Default Clearly effective treatment regime?

"But the existence of a clearly effective treatment regime, thanks to the hydroxychloroquine/zinc combination, and social distancing measures that can be practiced by those in the workplace now make it possible for states to begin shifting from a shelter-in-place strategy to a quarantine-plus-treatment approach."

That boldfaced and colored text, from the original article (https://dbdailyupdate.com/index.php/...as-businesses/), should tell us everything we need to know about that source. There are a lot of studies just starting or currently in progress involving hydroxychloroquine, but they may all end up telling us that it does nothing, nada, zip. (Psssst: Those hopeful stories you've see on the news (i.e., the anecdotes)? They might all be...wait for it... coincidence. That's why they're now doing the larger scale, randomized, placebo-controlled, (ideally) double-blind studies. ) To pretend there's an effective "treatment" available will most assuredly have one effect: people will relax safety measures. Then we'll see the wisdom of Texas.
