Yes
“even though it is working throughout the country ”
I haven’t found it to be working. That said I see the sickest of patients so I have a biased sample. the doctor in KJ is seeing the healthiest of patients (he is outpatient) so he too has a biased sample.
there are currently > 300,000 postive cases of Coronavirus in the US. There isnt enough HCQ for all of them. not to mention I took take care of pt with Lupus where we know it does help.
That said for a sick pateitn the benefit (possible survivial) outweighs the risk so might as well give it. For healthy patients, the vast majority, the benefit doesnt outweigh the risk. For more moderate patients is questionable, I’d err on the side of giving.
