[[physicians in 30 countries found that 37% of those treating COVID-19 patients rated hydroxychloroquine as the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.]]

Ok so what do the other 63% of doctors find to be more effective than Hydroxy?

[[I assume that means the US is using it most often AFTER the case becomes more severe.]]

Sounds to me like they use it only if a person is high risk, ie has several conditions, elderly, disabled etc- not that they are waiting till they are severely struggling-

Sounds to me like they use it only if a person is high risk, ie has several conditions, elderly, disabled etc- not that they are waiting till they are severely struggling-

I considered that as a possibility as well.

Ok so what do the other 63% of doctors find to be more effective than Hydroxy?

From the article:

Azithromycin, known by the brand name Zithromax or Z-Pak, was rated the second-most effective therapy at 32%, followed by “nothing,” analgesics (including acetaminophen), anti-HIV drugs, and cough medicine

So I'm gathering that 37% are rating HCQ, and 32% are rating Z-PAK (alone) which accounts for 69%. Then we don't get percentages for "Nothing", "aceta", "anti-hiv", and "cough medicine".

So I'm guessing "nothing" came in 3rd.
