If we have effective treatment for high risk people (low risk usually recover just fine) - the disease will burn out on its own.
In Fl, the 7 day ma for new cases is at about 11,000. That’s 77K over the past week. They estimate about 10 people with CoViD for every tested and diagnosed case.
As a very rough estimate, there may be about a million individuals with the virus presently in the State. That’s about 5% of the population. And... we already had a number of weeks with many cases. At this rate, we may be not very far from the point when effective immunity levels, hopefully, will kick in.

HCQ is being prescribed quite widely, and it seems to work. Never heard about any doctor being actually sanctioned for prescribing it. But, also, they’ve never got around to doing a proper double blind trial on outpatients. In effect, it’s an “orphan drug” - there is no money in it. So, NIH would be the natural sponsor, or some charitable foundation.... but so far no one’s been charitable enough. They started a couple of studies, actually - but haven’t heard any updates. |
