Interesting article. To me, this is more about, 1) not having a cure for this virus and 2) not having a cure and how it spreads quickly, especially to folks, mostly older, who are sick...someone coming off cancer treatments or in ill health. Those are the folks most in harms way...and, of course those who are out of toilet paper.Everybody still talking about the doomsday flu. The least potent strain in the past 50 years. Dang our society is stupid.
You think the Chinese are going to wait a year? They said they were willing to execute people to contain the virus, so why not try an experimental cure first? Especially if they can take the R&D from us without incurring costs?Unfortunately even if it does work, it'll probably be a year or close to it before it is available to the public because apparently the experts think it takes that long to ensure it is safe.
This is potentially a remarkable discovery. UT has had some amazing health discoveries. They are also responsible for the research on the effects of calcium on weight loss, which has helped a vast number of people become much healthier.
If it is a compound that has been previously approved by the FDA, as was mentioned in the article, it is likely that it will be pushed through much more rapidly.Unfortunately even if it does work, it'll probably be a year or close to it before it is available to the public because apparently the experts think it takes that long to ensure it is safe.
