… “there is almost a 100% chance that a person will be noninfectious in four to six days, which could lead to shortening isolation”

… five patients were referred to hospitals, with four of them being in the placebo arm

… continued with the ivermectin treatment and was sent back to the hotel a day later in good condition

… Oxford University announced a large trial on ivermectin effectiveness
