Shouldn't there be more money for proven drugs against diseases by Covid-19

@Babale I used to be an assistant of the admin of another site (which doesn't exist anymore). The habit of welcoming new members has remained.

@MALUSE You are like an official guest greeter

Thank you for the welcome and the Guideline Rules. I will read them very carefully. Mylot is a good platform to start a discussion and see how others think about it.

@Flakes What for the moment is NOT at all sure if the treatment really worked or the patient recovered by himself as other did without the help of the medication.

I am not going to defend the treatment because I have no further interest in it, but the fifth patient had visibly recovered after the treatment and has been oxygenated for some time after which he was discharged. So the treatment has certainly been useful

@LadyDuck I have no idea if and how much money goes to the Swiss pharma companies. As far as I know, the most money goes to the procurement of a possible vaccine. The permission for the phase 2 study with 120 patients has been requested in Basel and has already been approved. Applications for the other countries in North and South America are still pending approval Estimated Study Start Date Aug 2020 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04414631

@Flakes It's always about power and/or money. But we'll see.

I agree with you in part, I believe that there will be a vaccine, the only question is when and that will be a matter of time. They were already well on their way with a vaccine against Sars-1 only that virus disappeared gradually. You mean that the benefactors spend for total package and not for intermediate solutions?

@Namelesss Yes indeed, for example, the billions for research into vaccines and medicines do not go to biotech companies in the Netherlands. Most of the money is used to purchase vaccines. Only a small part is available for research. But that money must also be shared with hospitals and universities. Is this recognizable or is it regulated differently in the United States?

@Flakes all I want is that we get back our old fearless life

@amitkokiladitya Yes we all want that, I hope you're going to be right.

It is true that it may pass quickly, but I am afraid that we will have to live with this for a while.

The main problem is that blood clots form, with blood thinners slowing your clotting of the blood, which can improve the patients' chances of survival.

@Flakes Thanks for explaining. I read something about this problem occurring with some patients. Has to do with an overactive reaction to the virus I suspect. One nasty bug.

@mynameiskate It is a virus that you hardly recognize on the outside, so your awareness of the virus is minimal and that is the treacherous one. But hope they find something quickly and that the money ends up in the right place to speed up the process of developing a vaccine

Yes the situation in Indonesia is very bad, the virus has spread to all provinces of the country. I hope that the figures will drop soon. Take care and stay safe.

@Flakes yeah, it is gone too far

I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but it is now clear that one should stop selling and consuming wild animal meat. You now see in the Netherlands that all mink farms are cleared due to contamination risk. Other countries should take an example of this.
