In a ideal world, we should be giving hidroxicloroquine as a profylactic to health workers that are greatly exposed to the virus and also to everyone in the early stages of the infection. But... Not only we don't test people until they show clear symptoms of difficulty of breathing (noone is being tested otherwise, due to lack of tests) but even then, there is not enough supplies for all positives.

We don't have enough information about real efficacy of that product... first of all (and in ideal word this is enough)

Why are you saying (very confident, like an FDA official Cheesy

) that this should be used as a PROFYLACTIC.... when actually has been tested only for people infected and not for PROFYLACTIC usage?

Why are you giving your useless opinion about drugs and treatment?
There are not evidence of what are you saying... Seriously...this is science is not "In your honest opinion" is not only totally worthless is also DANGEROUS!

Yes, it is my honest opinion based on available data. I guess you are also giving your honest opinion, and that is fine. I would encourage you to improve your research, at least in relation of your strong statement about "having only been tested for people infected and not for profylactic usage" though. Also, when I say profilactic/preventive I mean it can help stop the reproduction of the virus once infected not that it can prevent infection.

I have never said that there were conclusive and much less an officially vetoed stance about it.

Also, please check the very own thread you just posted and the comments about the graph. I do agree with most of them. Not because I know better... But just because those comments and findings are coherent to most other reliable sources I have checked.

That being said, the best thing to do at this time is to avoid getting exposed to the virus and wait till it is safe outside and hospitals are not overwhelmed so that you can receive proper treatment.
