My fam got a quantity through a study by U of Minn which unfortunately has ended but you could look around on clinicaltrials.gov for something in your area either studying HCQ or another antiviral.  Some doctors are prescribing HCQ + AZ outpatient, usually after a positive test is confirmed, so if the GP says no, call someone else.  Of course its a little scary to be tested because of contact tracing and social services threatening to take children but you should consider it depending on your risk. Also they take 2 or 3 days to give you a result.  Alternatively there is the DIY approach. My game plan (since there is not enough HCQ for everyone)is: At first sign of symptoms,  Vitamin D or D3- 5000 to 10,000 IU a day (may protect against the cytokine storm) Zinc— 200 mg a day (over several doses, hard on the stomach) Diet Tonic water~ 5 liters a day, more if you can!  Ivermectin— see https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3938872/24866770 The tonic water has around 60 mg of quinine per liter which will get you to 300 mg, a low but therapeutic dose. Complements the zinc. Very similar to HCQ with the same side effects and interactions (qt prolongation, blood sugar), please do your homework there! Its used for all the same diseases HCQ is used for. It will work if you get it early in a sufficient amt. You can start drinking it while the doctors and labs are dicking you around, then switch to HCQ if they prescribe it to you.  If they wont give you the HCQ, you can add the ivermectin which is a fairly safe drug used widely against covid. They seem to be using it with HCQ in some places.  If you have an old script of azithromycin or erythromycin or doxycycline, these all seem to have an antiviral effect against covid. None of these drugs seem to be counter indicated with each other.  As a prophylactic, you could drink a liter of tonic a day plus 40 mg zinc— the quinine accumulates in your cells and prevents or reduces the severity of infection. India is doing something similar with HCQ with all their healthworkers. Very safe at that level.  Order a few cases of diet tonic and IVM for insurance.
