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.

My buddies and I are on a large yacht in Monaco, partying it up and laughing at you making an ass of yourself. I am successful and live a life of luxury. You are a loser and live in a shitty $1 house. I followed c6gunner's directions and verified that you really do owe back taxes on your dumpster of a $1 house. If I was an unemployed loser like you, I'd probably be angry and delusional, just like you are. Fortunately, I'm better than you, so I wouldn't sink to the level of losers like you. Go ahead, continue to show the world what a loser you are by spending your entire life sitting at your computer and posting angry spam to Slashdot and SoylentNews. My buddies and I are laughing our asses off at you showing everyone what a worthless loser you are, and that your life is completely wasted.

LOL! APK got so triggered by my post that he felt the need to write two angry replies, both pretending he's someone else.
It's so funny seeing just how insecure you are.

Seriously, APK is so angry and full of rage because he has a huge crush on Barb Hudson, but she rejected him because he's a loser.
