I am all in favor of people doing studies. And I am encouraged by the word "trial" in his comment. It suggests something more vigorous than just giving everyone hydroxychloroquine. Hopefully they are going to collect data but I understand that can be a secondary issue. As I have written in other threads I hope this works, bigly.
Lots of Doctors are "doing it" right now and also taking the drug as a prophylactic themselves.
