"Current testing turnaround in my state (if you’re not a VIP) is over a week. HCQ treatment relies on early access. That’s not happening right now."

Is there proof that HCQ is being denied for patients that want to take it and have a doctor willing to prescribe it?

Who is keeping this drug from those who need it? These people, who ever they are need to be arrested and prosecuted. Who is limiting access? Find them, arrest them. Enough of these lies. Those that are playing politics with this disease are literally killing people and need to be held accountable.

Doctors, oddly enough, want proof you have a disease before they give you a prescription for treating it.

They have an aversion to being sued.

And insurance companies have an aversion to paying for unnecessary medical procedures.

The limitations come from test access and simply waiting too long for a result.

Right now, in my state, it’s difficult to get a test if you’re not already symptomatic. At that point you’ve already lost a couple days of HCQ being effective.

It’s like this all over the south right now. At least a week to wait for results, sometimes closer to two weeks.

By that time you’re either over it or on O2 in a hospital.

Until this gets like the flu...go to MD, get swabbed, get result in less than 30 minutes, get scrip, fill scrip, go home...HCQ discussions are essentially meaningless theory for those of us in hot spots.

And in this red state, I’ve heard of no one that will give a scrip for HCQ. We’ve asked around to every medico we know too.

Docs DO tell positives to take pepcid and zyrtec though.
