According to my rheumatologist, the hydroxychloroquine won’t keep me from getting Covid-19, but will tend to keep me from getting a severe case.

That people with RA and lupus weren't getting sick was what clued Chinese Doctors into looking at HOCQ.

And the fact that RA and lupus patients improved when they were treated for malaria is what clued doctors into using it for RA and lupus.

I used to joke about not being at risk for malaria here in Los Angeles because of being on Plaquenil, but now I’m just happy that I have one fewer thing to worry too much about. With all of my “co-morbidities”, I’m just hoping to stay off the DNR list. :-)

actually, Plaqunil was studied and thought to be very helpful in the Sars yrs.....they’ve known about this drug..
