” “We use it for our intubated patients for the most part.”
TOO LATE!
HALF (50%) of those people will die anyway.
Start treating people as soon as symptoms appear or they get a positive test result. (100% cure rate).

I looked at the study from Dr. Didier Raoult ( the first and second one he published, the second study with 80 patients ).
The advantage of hydroxychloroqine is its potential reduction in length of stay of Covid-19 positive patients who are not that severely ill, reducing the burden on the hospitals. THIS IS STILL SIGNIFICANT!
But I also want to see lives saved !
I hope it also helps in significant reduction in mortality (especially for the very ill, e.g. on ventilators ), but widespread usage still needs to prove that.
Now, if as you suggest, we are going to give this to every single Covid-19 positive person with symptoms, how many people would we need to give the drug to?
Whoa big shifter. one person on the internet claiming something does not equate to 100% cure rate. All potential treatments should be looked at and studied. We do not want to miss the best treatment chasing after something that one person claims on the internet when he was treating anyone with the sniffles
