That’s encouraging but with a mortality rate of about 1%, you’re still dealing with small numbers from which to draw conclusions.
Im not sure where you learnt the maths, but even using your 1% (which this virus will be far less than) there should be 4 bodies on the floor, right?
Unless this drug is actually working? Phenomenally? As we heard it has in 6 other countries.

Many doctors must think it will work because in NC it is now an issue and an investigation may follow after the article below came out.
quote:
The North Carolina Board of Nursing says reports are circulating of physicians prescribing hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, azithromycin and other medications "often in large quantities with a high number of refills" for themselves and family members amid the coronavirus outbreak. The drugs are being investigated as treatments for COVID-19, the illness associated with the virus.
"Board staff and public health officials are aware that some prescription drug wholesalers are reporting shortages of these drugs," the nursing board said in a statement posted online. "Pharmacists are reminded of their ability to refuse to fill prescriptions that, in the pharmacist’s professional judgment, are not clinically appropriate."
