Chloroquine results in higher death rates

I'm not going to look up any other country, but the Dutch numbers in that link are accurate, as reported (and updated often) by the Dutch government.

There are also several preliminary figures looking into confirmed cases and their underlying medical conditions, distribution of deaths gouped by sex and by age, infections among healthcare staff and among institutionalised people. All in Dutch, I'm afraid*, so I'm not sure what the value in sharing would be.

Dutch hospitals, however, are not overwhelmed.
If necessary, patients from the most heavily affected areas are relocated to and quarantined in areas which do still have the necessary hospital capacity.

 

*Essential text and applicable measures are available in English (https://www.rivm.nl/en) and maybe a few other languages for those who do not speak Dutch well enough.

Maybe try google translate?

Judging by his 'handle" he doesn't need help translating Dutch. It means "Brick" in Dutch.

I was thinking he could try google translate, then look it over for any glaring errors, and post that . . .

But I do see how that wasn't obvious, or even spelled out at all, really.

Don't worry, I got it :)

https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus-covid-19/grafieken can be translated by your webbrowser. Google translate does do a reasonable job at first glance. I was trying just now to post the entire contents but it got a little confusing, so you might want to try scrolling and copy/pasting bit by bit.

The only document which is not easily translated is the pdf at the bottom.

If I am really bored during the weekend, I'll see if I can make a translation of the document if people are really interested.

Has there been any update to it?

And now the results of a randomized, placebo controlled double-blind trial:

Hydroxychloroquine did not prevent healthy people exposed to covid-19 from getting the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to a study being published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
