Now, what's the risk of serious side effects/death from coronavirus for those over 70 years old ? Like >10%.

Are you willing to take that risk ?
A glaring fact is that chloroquine / hydroxychloroquine have been on the WHO's list of essential medicines for decades . . . . why so, if they were too toxic to recommend ?
Just like the rush on buying ammo, would you prefer to have "the likely treatment" before the problems comes to you - - or, would you prefer to fail to find it after all the shops and stores are completely sold out and the unemployed "zombies" are all over your property and smashing down your door while your family is cowering under the table screaming and crying for help ? I already got my supply of it, best of luck for all the naysayers.
BTW, what is your Gov't offering you right now in the way of proven drugs ? Nothing. All the while the rich in NY are reported in the news media as cashing in on favors to secure reservations for hospital beds in case they need them - - and buying ventilators . . . under the counter.
