In hospitals, doctors and nurses are sometimes treating COVID-19 patients with the antiviral drug oseltamivir, or Tamiflu, which seems to suppress the virus' reproduction in at least some cases. This is somewhat surprising, Michigan Tech virologist Ebenezer Tumban told Live Science, as Tamiflu was designed to target an enzyme on the influenza virus, not on coronaviruses. The National Institutes of Health has begun a clinical trial at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to test the antiviral remdesivir for COVID-19, the agency announced Feb. 25. In China, doctors are also testing an array of other antivirals originally designed to treat Ebola and HIV, Nature Biotechnology reported.
 
I'm still curious about this Darth - I've asked you a few times:

There are similar very small %'s when it comes to Islam and terrorism. And yet you had no problem w/ all kinds of extreme action, panic, travel bans, etc. on that front.

Do you know why that is? What accounts for the difference in outlook?
 
It's quickly catching some of your NRA mass shootings in vegas or churches and schoolsor OKLA city bombings. Are you jealous?

What is your point? That the hysterics of tanking the stock market and destruction of our economy are warranted over something as benign as the flu? Where was all this hysteria during a far more dangerous crisis with H1N1?

I never said anything about the the stock market. I am saying if we look at Italy we can see what happens if you do nothing. I suspect this virus is 5 to 10 times more deadly than H1 N1 and about 1.5 more contagious. Also being contagious before symptoms is a huge problem. H1N1 did not tank Italy's hospital system but COVID19 certainly has. They are rationing ventilators. If you are about 70 years old you probably will not get a ventilator and will die.

Excellent point.

The bottom line here is that people, while normal people are calm, there are some who are panicking and, as this thread and others prove, those who are in denial. I'm content to be patient and wait until Easter, which Trump canceled at the WH, to take a body count then wait another few weeks to take another body count on Cinco de Mayo. At that time everyone on this forum can revisit those who were panicking and those who were in denial.

BTW, Trump admitted today that Coronavirus is bad and not under control....then he punted to Pence again.

Just my two cents worth. :)

The lack of testing has a lot to do with the mortality rate.

A John’s Hopkins professor thinks the case number could be as high as 500,000. Panic enthusiasts think that is good news but it’s just the opposite because that almost guarantees a low mortality rate. Very likely below 1%.

And if it comes in that low, all of this was done over a virus that’s on par with the seasonal flu.

Or put it this way, if the numbers are going to jump to Plague like numbers—they are going to do it real soon. In fact, they should have done it by now but the Death by Corona numbers are barely worth mentioning in a country this size.

I think they pressed the panic button but we’ll know for sure, soon.

The way you guys try to undermine the CDC, NIH and other health agencies is puzzling at the least. Did Dr. Fauci press the panic button or is he a guy who knows his stuff and is explaining it to the country?
