The politicization of hydroxychloroquine may be moot: East Virginia Medical School has added quercetin to their treatment protocol, even at the prophylactic stage. Quercetin is a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine but without the QT elongation some doctors worry about. I am actually taking it, since it is available over-the-counter. It is actually a flavonoid present (in lower amounts) in a lot of vegetables and fruits. They recommend prophylactic Vitamins D3 and C, zinc, and Pepcid or the generic equivalent.
They also want people to take melatonin. I've been taking it for a couple of nights and all I can say is: Damn! This is powerful stuff for supposedly a harmless supplement. I really go right to sleep and stay asleep for 8 hours. But if I have to set the alarm for sunrise to let dogs out, I can still function fine, and then go back to sleep when it's done.
