Sounds promising.

Indeed it does. I had heard of this drug a week or two ago from a chap on twitter that I check up on every few days as he tends to stick to the purely scientific element of things and usually posts positive sounding things vs the doom and gloom we mostly are exposed to. @therealcolmryan if you have any interest. His Dublin based company also invented a 15 minute test in early March which seems to have disappeared into the aether (for no reason i know of) in this country at least despite him saying it was ready to go in mid March. But nonetheless this one has sounded promising for a while and I wonder about the motivations of the WHO in pushing out the results of the Chinese study where it wasn't proven to work.

Chinese data indeed. They fucked up the rest of the world with their doctored stats. The Chinese government should be punished for lying about such a serious issue.

I think the WHO should be similarly punished for their part in all of this. The more I look into their response and follow the trail of breadcrumbs the more dicey and complicit they are looking.

Apparently simply getting stoned won't do the trick, unfortunately
