I think the idea is to take the antibody treatment like a vaccine until an actual vaccine is made. Everything has side-effects and costs, but what's been shown is pretty promising. And this is not like the hydroxychloroquine scenario.
Ok. But at what point would a dr prescribe you such preventative? And treatments also have side effects. Not to mention costs.
In other words its similar the chloroquine scenario. I would not take it unless I have bad symptoms and theres nothing else to take

^I'm sure it will be totally cheap and widely available.
I have my doubts that a magic pill will be widely available anytime soon.
Id give it 6 months min.
Probably not
What was the point of this exchange? Do you think you accomplished something?
Woah hostile much? Relax, madam.
Not hostile at all, just asking a simple question.
Just a lil hostile, tbh.
If you say so sweetcheeks.
Thanks, ma'.
Meanwhile, one prominent epidemiologist was highly critical of the letter and its assertion concerning premature mortality, calling it "damaging and unfortunate."
Dr. David Fisman, an epidemiology professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, told QP Briefing the letter writers "are out of the loop and don't have the standing to speak about mortality," as the only reason deaths under age 50 have been relatively rare is because public health interventions have been successful.
"I think you can look south of the border and see where the approach they advocate leads," he wrote in an email. "In the U.S., which has had a less aggressive control response, they're at 2.5 Vietnam wars worth of casualties (130,000 deaths) since March," he wrote. "Those deaths occur in all age groups, though mortality takes off sharply after age 50."
In contrast, Canada is doing relatively well in a difficult global context, with economic and social life reopening as COVID-19 becomes more under control, Fisman said.

Bwahaha thldren pwned again
WHO revises things that we already knew
- its airborne
- asymptomatics can transmit it
- everyone should wear a mask
I been calling alm these since early January
Called it
Ireland also admitting overcount of covid death.
Effectively, it concludes that we have overestimated the death toll directly attributed to Covid-19 by 637 people.
When one considers that the total deaths attributable to the virus during the period of the HIQA analysis was 1,709, it's an overestimation of quite a very large amount.
The implication then is that the official daily figure which was 1,709 may overstate the actual excess deaths due to Covid-19 by 59.4%.
There are a few reasons why that surprising outcome may have occurred.
The first is that since the middle of April, Ireland is one of the very few countries in Europe that has included suspected or probable Covid-19 deaths in our overall totals alongside deaths confirmed to have been caused by Covid-19.
Perhaps many of those probable and suspected cases may not have the virus in the first place.
A second, which is referred to in the report is that - since we know that the vast majority of those who have died from Covid-19 also suffered from a range of serious underlying conditions, including heart disease and cancer - it may be that the actual cause of death in some such cases was the underlying condition rather than the coronavirus itself
Looks like Russia will be first
Should have available vaccines by end of year
Suppossedly they will share it with the world
China should be on same path or faster.
Sure I would not take one till its had 6-12 months age
But if I was an old man with cancer....
The WHO never said it was not airborne.
they said there was not enough scientific evidence
aerosols and stuff are very difficult to experiment on and get clear consistent results
The cir stantial evidence was overwhelming however, they were sticking with what happens with most other viruses. we do know the virus can become distributed as an aerosol, we do not know if this is enough to get the disease. cir stantial evidence says if you sit in a room with air that is not circulating for a long enough time that the aerosol based virus is most likely enough to get the disease
A proper leader would have told us the problems and explain this so people would not go all bonkers. Again this is not easy stuff
I think the evidence was there.
Just that it was also a political decision. It always is.
If they rule it airborne new directions would be included which would have made busisinesses completely close. Economies collapse even more. Etc
Bug maybe just maybe this would have been controlled.
Now its out of control
The WHO, as a result of 100s of scientists reporting so, are now saying it is airborne.
Yes they are.
Because the scientist that work closely with the aerosol science and climatology say that it is high probability.
NOW. Btw the scientist writing and urging them is partially how this is suppose to work. The WHO are not experts at everything.
They are not loaded with scientists who work with aerosols.
We did not know early on. We just did not. We thought it was contact with hands and or large stuff in the air.
Hindsight is always easy. Im not saying they have done everything correctly; its very difficult to move large organizations that want to be correct and not risk new ideas.
On the other hand its extraordinarily easy for an individual to make a you tube and call it truth.
You can ask TGY and Spurter all about that.
Gilead Sciences published new data Friday on its antiviral drug remdesivir that shows it reduced the risk of death for severely sick coronavirus patients by 62% compared with standard care alone.

originally, 25% to 30%, now up to 62%. Investors must have been complaining.
