As far as I’m concerned, you can take whatever risks you want as long as doing so risks or affects only yourself. Where it gets dicey is when you risk or adversely affect others. Do they get a say?

Just a generic what if question here...

For the sake of argument, let’s say you were tested for COVID-19 and came back with a positive test but were asymptomatic.

Your doctor is concerned because the patient has some underlying health problems that could cause problems if the patients starts showing symptoms. The doctor starts you a prophylactic regime of Hydrochloroquine.

Does anyone have a ballpark guesstimate of how long you’d have to take it before your next test was negative?

No, I’m not the patient. But I got to thinking “If this drug has a prophylactic ability and it is given to medical staff, first responders, etc and then to groups such as those living in congregate care facilities, we are gonna need A LOT of this medicine”.

A minor detail over looked, or just outright ignored, by the flubros.

They have their rights you know. The heck with anyone else.
