Don’t they know it’s not allowed to work?
Piers, would you please provide a link to the message from Luigi Sinigaglia that you posted in #14? I expect the original will be in Italian.
Please ignore my post #22. I found the quote.
There is no study of 65,000 patients on HCQ. The article is wrong.
"In the Register of the Italian Society of Rheumatology (CONTROL-19) 150 patients with rheumatological pathologies are included and of these 20 took hydroxychloroquine."
Luigi Sinigaglia - President of SIR
That's the subject of this WSJ piece:
I'd like to read it, but it's behind a paywall, and I have not found it posted elsewhere. Besides, the WSJ may be conservative on its editorial page, but its reporting is liberal.

Dr Zelenko talks about preventive use within this discussion.
Maybe lessen the impact so can still develop antibodies to the virus.
I wish he had done a lot more testing of his patients.
If hydroxychloroquine prevents the coronavirus from entering the cell through the ACE-2 receptor, that ends the virus’s life cycle.
Zinc with hydroxychloroquine causes a two-fold hit on the virus. HCQ prevents the virus from entering the cell where it hijacks the reproductive machinery. It also provides pathways into the cell for zinc. At high levels in the cell, zinc destroys the RNA dependent RNA polymeras, which stops the replication process.

Good summary. Many people who eat well, have enough zinc already but it is likely good practice to administer it anyway with the HCQ. Very cheap insurance, like HCQ itself.
The Zpack should only be given if a definite secondary infection has already set in. The HCQ + Zpack can increase risk of (usually non-lethal) cardiac events. Not so much HCQ byitself, with or without Zinc.
BTW, the Korean study above looks quite good!
The levels of zinc in the cell required to knock out the virus replication process are not high enough, even if you supplement zinc. However, HCQ opens up these pathways so that the zinc given in the treatment go directly into the cells where they raise havoc with the RNA dependent RNA Polyneras (spelling?).
On the positive, at least it's not just in America anymore...
