Everyone got the anti-virals, both treatment and control conditions. The point being that while chloroquine may be effective in some cases, it may not be better than our best "business-as-usual" treatment, which is still allowing thousands of people worldwide to die. This was a small sample, and I hope the results of larger trials will be encouraging, but my point is that everyone on this site is acting like hydrohlorine is going to be a miracle cure for COVID that completely fixes everything.
