WHO officials enroll first patients from Norway and Spain in 'historic' coronavirus drug trial

The first patients in a "historic" drug trial to test treatments for the coronavirus have been enrolled in Norway and Spain, World Health Organization officials announced Friday.

Now, if your argument is that WHO doctors are incompetent, I'm willing to listen. But there are several clinical trials going on to test the treatment President Trump thought was encouraging. So no, it's not just Trump who thinks it.

We didn’t think it was the miracle cure. Trump did.

Who is "We"? Lots of doctors agree with Trump. You think he's just making

Who are the doctors who agree with Trump? Show me the latest evidence.

They're running a trial. They don't "think it works."

LOL, that's the reason they're running a trial: Because it might work

What is wrong with this study? Seems it was very successful and one by a highly regarded infectious disease doctor.

Worse than the first study. There isn't a cohort that didn't receive treatment.

Yes so would I. What is there to lose? But I would be surprised if it worked.

Not miracle cure. Might help. Likely doesn’t hurt. Worth a shot and worth

Worth a shot in any symptomatic patient imo.. speculated to help more

We can hope. I think that there are very few places like NYC in the U.S.
