OTOH that also means that the doses being used aren't as much higher than the prophylaxis dose as they appear. If you take it regularly, even at low doses, it builds up.
I'm all for staying home for now, but at some point we will have to come out, and we need something to help those that are already infected.
If CQ works as prophylaxis, we could potentially have a sort of interim herd immunity by having large portions of the population that could tolerate CQ taking it prophylactically while we wait for a vaccine. This is basically the current approach in regions with a lot of Malaria, and they've been waiting for a vaccine for a very long time.
The danger of course is SARS-CoV-2 developing resistance to Chloroquine as Malaria has. We need lots of people working as fast as possible on a vaccine.
