A similar decision was made for HIV combination drug lopinavir/ritonavir which produced a similar lack of results. President Trump has repeatedly praised hydroxychloroquine and in May claimed he was personally taking the drug.

In a statement about its trials the WHO said: “These interim trial results show that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalised COVID-19 patients when compared to standard of care.

When in doubt, go back to the Blau and Holmes report given at the International Nidovirus Conference in Philadelphia, summer, 2000. In it, the authors show the time-window of efficacy for chloroquine against coronaviruses @ 8-10 hours post infection. After that, the lysosomotropic pH effect weakens and it's Russian Roulette.
