Below is a website designed to display all of the 50+ studies of HCQ as used in COVID treatment. As you will see, the vast number of results are positive and most of the negative results are of patients treated late in progression of the disease. Graphs too.
https://c19study.com/
Viruses exist only to reproduce and must obtain the building blocks to do that by attaching to body cells and sucking the nutrients out of the cells to do that. Zinc is a well-known inhibitor of virus attachment to body cells, but the zinc in a pill will Not be absorbed by itself, it must be facilitated by another substance/drug. That is where Hydroxychloroquine comes in...it puts zinc into cells in the lung where it can block the COVID virus from attaching. HCQ was used successfully in past pandemics such as the SARS outbreak and even lauded by Fauci then.
Because I cannot find a doctor here yet to prescribe the drug, I am taking an over-the-counter plant supplement, Quercetin that is said to serve the same zinc transportation job into cells, but at a lesser efficiency. It is a flavonoid derived from plants and has long been available over-the-counter for use against blood pressure, allergy and inflammation issues. It is a strong antioxidant. Some in the medical community support its efficacy, while others do not...so what else is new. No one says Quercetin has any bad side effects to be worried about. HCQ is said by some to have potential side effects for those, like Dave, with heart arythmias, although many doctors treating Lupus and Arthritis Using HCQ with thousands of patients dispute that. Zithromax unquestionably is contra-indicated for those with heart arythmias.
Quercetin/zinc—Cheap+no side effects+possible prophylaxis=NO BRAINER
HCQ is long out of patent and costs ~$.50/pill, while Remdesiver is covered by patent to Gilead and costs ~$4000 per treatment.
Quercetin is $0.11/pill @ Amazon.
Oh, and btw, many reports are out there that Quercetin cured people’s runny noses from seasonal allergies, and my wife is saying it has stopped her runny nose that she got nearly every time she went outside. Calls it a miracle w/o any COVID ramifications.

I don’t have any COVID health issue presently and take the only suspected prophylaxis I can get my hands on. I hope you guys that take zip stay safe, but you must realize that if the virus does not die out on its accord of herd immunity or a valid vaccine is invented everyone will contract the virus at some point, lockdown/distancing or no lockdown/distancing. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news the MSM won’t tell you. The mask/distancing/home bound routine is only designed to stretch out getting the disease in the meantime making everyone miserable and broke.
Those are the only choices I see in the equation now.
