RE: I’m fortunate enough to live in a country where I can buy hydroxichloroquine and ivermectin without prescription.
I’m pretty sure the country you are referring to is NOT the United States of America.
Yup. One of the great things here is that the only two types of medicines that require a prescription are opioids and antibiotics. Everything else, including most maintenance meds, are available just by walking into a pharmacy and asking for them. Saves me the cost of follow up trips to the doctor.
