New trial of #hydroxychloroquine for #COVID from China. First thoughts:
1- It's a preprint on medRxiv - this means it has yet to be evaluated by the medical community and the information presented may be erroneous (read with a shaker of salt nearby)

medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 2- That said, the research protocol was approved by proper Ethics Cmte at Renmin Hospital in Wuhan, research procedures follow Declaration of Helsinki & registered in Chinese Clinical Trial registry #hydrochloroquine #Covid_19

3- Randomized, double-blinded trial (nice!)
