I saw this this morning. The numbers speak for themselves as far as I’m concerned. The number of the workers, who took it and did not go to the hospital. Then the ones that refused, some did have to go to the hospital, and one died. 
(Who knows, I may have some  OCD mannerisms that may be softened!)

An anti-depressant medication used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may also be effective at treating some COVID cases, scientists say.

The drug fluvoxamine, commonly sold under the brand name Luvox, has emerged as a candidate for early treatment of the disease, with studies suggesting it could prevent some people's symptoms progressing to the point of needing hospitalization.
