But if a mistake is made with hydroxychloroquine - you get double dosed - you die. Simple as that.

And please don't tell me that hospital staff/doctors don't make mistakes. We can head that one off at the pass right now!


Ok I understand what you are saying. By the looks of it the amount of medicine needed will be quite small in conjunction with a ZPack.

How it will be administered remains to be seen.

Its effectiveness also needs to be proven.

As an aside this medicine was evaluated on primate in 2004 with respect to COVID/SARS and was found to be effective, however human trials were not needed as SARS resolved through containment.
