There are anecdotal evidences of hydroxychloroquine saving patients lives. I shared this case yesterday. I think more will come out as patients recover.
Coronavirus Update: NYC COVID-19 Survivor Says Drug Hydroxychloroquine Helped Save His Life

Cannizzaro was in the ICU for 17 days. His lungs were filled with fluid so he could not breathe. On Thursday he took the drug and by Sunday he almost felt like his old self. Yes, some could say that's a coincidence, but the probability is very small that the drug has no effect in saving his life, in my opinion.
FDA's approval for emergency use is also based on anecdotal cases of critically ill patients. If the cases are mild patients who stay at home, there's no need to approve it for emergency use, in my opinion.

Again, larger controlled trials are needed to prove its efficacy and whether benefit outweighs risk.

Based upon limited in-vitro and anecdotal clinical data in case series, chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate are currently recommended for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in several countries, and a number of national guidelines report incorporating recommendations regarding use of chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the setting of COVID-19.
