I'm on hydroxychloroquine for a medical issue and have been for over a year and a half. I paid attention when it was 1st brought up early in this covid . I spoke with my primary...actually we've had the conversation twice. While I've not had covid yet I feel certain this medication is a good 1st line defense. I've seen documentation from many dr's across the nation who testify to this as a line of action for their patients. There are dr's in Texas who also are using an asthma medication quite successfully as well. I'd rather do something on the short term that holds promise rather than waiting it out and "maybe" living through a horrific hospital stay (ie respirator). Many are hoping for a miraculous vaccine to cure this virus. I don't hold my breath for that one. The flu hasn't yet been eradicated yet by a vaccine so why would something that's yet not well-tested be the panacea for a new virus? Just asking the question........
