It's globally used for lupus treatments as well as for Malaria prevention. Just in the US, we have 300,000 Lupus patients. Not one single one has contracted Coronavirus. In parts of Africa where Chloroquine for malaria prevention is given routinely like candy, they have virtually zero CV19 cases.
The reason they aren't admitting they already know it's a cure/treatment is because they don't have enough of it globally. We have 340 million people in the US alone, and the order was only for 28 million doses.... and we are having to fight for that little bit.
It's like the masks. Tell everybody they don't do anything, until we get our supply level back up. Look what happened with toilet paper. You think they'll really admit the Chloroquine & Azithromycin cocktail works while it's still in such short supply?

This may prove to be false.....but it sounds reasonable. You could be onto something here. No doubt you will be labeled a conspiracy theorists in three .... two....one

The one thing I'd say, you don't need a dose for every American. Just enough for those hospitalized which is what, 1% maybe of those who get it? Maybe less. So a percentage of Americans get it, % go to a hospital, we save it for them.

I think one issue about HCQ's use boils down to "what does this mean for the election?" That's the world we live in.
The crazy thing is Trump didn't invent HCQ. He didn't come up with the idea. It existed before Covid-19 said whats up.
If Obama had been first to talk about it before Trump, and it was called Obama Pills vs Trump Pills, and if that made you feel better about HCQ then your priorities are on an election and not the people of this country.
If Obama had mentioned it first, and if that would make you trust HCQ less, then you're in the same boat.

Agreed. I'm not saying anything shouldn't be tried if it's saving lives that otherwise might not survive. But to call it a one drug fits all "cure" for even mild symptoms is unproven. And prescribing it to literally anyone who wants it, like that guy Mesabah, is going to create a Nationwide shortage. Then even the sickest patients whose ONLY hope is trying it won't be able to get it. All because it's being hoarded. He's no better than those guys in Tennessee and bought up all the hand sanitizer and other supplies within a 500 mile radius.
The hilarity in these posts are guys saying it doesn't work at all, then the next post, it's the only hope people have.
If we want to save lives, Trump needs to suspend the election till this crisis is over.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I got it way before Trump mentioned it. Also, my cousin takes it for arthritis, and they have already restricted her supply, so it's likely I give it to her.

“The question here is whether tens of thousands of Wisconsin citizens can vote safely in the midst of a pandemic. With the majority’s stay in place, that will not be possible. Either they will have to brave the polls, endangering their own and others’ safety. Or they will lose their right to vote, through no fault of their own.”

And suspending the election? Why not just make Trump the King?
