Another interesting observation. Early on there was evidence of viability for HCQ and Ivermectin. With astounding speed both were tested, trialed and quickly shut down as being non-viable treatments.

Additionally I’ve read that there were no federally funded projects to pursue readily available drugs that could prove effective as treatment. Only new drug development. Remember also that manufacturers of cheap, readily available drugs (ex: Ivermectin/Merck) have no incentive to promote cheap, low margin drugs when new developments can be immensely profitable.

Whether such matters play a role in the comparatively slow progress is pure speculation. But certainly a point worthy of consideration.

And JYL...your initial question is confirmed. That’s exactly the question. If I test positive and am very early in the infection process, what can my doctor prescribe to prevent it’s unfettered replication and worsening of symptoms? An infusion is not a viable tool for mass application as you described.
