The drugs in the above studies are for ‘in-hospital’ use. We we have very few chemical defenses against the disease once it progresses to hospitalization. And, according to India, higher doses of what we have are needed with variants. Meaning doctors need alternatives stat.
RE: hcq/ivermectin home remedies:
I personally would save the $250 that others are being scammed out of for on-line invermectin scripts. First, keep in mind that the original days to symptoms was 7-10, and the new is 3-4. Which changes the game - there’s far less time to even realize you’re sick, much less build a serum level against a virus that grows 1000x the viral load of Wuhan original. In non-hospitalized use, with a 98% survival in youth, who’s to say whether it was the person’s own body rallying? Are we seeing a sugar pill symdrome?
There have been over 66 in-hospital studies against the original Wuhan. Some look promising but some do not and the results are all over the scale. Studies continue against Delta, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, partly because it’s been 8 months since Delta appeared and nobody’s rushing to pre-print with a yureka!
I’m wondering how many of the thousands/millions of people taking Hydroxychloroquine for lupus or arthritis have come down with the rona??
