      ‼️“Fewer than 1% of patients taking the drug needed to be hospitalized and no one died. In the comparison group, 7% were hospitalized and there were seven deaths.” So promising that they halted the trial early. Pfizer, like Merck, *must* allow cheap generics for LMIC. No excuses.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1456576002457575427 …

      Needs to be cheap as lots of people need to take it: "Patients who received the company’s drug [...] shortly after showing COVID-19 symptoms" and "Patients who received the drug earlier showed slightly better results, underscoring the need for speedy [...] treatment."

      Which is the tough part. Getting the sick person to be sampled & tested, let alone come forward early enough

      That's required for almost all antivirals, isn't it?

      In Mass it’s surprisingly hard to get a test. If you can’t drive 30-60 min, or wait 2-3 days for a test at a pharmacy, and another 24-48+ hours for results. And doctors will not accept rapid OTC results, even though they are developed to diagnostic standards. A big problem.

          If one rapid OTC isn't good enough because the system's too worried about false positives, just make the standard if you're seeking this treatment "take two in a row." Not that hard.

          I live in MA and find it super easy to get a PCR COVID test with results within 24 hours.

          I am definitely in the “donut hole” closer to the city or closer to 495 is better. I am very salty about this.
