1. it's prescription only.
2. it's already available for compassionate use.
The FDA is allowing chloroquine and remdesivir to be used for 'compassionate use' to treat the coronavirus.

It isn't totally clear to me what you are implying, but there isn't anything wrong with them stocking up on hydroxychloroquine if it is likely to be effective against COVID-19. It would be a shame if they thought it worked but government regulation prevents them from prescribing it to ordinary patients.
It doesn't. It's FDA-approved, it's just off-label for this use.

lmao are you implying that doctors are self-prescribing or using straw man prescriptions because they just love their jobs that much?
bud, if that's a good policy we can get the chain of command at the hospital to do it, not Dr Nick writing a fake prescription for his dog and taking it on the sly.
Oh yeah but that's not an FDA approved use and there's "no clinical evidence that it works".
What I'm saying is there's a huge disconnect between what doctors are saying, and what they're doing. There is pretty strong evidence it works. There is a half century of evidence it's safe. That's why they're willing to give it to their family members.
Doctors just don't want to cause a rush on the supply. But they themselves want to hoard it for their family.
BTW the whole reason Trump mentioned this is because he's on it. Someone told him these pills would help keep him from getting infected, and he blurted it out because he has no filter and just says whatever crosses his mind.
Maybe the part where he burned spies that took us decades to get into the Kremlin in a moment of unthinking blurting. Or the part where he livetweeted a classified photo from a briefing (on his unsecure phone that he's not "allowed" to have, if he cared) that revealed classified satellite orbits and capabilites and had to be (arduously) scrubbed from the internet. Or the part where some people talked to him about the problems of mass shootings and he proposed "taking all the guns and worrying about the due process later". Or maybe the other 4 years too.
It's really not a radical thesis at this point. Guy has no filters whatsoever. Name your position, guy has blurted out a dozen unthinking things over the years. He just says whatever wanders across his mind. Whatever seems good at the moment.
Some of them can be retracted later. A lot can't. The damage is done. You can't put those drugs back on the shelves.
By the way, he didn't just say it was hopeful, he suggested it was approved. Which is where Dr Fauci had to step in.
I have to watch does as it has a strong stimulant effect at times.
It is Life changing for me, but i was having a lot of severe anxiety attacks from it.
Dr doubled the doSe. Yea a week long freak out occluded before I figure out what was going on.
Still worth it. Just have to be careful
