Dozens of people taking hydroxychloroquine and other autoimmune drugs for chronic ailments such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis have tested positive for the CCP virus, according to data compiled by the Global Rheumatology Alliance.

The study is sponsored by an international collaborative, the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance, which includes a large group of academics, clinicians, and patients working together, and so far suggests that taking hydroxychloroquine doesn’t eliminate patient susceptibility to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease.
