yeah but on the flip side we’re seeing folks going in to some hospitals and being extremely sick, not getting tested, and denied the treatment because they haven’t been tested- just an ugly circle of red tape- thankfully this doc is just giving it to everyone that he suspects needs it- I personally think we have plenty of the drug available, and much more on it’s way-
If chloroquine is given out like candy, there is a risk that patients will take the medicine until they start to feel better and then stop taking it. That makes it more likely for a chloroquine immune mutation to survive. Remember the story of sulfa drugs? How do we ensure that at home patients take the entire prescription?
