Interesting paper on HCQ and supply chain…
BTW..HCQ is modelled after CQ which comes from quinine…a natural product.
You can make BOATLOADS of CQ from Quinine from cinchoba bark…IN YOUR OWN HOUSE…

"In conclusion, we remain cautiously optimistic with the global manufacturing capability to ramp up production, meeting the demand for HCQ should it be proven efficacious by randomized clinical trials. Rationing and allocation to focus resources on the truly needy should be vigorously implemented to address the current shortage before large supply catches up. Considering that there is significant lead time to ramp up production at this scale, cost of API production is relatively small, staring materials are readily available, and the potential benefits and probability of HCQ be eventually proven efficacious [11] to help patients inflicted with COVID-19, immediate ramping up of production at risk as a contingency before definitive clinical trials conclude appears to be justifiable."
