>HCL

It's a bit weird to use that as an acronym for hydroxychloroquine when everybody already uses it for hydrochloric acid (Hydrogen Chloride).

HCL and HCl would be very different things to a chemist, though, if an element L would actually exist.

Thanks for pointing this out. Shows that I'm no chemist :). According to Wikipedia the common abbreviation is HCQ instead of HCL. HN won't let me edit my post any more, otherwise I'd revise my comment.
