Hydrochloraquine Not A Cure But Can Be Useful
Hydrochloraquine does not cure the coronavirus COVID-19 or anything else. But it reduces the inflammation and fluid discharge and pneumonia so your body can better fight off the disease or virus itself.
It helps to take the hydrochloriquine reasonably early. When the symptoms get severe, other organ damage may have occurred making it harder to recover.
But don't just take hydrochloraquine yourself. Have a doctor help you. There can be unwanted side effects or allergic reactions. Blurring of eyesight and muscel aches are just a few of the side effects for which you need to reduce or stop taking the hydrochloriquine.
Yes, you should still get vaccines when they are available, unless you are allergic to components such as egg in the vaccine that the instructions for the vaccine will point out.

Not All Parents Can Be Teachers
Work at home. Work out at home. Second period math at home.
So goes a commercial for an insurance company. But we cannot expect all parents to re-learn what they did in grade school and high school. Then, after a long day of work, to make supper and clean up and then spend the rest of the evening flitting from one child to another, hovering over each for several minutes at a time, Rinse and repeat.
Instead, the school needs to have opportunities for students to literally rewind and replay lessons, and retake tests if malfunctioning software and technology got in the way. This may involve the school sending a "serviceman" to the student's home to fix the computer, or for the student to go someplace, such as the school building, where booths or carrels would be provided for affected students.
