I am going to postpone my Hip Surgery Under the Circumstancesf

My Goodness, I hope this is real! I heard that in a French study hydroxychloroquine sulphate in combination with Azithromyacine has been successful against Clovid.. This Pandemic is completely confusing...


My Orthopedic specialist's clinic has closed.
 I was just told by my hip specialist to choose one of three options as far as my hip surgery goes.. 1) wait till after the pandemic is over, and manage with the pain I'm having now. 2) Have an online conversation with the specialist, by phone or video and go into city hospital to try to get an X-ray knowing full well that the other patients have priority and it may be a stressfull wait to see the orthopedic team. 3) An Urgent matter; If I have a fracture, or drainage issues to go into Emerg right away knowing that Clovid patients will likely be there as well.  So with the consultation of my family, I choose option 1. I will try to cope with the pain until the pandemic subsides. This will be difficult, but I would hate to recover after surgery and have nobody with me. Or worse, catch Clovid and die there on one of the hospital beds.. Is everyone out there just as confused as I am?
