COVID-19: All Adults In the Indian State of Goa To Be Given Ivermectin Drug To Bring Down Mortality
Republic World ^ | 05/10/2021 | Press Trust Of India

All people above 18 years in Goa will finally be given Ivermectin drug irrespective of their coronavirus status to bring down mortality, state Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said on Monday.

He said patients will be given Ivermectin 12 mg for a period of five days as expert panels from the UK, Italy, Spain and Japan have found a statistically significant reduction in mortality, time to recovery and viral clearance in COVID-19 patients treated with this medicine.

"I have given instructions for immediate implementation of prophylaxis (action taken to prevent disease) treatment," Rane said.

The minister said this treatment would not prevent COVID-19 infection but it can help reduce the severity.

"The Ivermectin 12 mg tablet will be made available in all the district, sub-district, PHCs, CHCs, sub-health centres, rural dispensaries for people to collect and start treatment immediately, irrespective of any symptoms or anything," Rane said.

Goa on Monday recorded 2,804 new cases of coronavirus, taking its tally to 1,21,650, while 50 more fatalities pushed the toll to 1,729, a health official said.

The half-life of ivermectin is between 12 and 36 hours. Taking one pill each day for 5 days will provide therapeutic blood levels for about 11 days.

and then what, cross your fingers?

The best advice is to take Ivermectin at the very first sign that you’ve contracted the virus.

It works magnificently. I know from my own experience.

Then they’ll likely have it to take once/week, going forward...for so many weeks. (That’s what various protocols call for, anyway.)

Probably trying to flatten the curve.....the right way.

Finally someone is giving Ivermectin a go. It will kill the virus, but not any bacterial infection which may already have started triggered by this virus. For this it may take some anti-biotics, but that can be done.

25% of Goans are Christians. And Goa has the highest per capita GDP of all Indian states.

“kill the virus”

Virus isn’t alive to begin with. But ivermectin interferes with the replication function.

Well that’s good enough for me, the sooner they start with it the better off they will be. If it is in your system it will deny the virus a head start and your immune system may take over and be able to take care of any surviving viruses.
