That's when it became a wide profit margin. No matter which way you want to look at it, it's a win. 30 years ago
there was never a water bill. Why cry over spilled milk.

Beg pardon, but WTF does all that have to do with the OP? I'm talking about the powers that be in the medical/medicine field NOT utilizing time tested homeopathic, herbal, vitamin based treatments that help the body fight infections, flus and viruses. Waiting for a vaccine while essentially doing little else but keeping one breathing (while using experimental/conventional drug treatments that the family is not aware of)is a crap shoot at best.

Yup!

I have yet to see ANY main stream media reports from our national health officials regarding a TREATMENT or PREVENTATIVE TREATMENTS for Covid-19 symptoms.

Remdesivir has been shown to shorten the recovery time for hospitalized patients. The Trump administration has bought up all they can get (do you think they will share it with any shithole countries?)

Dexamethasone sharply cuts the death rate in severe cases. This drug is cheap and widely available, so Trump couldn't corner that.

No results yet on ingesting disinfectant.

Not sure about the remdesivir, as discussed in late March https://www.sciencefriday.com/segmen...ments-science/

and again in May https://theintercept.com/2020/05/26/...vir-treatment/

And if it does prove out, the average schmoe who's affected will be at the mercy of the (wait for it) insurance companies!

Pretty much what I was pointing out in the OP.

do you think the only solution is probably a vaccine given to all?
