Default Which Doctors in the Area Will Prescribe HCQ and Z-Pack for Covid Patients?

I'm posting this question simply for the purpose of obtaining an answer to my question. I'm not trying to start any argument about the pros and cons of any particular treatment.

Neither I nor my wife have Covid-19, nor do we have any symptoms of Covid-19. I'm simply trying to obtain information in advance just in case we might be unfortunate enough to contract the virus.

It's my understanding that HCQ+ azithromycin + zinc is most effective when given within the first 5 to 7 days of the appearance of CV symptoms. The problem is (as I understand it) that most doctors today will simply tell a patient who shows CV symptoms and tests positive for CV to simply go home and wait and hope for the best.

That's not the type instructions I would want to receive from my doctor. If I were to test positive for CV, I would definitely want to start HCQ treatment right away since I'm in the camp that believes that the benefits of HCQ far outweigh the risk. However, finding a doctor (on short notice) who will prescribe the HCQ treatment might be difficult to do. That's why I'm asking if anyone here knows of such a doctor in the area so that I would know who to call just in case I might need a prescription for the HCQ.

So, does anyone know of a doctor in the area or region who will prescribe HCQ for Covid-19? Thanks.
