why should you wear a mask???...CDC told you not to..Surgeon General told you it was useless..flubros said dont worry..its just the flu no mask needed

but early early days a Dr here said you need to lessen the viral load...yep..it made sense. i wish I could remember his name. He was telling the flubros why you would worry and why it wasnt like the flu

Agreed with all the above have been using prednisone also but less now.
We anticoagulate everyone. Plasma seems to help but all protocols work best with low viral load. Dialysis and Echmo seems to increase mortality at times.testing is the critical issue.

ice9 @__ice9 It will likely be a useful one, though. EIDD-2801 is an orally-available nucleotide analogue, similar to remdesivir. Based on in vitro results, it looks like the viral exoribonuclease can't rip it out the way it does to ribavirin. It will likely work.https://www.pids.org/images/docs/Medicine_Grand_Rounds_V2.pdf …
