President Trump was given remdesivir because it is an anti-viral that can shorten recovery time. Right now, he wants to get back to work ASAP if not sooner.
However, HCQ tends to interfere with remdesivir and so those two drugs should not be given at the same time. You have to pick one. So, POTUS is getting remdesivir and not HCQ.
If I get sick with the 'rona, I definitely want HCQ + zinc + Zpak since that's affordable and safe. My job can be put on hold for a couple of weeks, if need be, but POTUS's job cannot.
as I understand it, HCQ helps to fight off whatever is attacking you through mobilizing zinc into the cells. I don't think it's considered an "anti-viral" per se.
Viruses are extremely nasty and weird little entities that are very, very hard to kill. Anti-viral medications are relatively new and also very expensive - sometimes thousands for a single dose, as remdesivir is said to be.
HCQ is very inexpensive, has been around in one form or another for literally a hundred years, and is very safe and well understood. If taken at the first symptoms, it's said to be very effective against the 'rona and if I should come down with it, the HCQ regimen is what I would want.
Yes, something like remdesivir is much more high-powered and tends to work better, afaik, if used for a patient who did not get treatment right away.
But a high-powered treatment also has the potential for high-powered side effects, so you have to balance risk vs. benefit as doctors always do. These new anti-virals are also extremely expensive, especially compared to the HCQ regimen.
And you're right about remdesivir not being used for outpatients - it is directed to be administered via IV in hospital:
I knew about the use of Chloroquine + zinc weeks before Trump gave it a public mention. At this stage I would go Ivermectin + zinc +/- doxycline as a bas triple therapy. I would add some HCQ...and vitamins etc especially vit D/C/A.

That is complete bs.
