Abstract

The author expresses disappointment over a paper published in the British medical journal "Lancet" which reported that hydroxychloroquine both was ineffective at treating the coronavirus and caused cardiac implications. He details some of the recent reports which investigated the use of some drugs in treating COVID-19 pandemic, such as dexamethasone and remdesivir. He also explains why ophthalmologists are very familiar with hydroxycholorquine.
