The greatest scientific research and health care enterprise in the world can do better on this front.
There remains an unmet need for additional therapeutics that can be used in mildly ill or asymptomatic patients who don’t require hospitalization or advanced care — particularly in order to help them avoid progressing to a crisis state. Such agents might also reduce infectivity and save lives.. Now, the goal should be developing comparable drugs for Covid that either target the virus directly , or target the inflammatory response to the virus .
It is past time to collect the scientific evidence from careful study of generic drugs to learn whether they may be useful or not. Ranting opinions on social media are not helping those who are sick, but clinical trials, nationally coordinated and standardized, will. And if, and only if, any of these agents happen to be effective, there will be millions of beneficiaries.
