Perhaps too many recall chloroquine or Remdesivir or . . . or . . . from the early days of the pandemic to get all that jazzed about the next great thing being announced by press release. Personally, I take a jaundiced view when "scientists" make such announcements in advance of publishing even preliminary findings in peer reviewed journals. At least this Canadian study of colchicine seems to be the most rigorous (or at least the largest) of the colchicine studies; once the study is completed (they give March 2021 as completion date) maybe there will be time for celebration. There is literature out there about the potential for colchicine in Covid-19 treatment and it has been looked at since the beginning of the pandemic.
