Can we stop with HCQ?
TL-DR version: the initial in vitro (i.e. in lab cell culture) experiments that got people thinking that HCQ could stop SARS2 replication were done in the wrong kind of cells (a type of monkey kidney cell). Those cells are different from human cells in a way that happens to matter here. When those experiments are repeated in human lung cells, HCQ does not stop SARS2 replication, even in vitro. Just as it doesn’t do a thing in vivo (in living humans).
