I wish they had picked a different state. I read somewhere were NY was giving it only to people who have been put on ventilators. May not be the best use. I would rather they give it to people with symptoms, but who haven’t gotten to that point yet.

That’s probably ok. Most people with less severe symptoms will spontaneously recover. The treatment is being given to those in a more dire condition whio might otherwise not recover. This will also reduce the possibility of running out of the drug.

>>Most people with less severe symptoms will spontaneously recover. <<

Do you have even the least bit of evidence to support that statement?

Most people who are symptomatic start with “less severe symptoms.” Obviously they don’t go from no symptoms to needing a ventilator with no symptom progression in between.

So, how do you know which ones with “less severe symptoms” are going to “spontaneously recover” and which ones are going to go south? Answer: You don’t. Which is why they should all be treated with the drug combo. Plus, it might well turn out that it’s most effective given early. We just don’t know yet.
