Not sure what this means in practice.
What it means in practice, is that people will be demanding (and hording) a drug that has no *proven* efficacy in treating COVID-19, has some potentially lethal side effects when used off-label, and will prevent people who actually need it for their already-existing illnesses (such as lupus) from getting access to it due to reduced availability.
