GEOTUS mentioning Hydroxychloroquine!! Says it's looking good. Apparently trial is only 3 and a half days into the process in New York (so even more delayed than last Friday. Was supposed to start last Tuesday....). 1,500 patients in trial.

Don't be too down on the delay - tons and tons of doctors are prescribing this treatment and seeing positive results. Yes, the trial will give some great data that Trump can tout, but many patients are already benefiting in spite of the media and democrat governor resistance!

The survey from Sermo shows that only 23% of surveyed U.S. doctors are using it:

Hydroxychloroquine usage amongst COVID-19 treaters is 72% in Spain, 49% in Italy, 41% in Brazil, 39% in Mexico, 28% in France, 23% in the U.S., 17% in Germany, 16% in Canada, 13% in the UK and 7% in Japan

And coincidentally enough, 23% of U.S. doctors surveyed consider hydroxychloroquine the most effective therapy. So, in other words, every doctor that actually uses it now considers it the best therapy.

Hydroxychloroquine was overall chosen as the most effective therapy amongst COVID-19 treaters from a list of 15 options (37% of COVID-19 treaters) 75% in Spain, 53% Italy, 44% in China, 43% in Brazil, 29% in France, 23% in the U.S. and 13% in the U.K.

23% is not high enough! It should be 100% by now!!!
