I have not been able to find stockpile for Azithromycin?
It will not end lockdown. It doesn't stop you from getting disease,,, so lockdown will continue until infection rates drop and people aren't pooping virus everywhere. They have to get the infection rate down, or HCQ will disappear in a hurry,,,, also nobody wants average people dropping dead even at 2-4%. It puts an end to it,,, but it's not "the end" that will come later.
That ramp up,,, is not a US based manufacture, and no... trust me,,, i live this,,, it just isn't that simple to whip up a batch. However,,,, within a short time,,, there is plenty of supply. Even if using facilities,,, getting them out of mothballs validated and tested,, isolation formulation testing is months.
New Antivirals, in combination will put an end to lockdown because in that case,,, survival will go up, infection time will drop and testing will be ramped up.

Trump: We have purchased and we have stockpiled 29 million pills of the hydroxychloroquine, 29 million. A lot of drugstores have them by prescription — and they’re not expensive. Also, we’re sending them to various labs, our military, we’re sending them to the hospitals, we’re sending them all over.
STAT: Trump is mostly correct, but the units were donated by drug companies, not purchased by the federal government, and he’s actually underselling the number: It’s 31 million doses, not 29 million. Sandoz, the generic subsidiary of Novartis, donated 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate to the Strategic National Stockpile last month, and Bayer donated another 1 million doses of hydroxychloroquine phosphate. |
