No difference.

Treatment of COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine is standard therapy, it is not “compassionate use”.

Off-label use of drugs happens thousands of times a day, it is ordinary, there is nothing special about it at all.

Since when? Like 5 minutes ago? What does “standard therapy” mean when the national classification is “off label” and “compassionate use”? You are saying that because hospitals issue guidance to doctors, this trumps the FDA classification?

I’d love to know/believe why it would now be standard-use. I hope for that. But you are saying that doctors - individuals - have just decided as a group that its now standard? Because of the guidance from Belgium, South Korea, China?

Can off label prescriptions happen millions of times per day?

Because that is what will be required in 1+ month.
