A number of individuals on this forum are talking about using hydroxychloroquine as a preventative, however, and used like that the risks are far greater.

The biggest danger I see is the various states using it as a POST-preventative.

As in - you have to test positive for Covid or go into the hospital for Covid, meaning you'll have to wait, meaning you may become physically damaged while waiting.

Kind of your auto mechanic making you wait till there's engine damage before he'll let you have that $2 quart of oil.

Leave it to the state governments to set up a DMV-style approach to a problem that is time-sensitive. "Take a number and have a seat. We'll get to you right after lunch."

BTW - did you know that the Democrat Michigan state representative who was able to mitigate her Covid infection couldn't get the HCQ in Michigan?

Her husband (who was also infected, but hadn't got his test results back) had to drive to a neighboring state to get her The Good Stuff...

They need to give you the treatment regime when you present with symptoms.

I agree- the dangers of doing that POST-Preventative, and getting permanent lung damage because they waited too long, are far far greater than the —possible dangers— that ‘could happen’ by taking the drug as a PRE-Preventative

I completely agree with you.

"testing" before treatment is getting people killed. It used to be doctors where able to decide what to give based on observation. Now with this testing they have to wait for results before they can give what they already knew. Which means by the time you get the results you're very sick.

Government(red tape) is NOT the answer!
