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.

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 if I owed on 2020 (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...
