He’s correct if nothing changes but that’s not going to happen. First there is a vaccine on the way. Watch the UPMC (University of Pittsburgh) press conference, that was an academic show of “we have it and we know it”. The first human trials will be really soon.
Second the ramp up of production of hydroxychloroquine is just starting. Mylan pharmaceutical (WV) and others should be totally ramped up in a week. I don’t know why but NYers have to go to a hospital to get it. Others should be able to get a script from the family physician.
I don’t believe this economic shutdown will last much longer once effective treament is available to all with the vaccine following. I hope Trump the business man trusts his instincts on this.
No, human trials are not starting soon, JNJ just two days ago said they expected human trials to start in 9 to 12 months and be available in 15 to 18 months. And that’s assuming it works (safely)
