Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis: In summary, this multinational, observational, real-world study of patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalisation found that the use of a regimen con-taining hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine (with or without a macrolide) was associated with no evidence of benefit, but instead was associated with an increase in the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and a greater hazard for in-hospital death with COVID-19. These findings suggest that these drug regimens should not be used outside of clinical trials and urgent confirmation from randomised clinical trials is needed.

Lockdowns and Human Rights: A British Perspective: Human rights do not cease to exist during a crisis. Indeed it is on these occasions they become most important. The government had the right to act as it did based on the information available to it when the virus arrived in Britain. Since then the situation has changed, and the government’s policy must change accordingly. Every hour British citizens’ rights are curtailed is another affront to a proud tradition of balancing rights and protecting distinctly British values.
