Based on the evidence I would now request remdesivir. I will say that before this came out I might request HCQ but I would really do some heavy reading on it.
A government-run study of Gilead’s remdesivir, perhaps the most closely watched experimental drug to treat the novel coronavirus, showed that the medicine is effective against Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

You're right though about the ethical conundrum about waiting for a control group; however, as we can see from above, it is still possible with a wait-list or volunteers who opt-out.
You're not quite right about the comparison of tylenol and HCQ. Again, I'm not an expert on this drug but from my superficial reading of some of these articles it seems like
normal doses of HCQ can lead to adverse and potentially deadly outcomes. With tylenol I believe it is excess doses and the proportion of cases is very small considering such widespread use (i'm not sure about the proportion of an adverse reaction with HCQ though). In addition, now that there appears to be maybe a safer alternative (we don't know about the side effects I think) there is little point about discussing HCQ (i.e., considering it for general use) unless the results from all the studies above were erroneous.
