Random, I think it’s chloroquine, but they are also doing others,
That’s the one though when at trumps conference, he announced trials, and the female, I’m unsure of her role, said it’s us and the Uk trialing this one, so BritS might be interested. The Uk then said we are doing our first human trial, but didn’t name the drug.
It does seem though all countries are trialling anti virals, different ones, to treat at different stages, and then sharing the info globally.
Looks like the USA numbers haven’t halved, but they have flat lined.
In addition the professor from imperial college who is responsible for advising the government has said, in their view, if we keep this lock down up, the nhs will not be breached in their view, some areas will be stretched to capacity, but over all it won’t be breached and the death toll could be much lower than the 20k. In their view this could be over by Easter. The peak could be in the next few days. He has not said it in light of yesterday’s numbers, he said it well before they were announced, and he still didn’t think we had hit the peak.
However, as the who said, and I think this is critical, no country wants a resurgence. They don’t want to release their people and then go back into lock down with the same or an even worse problem.
So countries need to work out how to very slowly release restrictions whilst watching what occurs.
It’s also likely by Easter, we will be much further on in our testing ability, potentially even testing for antibodies, and clearly the world medical and scientific community will have much more knowledge on anti virals and their success by that time.
Overall this is very fast moving, very fast, and it’s very hard to predict what will occur.
