With population size of 350mln and confidence 95% one would need a sample of 385 people.
That means whatever he did was very close to be statistically significant, say like five tosses of coin coming up heads in a row thats the chance that this combination of medicine just randomly was lucky. 35 more patients and its more than 6 coin tosses in a row practically impossible
I think the French study was pretty conclusive, despite the small sample, and I am eagerly awaiting the daily death numbers starting to decline... that being said, be careful with this guy. He said himself that he treated 350 people with symptoms similar to corona virus, and he did not wait for tests to start prescribing hydroxychloroquine. Given that only 1 in 10 people who have a test are actually diagnosed with coronavirus, doesn't it seem likely that he only treated ~35 people with coronavirus? And since the death rate is something like 1 in a 100, it hardly seems like his data point is relevant. Am I missing something here?
Hormone therapies for 2 yr olds is safe but malaria pills are dangerous bigot.
Media: shut it down. Too soon.
With sample of 350 one can get pretty nice confidence ranges do it

The media doesn’t want success stories. That’s the last thing they’d show us. They need a crisis/recession to make orange man look bad.
because noone gives a shit when you have a cold for 3 days
