Everyone is welcome to take their own health into their own hands. However, for others looking to this as advice, please be aware that:
1) ACE inhibitors (lisinopril, etc.) are generally though to be enzymatic inhibitors of ACE, not ACE2 [1]. Also, enzymatic inhibition of the enzyme does not mean that it will prevent a virus from using that protein as an entry mechanism.
2) Chloroquine is an old drug with a well known safety profile, but it is certainly not a "safe" drug-- there are many known side effects including life threatening or severely disabling ones. As an MD, I recommend always consulting with your own medical provider(s) before starting any medications.
