Don’t worry much about HCQ not being available.
The reason why HCQ works is because it is a zinc ionophore - it lets zinc into the cells, and the zinc stops the virus (and malaria, and lots of other viruses) from replicating. That’s why it is important to take it as soon as symptoms appear - you stop it dead in its tracks before it can do its true damage, which is setting off a cytokine storm in your body (where your immune system kicks into such overdrive to kill the virus that it kills YOU).

There are other zinc ionophores - with quercetin being one of the best known, highest quality (for a natural substance) and best studied. It is about 1/3 as effective as a zinc ionophore as HCQ is, meaning that you probably need to take your zinc with about 1200 mg of quercetin to equal having the 400 mg dose of HCQ that is usually taken on days 2-5 of the treatment (Day 1 has double that). But this is only if you have China virus symptoms. Note that it is safe in doses as high as 10,000 mg/day. It is found naturally in onions, apples and capers, but not in huge quantities - you need to use supplements.

I take a mixture every other day from Life Extension Foundation that has 1000 mg of C with 15 mg of highly bioavailable quercetin (equivalent to 250 mg of what you usually buy in the stores), plus 50 mg of zinc. I wear a mask when in stores and wash my hands, and thus I’m not worried much about exposure - so this preventative dose is IMHO sufficient for me, since if I was infected, this mixture would go after it from the first moment, not starting a few days later when symptoms presented.
