I never said that 1 pill does the job. It is either 10 or 12, depending upon which study you look at. But treatment of ALL of the presently infected will take no more than 1.5 million pills. Test like mad to find other infected and treat them (and more pills are being made every minute during this process). Combined with most of us staying home to limit further infection, we lick 98% of this thing in a month, and can treat the few cases that turn up afterwards at our leisure while significantly building our stocks of hydroxychloroquine, PPE and respirators.
Didn’t say you did, but others seem to be reacting like it would.
I suspect that as the tests ramp up, we’re going to find a *lot* more people needing treatment, plus if the prophylactic effect some report is correct we will need to use it on all our medical personnel, which would deplete the stockpile in short order. I’m not saying that we can’t deal with it, just pointing out to others that “ooh, we have 100 million pills donated” is just a beginning, not a full solution.
