With 200 news stories each day about vaccines, exactly 0 each day regarding treatment advances, it seems a topic worthy of discussion. Posting in OT hoping to avoid nonsense.

So, a few questions...in record time we have highly touted and publicized vaccines available to the general public. Yet when an early infected patient presents at a hospital, they’re told to go home, quarantine and come back once you struggle to breathe. With literally every medical condition, early treatment is the best path to recovery. Why not COVID?

Almost two years into the pandemic, there are no approved and reasonably reliable treatments that can be prescribed and administered at home. There is no media discussion and no messaging from the CDC other than to ignore everything you’ve heard that “may” work. It won’t.

I’m sure there are trials going on but clearly without urgency. Is the presence of these EUA vaccines expected to negate the urgent need for readily available and reliable treatment? We’ve already seen that’s not the case. Yet, here we are.

Let’s try to avoid the conspiracy theories around the vaccine companies, politics, etc. So, what gives? We need reliable and available treatments desperately.
