Thanks Ray, it's really interesting to see this.
For those who want to know more, another website that seems to present things
very clearly (and without any discernible political spin!) is this one from UK

I've attached the UK Clinical Pharmacy Association's summary of some key
research trials for a treatment to COVID-19 infection - you may have heard of
some of these drugs on the news (eg chloroquine) but not be aware of its status
as regards being used in this novel way.
Social media in particular can get quite heated about one therapy or another
that has limited evidence behind it but is massively popularised - that's not
to say it may not turn out to have a place, but rushing ahead of the data is
harmful not in just giving false hope, but in causing shortages of certain
drugs for whom they were designed and required right now.
If anyone has any questions on this document don't hesitate to contact me,
best wishes all,
