For starters, there is no science or firm data either way. It'll take months of studies to come up with proof. But some people don't have the time to wait for the studies to come out. In cases of SARS, Hydroxychloroquine was effective and COVID-19 is a close cousin to SARS. If I'm hospitalized, or even have it, I'll want them to use it on me. It won't hurt to give it to me with little to no side effects when used properly. What are the side effects of not taking it? You could die or possibly have permanent damage to your lungs.

From your article........

Last week, in an interview with Larry King, Oz cited the opinion of a noted rheumatologist that the “complications are nil” and that side effects were rare. “Then I start to think, my goodness, if they are not worried about it, then why am I worried about it when the downside of not giving it might be progression of the virus."

JFC. Dr. Oz? Are you f ucking kidding me? He's a friggin' haircut with a stethoscope.

He doesn't even cite a study. Which is probably the retrospective VA study that came out yesterday with the use of HCQ by itself, HCQ + Zyth, and nothing. HCQ solo didn't fair very well. No mention on how sick the patients were who were in the study. HCQ + Zyth did somewhat better.

The best results, which weren't studied, are coming from a cocktail of HCQ, a Z-pack, and zinc. This regimen given when the patient has moderate sx has shown to be fruitful. There are a number of other drugs on the market that show potential as well. Randomized, double-blind studies are great - when you have the time, but folks are dying now. I'd much rather have a tx that has shown some efficacy rather than nothing or, worse, given a placebo to prove some other drug works or doesn't. My wife has been informed as much if I were to get this thing.

Preach it !

Amen...but dr oz has been one of the good guys throughout this.
