Talk Evidence · Talk Evidence covid-19 update - Confused symptoms, fatality rate uncertainty, Iceland’s testing · 27 Mar 2020 podcast

We could do something really neat if we get you the right data and get that out quick.

And I'm going to say you heard it first, folks, on talk evidence, because I think that would really help a nice image that goes, look, here we go.

And adults and children is quite helpful because they are different in some some of the symptoms.

But beyond symptoms... You're ever the diplomat, Duncan.

I thought the Donald Trump issue was very interesting because he went on TV and said there are very promising drugs and we've got azithromycin and chloroquine and everything's going to be solved.

And I thought this is a triumph of...

not just opinion, it's political opinion over evidence-based medicine.

And to be honest with you, it was incredibly unhelpful.

If he'd have gone up and said, look, we are seeing a significant number of clinical trials on the international trials registry platform.

There's over 500 trials registered there now.

in excess of 100 drug trials.

We think this is a huge success and we await the results.

You might have gone, that's really helpful.

But in particularly picking out certain drugs, what he's done is highlight that to the members of the public who have gone buying these drugs and stockpiling them.

And we're aware of an individual in America who's been taking one of these drugs, chloroquine, and it has serious adverse effects in that it prolongs your QT interval and it can kill you.

And that's exactly what's happened.

So on one hand, political opinion is really problematic here.

You're right, though, is to say about this trial to see it out so quick is amazing.

But also there are some issues that I have a big problem with now.

In the last SARS outbreak, we didn't we learned that we didn't learn anything because we weren't ready.
