I also got chloroquine but I think I would use it on my parents or me only if we would be sick for a long time without ER room or something. What's your plan?

  That's a f###ing bad idea given the current state of knowledge about this infection. Your chance for doing more harm than good is huge.

    why? that's a drug that has been used, and honestly if my parents are 20 days in trouble breathing and ER is full I can't see why not. Other choice is to let them die

      It amazes me how people can be most defiant regarding usual care practice and so prompt at accepting the first hypothetical unverified claim that comes their way in an emergency. Truly dumbfounding. And I've been at it for more than 10 years already.

          You mean the "in vitro" part?

            I mean it's common practice at hospitals now. Using dumbfounded dumb dumb words is dumb bro

              Bro understands the difference between "non-peer-reviewed chinese study over 100 patients" and "lifesaving treatment" bro. Because bro happens to do clinical research for a living, bro.

                Let's see what you do when your spouse is dying in your apartment with no medical help and all you have is a box of chloroquine. I truly don't wish this for you.
