The CDC says that this drug, if misused, can cause severe retinal damage.

So don’t be self medicating with this stuff.
It was successfully used to treat the SARs Conornavirus. There have been a few folks that have been interviewed that have been treated successfully for this virus. The medicine was used in Vietnam on our military members to combat malaria. Not trying to pick an argument with you, but no one was suggesting self-medication, only making a positive statement that some have found success using that medication. I believe they were treated by doctors.
If this medication does work well with this virus, it will save months or years of research and save lives NOW rather than later. I think that it's a good bit of news in a seriously bad time.
