COVID-19 Digest: Hydroxychloroquine Update (Recorded 4/3/20)

In our coverage of COVID-19 this week, we've investigated the shakey evidence for NSAID use making COVID worse, heard first-hand accounts from ED clinicians with COVID, and looked at the status of testing in the United States. Before capping our week of coverage off, we wanted to analyze some of the most recent literature on clinical interventions for COVID, particularly the recently FDA approved hydroxychloroquine.
