but it does say they are ‘very well tolerated’- but is that just for healthy people? What about sickly elderly folks? So many questions

well the side effect of taking some drugs fro some people can be death sentence too- if it were defiantly a life or death decision ie the virus was going to kill a person- the chances of taking the drug and surviving outweighs not taking it- but since we don’t know if a person will die who gets the virus- the decision becomes more of an issue-

RE: yet ANOTHER story out of Australia with a miracle cure IF ONLY THEY HAD THE MONEY ...

OK, riddle me this — how can they do it without more funding?

[[These are know drugs, in use, and approved for a long time.]]

That’s true- but we don’;t know the precautions of them- sometimes ‘safe’ drugs can be deadly for some folks- but granted it’s usually a small % of folks-

“You take the early WA cases out of the equation and the mortality rate in the US is currently at .58%”

Okay, what exactly is the number of people who HAVE the Corona Virus?

Waiting...... NO ONE KNOWS. You CAN’T determine the “death rate” without knowing the number of infected.

Having said that, reporting a death rate determined by the known deaths and the “confirmed” number of infected is a FRAUD!

It should be based on an educated “estimate” of the number of infected. At least we know that such a number isn’t definitely WRONG as using the “confirmed” infected number is certainly NOT the true denominator.

Guessing that thousands more have the virus and don’t even know (over 85%) it, reduces the mortality rate by a lot. We know how many have died, it’s obvious. You add thousands to the surviving side of the equation and death rate plummets.

But known vs mortality is still providing a very low death rate in the United States if you remove the first early onset cases in an old folks home.

The HIV drug is apparently Kaletra, a combination of the HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir.

“OK, riddle me this — how can they do it without more funding?”

OK, how many legitimate medical research institutions in the U.S.fund themselves with gofundme funding, as opposed to say, grant funding by the big nonprofits, venture capital funding, or various government grants?

If these guys ACTUALLY had a CURE, the world would be beating down their doors to fund their research. Instead, they’ve got a donation site that has collected only $30,000.00 so far.

However, I’ve posted the donation link in case any FReepers wish to donate to their “cure”:

While you’re at it, find a cure for peripheral neuropathy. A real one and not just some snakeoil ointment.
