The evidence regarding hydroxychloroquine is not inconclusive. It is in fact very conclusive as it has been clearly demonstrated to be ineffective in the treatment of COVID-19.

Their letter raises interesting points but then loses all credibility with claims that wearing masks leads to âOxygen deficiency (headache, nausea, fatigue, loss of concentration) occurs fairly quickly, an effect similar to altitude sickness.â Which is utter bollox & I say this as someone who wears a mask all day long at work.
There are valid points to be made about the overreaction of governments & the cure being worse than the disease for an illness that is dangerous to only a very small proportion of the population. Unfortunately that side of the discussion is not heard when the argument is hijacked by nut jobs like David Icke & these Belgian doctors lose all credibility by quoting such tosh.
I did say âas far as I have readâ, so I guess I didnât get to the conclusive study.
It was very widely publicised in the press & other media back in June but as you obviously missed it here is a link No clinical benefit from use of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 | University of Oxford
Do you read every single press report published every day? I donât, which is why I qualified my statement to be sure I wasnât writing a misleading comment.

There is talk of further restrictions from Monday
Any additional restrictions should be local to the âhotspotsâ not countrywide.
That doesnât seem to be working all that well in the UK
Eventually everywhere will be a hot spot ( UK) I f you live in an area with restrictions but just down the road isnât,of course some people will go there, if they are an asymptomatic carrier C19 goes with them I think there should be more enforcement
Bring out the troops and shoot people on sight or require them to wear a «cow bell» perhaps shouting «unclean! unclean!»

All joking apart,something needs to be done.

Seems that Dorisâ plan to close pubs in the North is set for failure in the HoC as Tory MPs seem set to rebelâŠ
That was probably one of the better ideas( pubs closing) I think some are putting money above lives
