Overall: 
Michael D. Turnbull, the article is brand new and just passes the length requirement. Sourcing, neutrality and plagiarism issues not detected. Had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic, I would have dismissed the hook as not exactly interesting, but given the efforts to promote hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 cure, I think this will attract some clicks. I believe that mentioning this COVID-19-HCQ connection in the hook won't hurt, but I don't insist on it. In any case, in my assessment, the article is just fine for DYK.
