Key Discussion and Conclusion Points from the Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine in Patients with COVID-19 Study

There is some research to support CQ's (and HCQ its derivative) use as an antiviral treatment for viruses that involve severe immune responses
CQ has been shown in one study to stop SARS-CoV-2 from replicating in vitro
There is data to suggest that HCQ can counteract the cytokine storm that can occur with COVID-19
More studies need to be conducted to more concretely determine HCQ's efficacy in fighting COVID-19 for the wider population
