unrelated note, I've got 200 kilos of fish-tank cleaner, going cheap, if anybody's interested.

Like I said, I never had an opinion on HQA (still don’t, there will be more studies).
But re the politics of it, I thought it was characteristically irresponsible of Trump to tout it as enthusiastically as he did, and I thought it was characteristically irresponsible of the media to assume that just because Trump said it it would turn out to be false.

I agree 99%
Initially the drug was the only hope so it might have been important way back when to offer the oxygen mask and life preserver.

I would ask for it, anyway.
I'd ask them to bring me the pills along with some eggs and toast.
Are eggs good for you now? When I was a kid, eggs were like, poison. Then, it was "eat egg whites only." Then, it was eggs are good for you.
Oh, and also a cup of coffee. Maybe a glass of wine, if it's in the evening.

My SIL was quite ill. A hop, skip and a jump from the vent, ill. They put her on the cocktail and she turned around. Not dramatically, but turned around. Yes, that's anecdotal, but until something is proven to work, I'd take it.

Trump didn't "tout" it. That's the rhetorical language of the memetic narrative that the Left keeps playing back, as if he were a snake oil salesman peddling a miracle cure. And then of course it had to be because he was making money from investments in a pharma company that makes HCQ. Go back to the original presser (March 17, I think) when it was first mentioned -- he listed several hopeful directions for a cure.
CQ/HCQ was also part of the S Korean recommendations from mid Feb.
This "touting" is all political BS.
