I heard an allegation that ivermectin is being used in India to treat the coronavirus? Can someone explain that?

A few studies showed some (weak) evidence that it might help to treat COVID. Same with hydroxychloriquine. However, as far as I know, neither are actually being used in clinical setting, and there's basically no followup research or any sort of planned trial so I imagine they're seen as lost causes now.

If they want to use either drug to skirt big pharma, they're going to be real disappointed when they realize who makes them.
