I haven't read where anyone here has mentioned a virus cure with an antibiotic Then why, pray tell, would "we get a fortified Zpak annually as part of a flu shot? They are not going to give an annual does of antibiotics to the everyone as a prophylaxis, it does nothing to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and they know that makes bacteria more deadly. There will be a vaccine in a year or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get a fortified Zpak type drug that will save lives, but not likely a vaccine. Maybe I misread this, no vaccine but Zpac cocktail that will reduce death rate if you have it? That certainly is possible, they will know what really works, what doesn't by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they are doing antibodies and Remdesivir work also.: . https://news.emory.edu/stories/2020/03/coronavirus_vteu_modernastart/index.html There are a lot of those trials going all over the US, it's an overall 5K pt study that will have it through trials. It's a subtle point, but very important to understand, neither Zpac nor RDV are an anti-viral. What they are doing is improving airway management so that body can get rid of viral load on it's own by slowing down bodies immune system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2020 If you want to know the facts on any clinical trials in the US, or an US drug in a foreign country, this is the site to go to. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ They even, believe it or not, have a Covid section. Takes a little more work, no spin, no hype, just facts on what's in the pipeline. Edit: When I just pulled it up there were 745 studies listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a vaccine in a year or less. It is appearing that it has mutated a fair number of times. We better not be holding our breath on a vaccine.

Definitely don't want to mess with it when you already have an underlying lung condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
