Reply to A randomized double-blind controlled trial found post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was not advantageous for the prevention of COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals with high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The incidence of COVID-19 was similar in both the HCQ group and control. by glawgii
Why are they still doing these studies? HCQ doesn't work. Can we move on?

Reply to comment by JorgeXMcKie in Physical activity before COVID-19 infection is associated with less severe outcomes. In a study of 194,191 adults with COVID-19, those who were consistently inactive were 191% more likely to be hospitalized and 391% more likely to die than those who were consistently active. by glawgii
There's lots of ways to exercise without walking! Is swimming an option? Or go to the gym and use a handcycle erg and weight machines.

Yes, it would, and there already are some, but at this point there are so many negative results that this seems like a waste of resources. A randomly chosen drug would be more promising -- at least it wouldn't have a bunch of evidence against it.
