What drugs work?

Hydroxychloroquine and zithromax seem to have the best evidence, but its anecdotal. No real studies yet. Current studies don't look great but the combo drug is typically reserved for the sickest.
Multiple physicians across the country have taken it and said they felt completely better the next day.

Some people have taken it prophylactically and have died as hydroxychloroquine can be quite toxic.

Anyone sick enough to get admitted (meaning you need extra oxygen) should be demanding it right now, as it has the best evidence.
If you are under 60, healthy, not hospitalized, probably more toxic than helpful.
