Great news. I don’t know how they would disburse it then to the public. Positive development.

So it would be people that are at least moderately sick in the hospital and need treatment.

Most will recover at home with little to mild symptoms.

It’s good to know that something is out there for those that do have to be hospitalized though.

There is no predicting such things. Especially if and when the economy is opened up

In a year or two this could be like tami-flu.

Until then, remember it’s a prescription drug being prescribed (possibly) off label. It’s up to your health care provider. But, it’s great news.
