I got excited until I actually read up on the study. They didn't give the drug to anyone with cardiac issues. Well, when one half of your study has a hugely significant comorbidity like cardiac issues, and the other half doesn't, maybe it's not the drug that kept the fatality rate low. Maybe it's that they didn't have a friggin cardiac issue.

One of the most well known and cited contemporary scientists came out against lockdowns and called the models astronomicaly wrong- and he came under ceaseless attack. To be fair his initial predictions of the covid fatality numbers were too low.https://fee.org/articles/modelers-were-astronomically-wrong-in-covid-19-predictions-says-leading-epidemiologist-and-the-world-is-paying-the-price/https://undark.org/2020/06/11/john-ioannidis-politicization/
Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
5 of the bottom 8 states for total cases per 1mm are from the coldest states in the union. Can cold actually prevent the spread...as opposed to the initial thoughts that its the heat that would slow it down?
https://www.foxnews.com/world/brazilian-president-bolsonaro-tests-positive-for-coronavirusWho didn't see this coming? In completely unrelated news, Trump is coming to Doral, FL.
Remember Boris Johnson tested positive and was even hospitalized.
The point is Bolsonaro has been calling this fake news, while Boris Johnson took it seriously. As far as recovering, though, Johnson is 56, Bolsonaro is 65, and Trump is 74.
