What people are failing to see here, is that hydroxychloroquine is not yet available in large quantities and there are people who take this medication on a daily basis for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. There are not many treatments available for these people outside of steroids for flareups and biologics which can have their own problems and are expensive. Hydroxychloroquine allows these people to have some quality of life who suffer from what at times are extremely debilitating diseases.  If the panic run on TP is any indication, then this drug needs to be protected from panic buying by stupid people. This move by the governor of Nevada, of who I am not a fan, was done to protect the people who already have to use a drug that is not in large supply.
