Worldwide, immunosupressive anti-malarial drugs called chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine sales are booming. Some consider it an effective drug for fighting the coronavirus. However, the side effects of this drug are so severe and widely recognized, that even CDC leaders are questioning if this drug should even be considered for treating SARS-Cov-2. In one study, U.S. veterans suffering from the coronavirus placed on ventilators, were divided into roughly three categories. Group A, composed of 97 patients, received hydroxychloroquine by itself. Group B, composed of 113 patients, received hydroxychloroquine with the antibiotic, Azithromycin. And group C, composed of 158 patients, received

According to a new study, Around 88% of patients with COVID-19 who were put on ventilators in New York hospitals died. In this new JAMA study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers analyzed data from 5,700 patients who were hospitalized from March 1 to April 4 through Northwell Health, the largest health system in New York. Of those patients, 2,634 were discharged or had died by the end of the study, and 320 patients with a recorded outcome were put on ventilators. Nearly 9 in 10 of those ventilated patients died. Around 76% of ventilated patients between the ages of 18 and 65 died, and 97%, of ventilated patients over the age of 65 died, according to the
