If these friends wanted to do a useful experiment, they would have a control 
group.  It sounds like they all got lit.

If these 32 friends are mostly less than 60 years old, no deaths would be 
expected.
Or they could be some cohort that for whatever yet-to-be-quantified genetic, 
epigenetic, metabolic condition reason, or that they lack co-morbidities.

I do realize you are trolling, like Nick's alter ego, but IIRC you were someone 
posting about hydroxychloroquine.   There are many plausible drugs that could 
impact COVID-19, and some already taken by vulnerable populations.   
Hypertension drugs, like ACE inhibitors were at first thought be potentially 
dangerous, but then contrary evidence became available.   One might as well as 
suggest that COVID-19 symptoms be treated with coffee!   After all, it is a 
mild bronchodilator as well as a diuretic.     

The only way to have any confidence that treatments are safe and effective is 
systematic testing.

    Some friends I made in Amsterdam live in a commune — 30-32 of them. They 
had to go into quarantine six weeks ago with two members of the group testing 
positive for COVID. So they were pretty confident that they would all get the 
disease while in quarantine.

    Reading that the virus does best in cool moist environments they decided to 
take daily doses of MDMA — which raises body temperature and dehydrates.

    When the left quarantine last week, all of them tested positive for the 
antibodies but none of them had suffered symptoms beyond mild sniffles. 

    Proof positive that MDMA prevents COVID from getting past your nasal / 
mouth tissue where is causes minimal harm.

    Right?
