2/ US vs International approach
Outside US: HCQ is used equally for mild to severe cases of COVID-19
In US: HCQ is most commonly used for high risk/severe cases
51% of US physicians believe most effective therapy is “nothing”
vs
4% in China, 16% in Italy/Spain, 29% in Europe

3/ Studies show anti-virals are MOST EFFECTIVE if administered as post-exposure prophylaxis or within first 48 hrs of symptoms (e.g. Tamiflu, Zanamivir, Peramivir, Zinc, Rimantadine, Amantadine).
I suspect HCQ in the treatment of COVID-19 is no different. Early treatment is key.
