“Lupus and RA patients take HCQ on a regular basis. I have not read any stories about them getting covid. Maybe others have.
There was a survey in northern Italy in May that looked at rheumatoid arthritis and lupus patients who were on HCQ maintenance. Out of the total of 65,000 people, 20 contracted COVID-19 and none died. I haven’t seen updates on this since May. But the COVID incidence in this group was 12x lower than in the general Italian population, and if you compared them with a similar age group it was an estimated 50x lower. And the death rate was zero. Seems pretty convincing to me.”
See my post upthread, it agrees with that study.
Took awhile but my CL (not HCL) phosphate finally arrived from overseas. Will study it carefully to understand how it should be taken, if needed.
