So again, heaven forbid, but if you were to die from it, how would you take it post mortem?
so we should just prescribe drugs as a cure for a deadly virus without a single shed of proof it works.

who would prescribe a drug not known to have any chance of helping?
Would you just like randomly start taking drugs if you got sick? Because hey, maybe one would work?

Chloroquine is among the drugs to be studied in a multicountry trial announced this week by the World Health Organization, and it is already recommended treatment by China and South Korea governments.
Since Thursday, at least four drugmakers have said they are donating hydroxychloroquine tablets to institutions or increasing production of the compound.
Hmmm already a recommended treatment by two other countries.
Chloroquine, approved for Americans in the 1940s, and hydroxychloroquine, greenlighted the next decade, are also prescribed for patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The drugs are considered relatively safe for most people although chloroquine is slightly more toxic.
The one mentioned in the post you resonded to is the less toxic drug.

There has been no study proving the drug combat the virus.

Id be patient zero for the Chinese virus. Not sure Iād want to take the risk. Who knows.
Now with COVID-19, Iād probably take it. But I has nothing to do with the President, Iād take my doctors advice.

No, you didnāt. Try again.
There has been no clinical trial to prove the drug is effective at combating the virus.
