Blog owner's notes:
* This is a well-executed interview with Dr. Adalja covering a wide range of questions related to the Covid-19 pandemic. A very informative discussion.
* Wonder what is Dr Adalja's opinion re the retraction of the scholarly article (published in Lancet) titled Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis.
