I know doctors are using chloroquine in NY, wallet from the hood didn’t. Telling me to ask someone else for information about a subject you are advocating doesn’t lead me to believe you are actually informed about the subject you are advocating.
Look, I’m sympathetic to people like you that grab on to anything that may be a hope in a world in crisis. I want chloroquine to work in some way, I really do. I also would like to remdivir work for other people. I want a vaccine, too.
But, we can’t be so scared of this virus that we don’t make fully informed decisions. We will have the start of good data rather shortly on this drug.
There was good news today. The IHME mortality projections were lowered by about 15%.

I have seen at the Golf courses and even at home during parties.

I wasn't actually telling you to call a doctor.
I was responding the hypothetical you posed about how would a doctor now the dosage.
As you saw 4,000 New Yorkers were given the treatment. Your hypothetical doctor could call their doctors in NY.

Early and combined interventions crucial in tackling Covid-19 spread in China
The study estimates that by the end of February 2020 there was a total of 114, 325 COVID-19 cases in China. It shows that without non-pharmaceutical interventions – such as early detection, isolation of cases, travel restrictions and cordon sanitaire – the number of infected people would have been 67 times larger than that which actually occurred.
The research also found that if interventions in the country could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively – significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease. However, if NPIs were conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks later than they were, the number of cases may have shown a 3-fold, 7-fold, or 18-fold increase, respectively.

Covid-19: Why won't the WHO officially declare a coronavirus pandemic?

The answer may lie with what kicks into gear when we deploy the P-word. Countries have pandemic plans that are launched when one is declared, but these plans may not be appropriate for combating covid-19 – and the WHO doesn’t want countries to lurch in the wrong direction.
