Serious Q: What would be downside to set up a system allowing ppl in hotspot areas to have voluntary, preemptive, quick access to HCQ/Zpack combo?
Of course there are limited side effects, but it seems to be most effective known treatment. Earlier u start, better results are.

It seems that a lot of people end up starting dosage too late, which hurts their chances at recovery.
I know we are in early stages of studies, but hundreds of MDs swear by it in COVID treatment. Additionally, the stuff is dirt cheap and easy to churn out.

I mean, we locked down the entire nation. That too is a grand ongoing experiment. Why not try to maximize our resources and get out in front of the virus in worst areas?
There are a lot of ppl w/out access to a Dr, and lots who simply choose not to see Drs. If u live in, say, NYC, you should be able to show up somewhere at first sign of symptoms, get a prescription, maybe pay wholesale/retail value ( < 50 cents a pill), & start treatment ASAP.
And that way, if you& #39;re worried about hospitalization problem (overload in particular), you& #39;re preemptively treating people who without HCQ may have ended up in hospital.
As POTUS is known to say, what do you have to lose? Worth taking a chance on this approach. Ramping up production shouldn& #39;t be much of a problem. Ventilators a lot more difficult to make! HCQ & Azithro can be made in USA. If we have a supply problem, we can overcome that easily.
The upside is maybe thousands of lives saved. The downside is manageable side effects and maybe an 8-9 figure government investment, which is pennies for the feds. Do the cost-benefit and the solution is a no-brainer IMO.
