Like Reelin said, it's effectiveness may be related to it's ability to modulate immune activity by affecting pH. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27927040 h

Course, that'll only work if the symptoms are being caused by an overactive immune system and it's able to mediate that immune response in time.

Accumulating evidence suggests that a subgroup of patients with severe COVID-19 might have a cytokine storm syndrome [1]. HCQ is known to moderate this reaction.
