None of the patient presenting mild symptoms needed to be hospitalized. Only one patient died
(0.59 % of all included patients vs. 2.1 % overall mortality for the disease in Argentina today; 3.1
% of hospitalized patients vs. 26.8 % mortality in published data). IDEA protocol appears to be a
useful alternative to prevent disease progression of COVID-19 when applied to mild cases and to
decrease mortality in patients at all stages of the disease with a favorable risk-benefit ratio.
Lou how do these guys know their preferred treatments are effective? Seems to me without some comparison that is unbiassed (= RCT) they cannot have much evidence? I mean, almost all (99%) of early COVID patients recover. That percentage changes by 10X (e.g. 0.3% to 3%) for a change in median age from 30 to 50 etc. many other effects change it too. I'm sure you know that mortality figures vary wildly according to how many people getting milder versions of the disease are counted, how many are treated in hospital (for the hospital mortality figures), etc.
Comparing local figures - esp when dealing with mild COVID cases - with national ones can mean just that you are treating more people - which you will by definition be doing if you are looking at early-stage cases.
it is such a shame that when there are possible effective treatments the guys doing this do not provide evidence they work.
