I believe the value of the “wonder-drug” is zero.
You look at Africa and it’s marginal health care situation. Doctors and nurses don’t match up to US standard. You don’t see very many Ebola patients with IV solutions hooked up. Fever drugs in Africa? Few being used. Standard liquid foods that you’d have in the US? Rarely seen in Africa.
Yet, they get a 10-percent survivor rate. The media would make you think it’s 100-percent death rate but they squeeze ten percent of the folks, onto surviving. So this ought to make you think....just identifying it early and getting standard IV solutions, fever drugs, and liquids into it....will beat the thing, and give an American probably around 90-percent chance of living.
So this wonder-drug talk? It’s hyped up and bogus. They will pay tens of billions, for nothing.
I’m starting to suspect a year from now, many American states and territories will be trying to sell off or give away thousands of unused Haz Mat Suits. I agree that it’s starting to look as if this virus can be treated by keeping the patient properly nourished, hydrated, cleansed and isolated. Some will die anyway, but I doubt if the mortality rate becomes as consistently high here vs in Liberia. We must have a clear plan to dispose of the dead. Incineration would most likely be the best route. No embalming, which would release all manner of noxious, infectious gases into the atmosphere.
