"Do we take the drug away from the people who have used and needed it for years?

For Lupus and RA users, doing without a couple of weeks dose isn't likely to be terminal....for someone in a hospital with COV it quite likely is....the answer, IMO, is YES.

"The supply is very limited. What is the solution?"

We have no idea what the total supply in the US is, as we don't know how much the DOD has in stock...which now, thanks to Trump, can be released for civilian use due to his activation of emergency powers.

But the premise here is that COVID is really all that dangerous!

Malaria is highly dangerous. So are many other acute disease, but this one isn’t proven to be truly worthy of this panic. It is presumed so just because it is new...which is wise at first, but isn’t really looking that bad outside Italy. But then, not only does Italy have more risk factors, were also hearing they may be wildly-nilly assigning COVID as cause of death for anyone who happens to die having been infected.

If this disease is not much worse than the average virus, do we want to risk people with life-altering if not deadly chronic diseases?
