Do you have mod access? Any way, I empathize with grocery/retail store workers. I am sure while they are grateful to be working, it must be excruciating to have to go to work if your boss or corporate office not practicing best support for its front-line workers. As I said in the original reply, I hope local PH departments are monitoring stores. We have to keep essential grocery/retail staffs healthy and safe.

I agree with @DoubleBlueGold, I hope to God that Big Brother is monitoring things. Those capitalist bastards in management might take advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of ID specialists or immunologists I speak with or read about disagree with hydroxychloroquine as a therapy right now. I feel the only ones that would take it without more evidence are ones in other scopes of practices like family practice or dermatologists. I'm just glad the Colorado BOP put out strict guidelines on its use to prevent these doctors from writing these rxs for themselves and their families.

I agree that there should be restrictions on the personal prescriptions. Sure you read the non clinical people discuss the academic reasoning. For most doctors, if something has proven relative safety and you're willing to prescribe for malaria or lupus, then you're willing to prescribe for Covid. That said, most frontline doctors that have used it say don't expect miracles. Works for some at certain stages of infection and not so good for others.
