A pill to treat Covid-19: 'We're talking about a return to, maybe, normal life'

Within a day of testing positive for covid-19 in June, Miranda Kelly was sick enough to be scared. At 44, with diabetes and high blood pressure, Kelly, a certified nursing assistant, was having trouble breathing, symptoms serious enough to send her to the emergency room.

[....] But the Kellys, who live in Seattle, had agreed just after their diagnoses to join a clinical trial at the nearby Fred Hutch cancer research center that's part of an international effort to test an antiviral treatment that could halt covid early in its course.

By the next day, the couple were taking four pills, twice a day. Though they weren't told whether they had received an active medication or placebo, within a week, they said, their symptoms were better. Within two weeks, they had recovered.

"I don't know if we got the treatment, but I kind of feel like we did," Miranda Kelly said. "To have all these underlying conditions, I felt like the recovery was very quick."

[....] At least three promising antivirals for covid are being tested in clinical trials, with results expected as soon as late fall or winter, said Carl Dieffenbach, director of the Division of AIDS at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is overseeing antiviral development.

"I think that we will have answers as to what these pills are capable of within the next several months," Dieffenbach said.

An effective treatment would be great for those who get covid despite the availability of, or even having received, vaccinations.

    Odd I have a receipts from city/county/school & water EACH full paid from my last quarters in Jan/April/July 2021 & my next quarter's NOT DUE until November 5 2021 stupid (which I have in my wallet ALONE already right on me now, stupid).

    Your back taxes are from 2020. Nice deflection. You owe $57.75 in taxes from 2020, plus $2.32 in penalties.

    P.S.=> Hey loser - do you even OWN a home of your own OR are you TRULY a TROLL that lives under a bridge with the other heroin addicts? I bet the latter! ANSWER WITH PROOF of your lies bullshitter - of course, you won't. You have no assets, & probably no job worth a damn either is my guess, but we'll see (you run)... apk

    Says the individual who lives in a house he bought from his daddy for $1. Your daddy paid for the house, then essentially gave it to you as a gift. What would he think of you owing back taxes on the house from 2020?

    You CAN'T close out a prior tax year minus paying in FULL on it, dummy. You lose. I.E. They won't even let me pay up THIS year minus closing out LAST YEAR dumbo. Yes, you are a homeless heroin hobo, obviously, since YOU DON'T KNOW how quarterly taxes work stupid.

    * AMAZINGLY STUPID of you but who expects MORE from a no good loser like you?

    APK

    P.S.=> Thanks for being SO stupid & what I paid is NOT what you see but then you know ZERO about taxes OR gifts OR even inheritances, now do you? Above all else perhaps is the FACT that me & MINE do thing well in life, even enough to leave homes to their kin (who DO increase a home's value AND HOLD ONTO IT - you are descended from FELLOW "CLOTSKULL" LOSERS obviously - penniless, worthless losers (like you, lol))... apk

      The city of Syracuse indicates that you owe $57.75 in back taxes, plus $2.32 in penalties. That is a fact, no matter how much drivel you post.

        Show us proof & again: You even TRY pay the next year? You get SHUTDOWN, even for $1 OWED DUMMY! They'll put you in tax seizure & auction your home if you owe them a dime afaik. SO much for your bs, homeless HEROIN hobo (lol).

        (Not that I care as I KNOW better having paid taxes for 13 yrs. myself: Fact: I've paid in FULL for THIS YEAR (1 quarter to go 2 months from now which I have in my WALLET alone right now no less - you don't) & again:

        Again: Let's SEE your PROOF "jealous JOWIE" (that's you whacko)!

        Above ALL else though?

        LMAO - You certainly don't when I ask YOU PROVE you have a home of your own - you EVADE THAT constantly, loser! I know you don't. You don't even UNDERSTAND how quarterly tax works, lol!

        (That's certain. You are a broke worthless LOSER descended from LIKE losers (worth nothing doing nothing but "clucking on forums" like the do-nothing ZERO clotskulls you are)).

        APK

        P.S.=> Fact remains that ANYONE who pays quarterly tax KNOWS you can't close out a PRIOR YEAR minus paying it down IN FULL any tax owed whatsoever - which I have OR I couldn't pay this year (which I have - I am a GOOD CITIZEN who does his "CIVIC DUTY" paying taxes - you obviously don't & what PISSES ME OFF is welfare suckers like YOU I waste monies in taxes on so you can LEACH THE SYSTEM, which you OBVIOUSLY do considering you don't even KNOW HOW TAXATION by quarter works)... apk

          Here's the proof:

          1) Go to the Syracuse property tax records page: http://ocfintax.ongov.net/ImateSYR/search.aspx?advanced=true&cty=SY [ongov.net].
          2) Enter your first and last name. Once you do so, the button at the bottom of the form will show "Go to the property" instead of "Submit." Click the "Go to the property" button.
          3) Near the top of the page, it shows a property number. The number is a link that you can click for tax information.
          4) Near the bottom of that page, it shows a summary of delinquent taxes due. You can click on "Details" for the back taxes that are owed.

          Anyone who knows your first and last name can see the back taxes that you owe.

          You've doxxed yourself plenty of times, but I won't post the necessary information to dox you.

          It's a fact that the city of Syracuse shows that you owe back property taxes.

            LMAO you're FULL of it & see below & answer with proof YOU own a home let alone for decades as I do (+ even IF I owed a lousy ~ $63 which I don't? I'd PAY it - they'd MAKE me & If I refused it'd be a hearing with them in courts, but I don't owe them squat... but YOU? Well, that's a LOT OF HEROIN MONEY you can't live without apparently... then again PROVE you own a home, heroin junkie - ok?)

            LOL - you won't answer SINCE YOU DON'T, lol - loser.

            Again, there's NO WAY they'd let me pay on 2021 (which I have up to next quarter & that's in my wallet alone right now). I'd end up in tax auction even for a dime. That's now it works boy.

            "DOX" myself? Vs. worthless do nothing forums DIX like you, penniless loser?

            I have NO FEAR.

            Especially since you demonstrate you are truly, without assets/worth, period.

            FACT.

            APK

            P.S.=> AGAIN: Please prove YOU own a home of your own, ok? You keep AVOIDING THAT (gosh I wonder why, not) & I wonder additionally - does the ongov page show my paying taxes for 2021 in full thusfar? Answer that too - this will be GOOD allowing you to SHIT ON YOURSELF, again (lol) - thanks... apk
