Here is an idiot. She thinks that because I point out that there's no good evidence that hydroxychloroquine is effective against #COVID19 it means I want no treatments and that because I warn that things are going to get worse it means I want more hospitalizations.

I read the fields notes then the lit. I checked doc creds. I compared risk profile for plaquenil vs actemra vs kineret. I don't think the drug should be used prophylactically. I think it should be tried when symptoms warrant hospitalization.

Again, hydroxychloroquine has not been shown to provide any clinical benefit. It just hasn't. Many institutions allow its compassionate use in some hospitalized patients, on the basis of in vitro studies that suggest the theoretical possibility of clinical benefit.
