Reply #46: I wouldn't expect them to make it available as a prophylactic

First, depending on how they work, they may not be effective as a prophylactic. Second, they probably come with a host of side effects. Thirds, there are strong recommendations not to overprescribe drugs as that is one reason that they are losing effectiveness more quickly. Finally, with a limited supply in the country, the first doses will go, appropriately, to first line defenders and people who deliver essential services, who are *required* to stay on the job or even be exposed as part of their jobs. Doctors and nurses can't stay home during an outbreak, and are the most heavily exposed. Much of the rest of the world can stay home, and should if it comes down to it.
