Pretty big news out of India.
They've been using Hydroxychloroquine to prevent covid.
It's been working pretty well. 3 new studies show that it works, not perfectly, but better than nothing, to prevent covid.
And, in India, they've just expanded the categories of people who are to get HCQ to prevent covid.

HCQ breakthrough: ICMR finds it’s effective in preventing coronavirus, expands its use
Three studies find that hydroxychloroquine reduces chances of contracting Covid, so ICMR allows more frontline workers to take it as a preventive drug.
"The advisory suggests surveillance workers, paramilitary and police personnel, as well as medical staff working in non-Covid hospitals and blocks to start consuming the pill as “preventive therapy”.
ICMR had issued an advisory to begin using HCQ in March, but it had drawn criticism for lacking scientific evidence that the drug works against the novel coronavirus."
In the US, the big thing now, especially in states with Democrat Governors, is to throw people with covid into nursing homes, Whitmer in Michigan is becoming an expert at this. She just sent a crazy 20 year old with covid into a nursing home where he beat up a 75 year old who actually lived there. Also, what is extremely common is to seemingly do absolutely nothing to keep the people who work in the nursing homes from getting sick.
In India, they've been having the workers who work closely with covid folks and at risk folks take HCQ. They should be doing that in the US. Use to prevent covid in nursing homes. Definitely have the workers take it.
Another story.
