That is all I was saying. That is why I put forth a scenario then asked a question. I am not really interested in defending the scenario itself, even though I have just now.
I am interested in the answer IF it played out as I put forth.
I will ask again...
What if the following scenario played out...
On Monday a significant number of doctors nationwide start prescribing HCQ+azithromycin to patients in hospital who have tested positive for Covid-19 (those who are severe/critical).
Our supplies of both hold up (this is actually likely given how readily available both are) The US also ramps up production (and taps into strategic stockpiles and military supplies) to meet any upcoming need.
After 6 days, 80%+ of all treated people are virus free.
At what point would you support lifting all the mandated restrictions and just issuing advisories and continuing Federal support for testing and recovery (both economic and medical)?
If this plays out, I can not see ANY excuse for not lifting restrictions by April 1.
