RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Covid 19 IS the promotor
Well it was a bit of a non-event type of announcement.
The well publicized event turned out to be an announcement of Early Use Authorization (EUA) for convalescent plasma. This is received not unlike HCQ. It has been around for 100 years and has been discussed for a couple of months. It has not gone through a controlled study so the nay sayers are jumping on that immediately. A doctor from Vanderbilt University was interviewed and he has stated that he would not accept "anything" for "anything" until it has gone through all of the rigours of a full blown controlled placebo type study. He is not willing to short cut anything -- and the number of deaths happening does not appear to influence his thinking.
I was kind of hoping for an anouncement of a new well documented drug showing very good results - relatively speaking. The plasma routine supposedly has about a 35% reduction factor which the "experts" claim is very good.
