My daughter is in the HC industry. She’s not on such a protocol but other HCPs ARE on a protocol to prevent the manifestation of symptopms.
I’ll ask what they are doing. We have a firefighter running our Troop now. He mentioned some first responders are on it too.
So, if you get it, it doesn’t flare. You may get still get it.
Put it into perspective. HCQ is malaria pills. If you were posted to a foreign assigment where malaria was a problem, you’d take it daily like a vitamin. Zinc IS a vitamin.

Yes, but just because you don’t display symptoms does not mean you are NOT infected. In fact, being infected and not symptomatic is DANGEROUS, especially for healthcare workers. They could still be feeling good, but they could INFECT the vulnerable around them.

And back to the question -— how many percent of those who take HCQ against Malaria still get Malaria nonetheless? Or is it 100% protective?
The answer to the above question is important because the study in this article tells us that only 7% of those who take HCQ were infected with Covid-19, meaning 93% of the others were not.
Now if Malaria is similarly 93% protective, then I would say that this study implies that HCQ is just as good for Covid-19 as it is for Malaria. But I don;t really know the Malaria figure.
