Hydroxychloroquine is shown to be effectiveness before the patient is sick enough to be admitted into the hospital.
What is only presented in the media are studies showing it does not work well. All of which are patients already sick enough to be admitted

First ill start with thestatement from Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
"The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, appears to be a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients.

It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagious infectivity in most cases." https://aapsonline.org/hcq-90-percent-chance/">https://aapsonline.org/hcq-90-pe...
Study 1:
"Administration of the HCQ+AZ combination before COVID-19 complications occur is safe and associated with very low fatality rate in patients." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1477893920302179?via%3Dihub">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a...

Study 2:
Of 166 patients from 18 to 85 years hospitalized with COVID-19, hydroxychloroquine treatment with 800mg added loading dose increased survival when patients were admitted in early stages of the disease. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202005.0057/v1">https://www.preprints.org/manuscrip...

Study 3:
Hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with a decreased mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 through attenuation of inflammatory cytokine storm.
Hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with a decreased mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 through attenuation of inflammatory cytokine storm.
Therefore, hydroxychloroquine should be prescribed for treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients to save lives. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.27.20073379v1">https://www.medrxiv.org/content/1...

Study 6 (on safety):
200 Patients â no instances of TdP or arrhythmogenic death were reported
"Although use of these medications resulted in QT prolongation, clinicians seldomly needed to discontinue therapy."
