But that does not matter for persons with TDS, as ORANGE MAN can't be right about anything. Also, idiot journalists who were wrong will never correct their lies.
See also references of the paper, many studies about HCQ. None of this will be reported in MSM. So, who is anti-science these days?

S.H. Lee, H. Son and K.R. Peck, Can post-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19 be considered as an outbreak response strategy in long-term care hospitals? International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents

Highlights

In the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, management of exposure events is a concern.
There was a large COVID-19 exposure event at a long-term care hospital in Korea.
Post-exposure prophylaxis using hydroxychloroquine was provided to 211 individuals.
Disease development was successfully prevented without severe adverse events.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of hydroxychloroquine therapy alone and in combination with azithromycin in hospitalized patients positive for COVID-19.
Design
Multi-center retrospective observational study
Setting
The Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) in Southeast Michigan: large six hospital integrated health system; the largest of hospitals is an 802-bed quaternary academic teaching hospital in urban Detroit, Michigan.
Participants
Consecutive patients hospitalized with a COVID-related admission in the health system from March 10,2020 to May 2,2020 were included. Only the first admission was included for patients with multiple admissions. All patients evaluated were 18 years of age and older and were treated as inpatients for at least 48 hours unless expired within 24 hours.
Exposure
Receipt of hydroxychloroquine alone, hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin, azithromycin alone, or neither.
Main Outcome
The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
Results
Of 2,541 patients, with a median total hospitalization time of 6 days (IQR: 4-10 days), median age was 64 years (IQR:53-76 years), 51% male, 56% African American, with median time to follow-up of 28.5 days (IQR:3-53). Overall in-hospital mortality was 18.1% (95% CI:16.6%-19.7%); by treatment: hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin, 157/783 (20.1% [95% CI: 17.3%-23.0%]), hydroxychloroquine alone, 162/1202 (13.5% [95% CI: 11.6%-15.5%]), azithromycin alone, 33/147 (22.4% [95% CI: 16.0%-30.1%]), and neither drug, 108/409 (26.4% [95% CI: 22.2%-31.0%])​. Primary cause of mortality was respiratory failure (88%); no patient had documented torsades de pointes. From Cox regression modeling, predictors of mortality were age>65 years (HR:2.6 [95% CI:1.9-3.3]), white race (HR:1.7 [95% CI:1.4-2.1]), CKD (HR:1.7 [95%CI:1.4-2.1]), reduced O2 saturation level on admission (HR:1.5 [95%CI:1.1-2.1]), and ventilator use during admission (HR: 2.2 [95%CI:1.4-3.3]). Hydroxychloroquine provided a 66% hazard ratio reduction, and hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin 71% compared to neither treatment (p < 0.001).
Conclusions and Relevance
In this multi-hospital assessment, when controlling for COVID-19 risk factors, treatment with hydroxychloroquine alone and in combination with azithromycin was associated with reduction in COVID-19 associated mortality. Prospective trials are needed to examine this impact.

Patnetters who were screaming ORANGEMAN WRONG ABOUT HCQ should re-examine their thinking - not everything ORANGE MAN says is wrong. Wait for FACTS before making CONCLUSIONS.

I've been talking about the South Korean study for ages.

My stupid Masshole friends can't believe it, even today.

Asian century indeed. Boy, our leadership is bad -- and not Trump, who did his best to publicize the drug -- but the Fauci's and industry-connected, scientifically-incompetent CDC bots. What a mess, and so preventable. South Korea, through widespread testing, selective quarantine, mask wearing, and HCQ usage, has kept their total deaths to 282, in a population of 50 million. They've kept restaurants and businesses open this whole time.

There's no excuse for what happened in the US. Our incompetent leadership and criminally mendacious media would be sacked in any fair accounting.

Meanwhile we've got a stalled economy, hectoring smarmy mommies, the highest death count in the world (yes, with perhaps 25% overage), and no real end in sight. And we still ban or make near-impossible to find the drug that worked in East Asia. What a joke.
