I’m not worried about it, but one is considered a public health threat if one says that. I’m convinced the antimalarial drugs work (when combined with zinc and azithromycin), and on the off chance I get a serious case I would ask my doctor for it. I don’t see how it is legal for a governor to tell doctors they cant give antimalarials to patients with serious cases of coronavirus.
