Should school and university staff be given the option of prophylactic drugs?

I seem to remember that along with the abandoned hydroxychloroquine trial in the UK (the one where they overdosed patients with 1,600mg a day) they also had a trial giving hospital staff a prophylactic dose - I understand - ivermectin is claimed to be work as a preventative.

No, I Actually think about my posts.
You should try it.

For example, rather than posting what you did, you could say something more useful; like nothing at all.
