Go through the latest reports of WHO ' hydroxychloroquine' being used in COVID  is neither helping nor detrimental to health.

Till this time it is believed that it is the right remedy by some Doctors and India exported the drug in huge quantities to other countries.

When the correct remedy is not stated scientifically and when hydroxychloroquine was believed to be the only remedy previously, one can not find a doctor prescribing such drugs as negligence.  One can not question the discretion and judgment of a doctor when there is no scientific proof of an appropriate drug to COVID.  Ever American President admitted that he is taking that drug as a preventive measure.

To my understanding, the so called Covid-19 is not a pandemic but a panic reaction borne of Thanatophobia, or fear of death which is a relatively complicated phobia. Many, if not most, people are afraid of dying. Some people fear being dead, while others are afraid of the actual act of dying.

It is only that ailment spreads fast,  but any person average heath recovers fast; it is just fever. Deaths are mostly because of commorbidity. In more than 80% of the affected persons, the condition is assymptometic. As matters stand now, the remedy is in herd-immunity.
