If not why not? Wouldn’t that help to curtail all of the critically ill thereby requiring less hospitalizations and vents???

Of what medicines do you speak?

These meds mentioned aren't a single pill dosage.

It takes 3-6 days to see results, or at least it did in international trials.

Resdemivir? Yes.

Don’t they have minimal side effects? I’m with the OP - what’s the downside?

Hydroxycholoroquine (Plaquenil) + Azithromycin (Zithromax aka Z-pack) appears to be the most promising treatment.
They are pretty popular drugs that have been given out like candy prior to batflu so I expect we have a decent supply (I’m sure that will change though if they do work) and are probably not hard to mass produce.
Not a doctor, but i believe plaquenil is pretty well tolerated by most people if you don’t have heart problems. Even if you don’t, taking both it and zpack for very long can mess up your qt intervals and kill you. It’s not something you want to have to do if your 70+.
