Excellent news! An effective antiviral would be a game-changer. "Within five days" is a doable window (needs cheap/easy testing). I read Merck will allow generics for lower-income countries, await the details: cost will be an issue here. Also: does not make vaccines unnecessary.https://twitter.com/DrLeanaWen/status/1443908308629397510 …
I don't disagree at all. I am just hoping especially the media coverage does not lump vaccines and drugs into a single bucket. Categorically different things, for good reason. Also in LMIC countries, there is a tendency to take drugs like this.. a lot. And a lot.
