>but not magic
It pretty much has been behaving like magic when it comes to preventing moderate cases from progressing to severe and death. Patients with severe ARDS and sepsis might not be saved 100% of the time but the point is preventing it from going there. Statistics are showing results that might as well be described as magical.
HAPPENING: THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END

>You have to keep in mind that hospitals have a huge incentive to get these patients out of their beds and get back to elective surgeries. They are losing a lot of money treating wuflu.
Hmmm this is a good point. Well, time to close out my short positions... If there is even a small chance OP is right then this will catch a lot of people with their pants down.

Didn’t the chinese use this treatment 4 months ago? Why is this news now???

Fake news ...plus I think it has to be taken early unfortunately probably doesn’t help people already dying

Lmao yeah go do that. One of the reasons the media is so desperate to cover this up is their short positions (not the pundits/journalists but the owners). They'll lose billions the day this truly breaks open.

Its very possibly a great weapon assuming you can test and get to the people early enough that it can be used and I agree that is a great thing.
Now ask yourself how many americans are going to get tested for the sniffles? Or will they wait until their lips turn blue and they are suffering from hypoxia to call an ambulance?
That is my point. I hope it pans out and it can be used where appropriate.
I would also like to see every american in a mask since asymptomatics can spread with ease but that won't be happening any time either.
We have both logistical and behavior problems that also need to be fixed.

I hope it does work but there really isn't a ton of data on it. I think NYC is testing on 1100 patients so if there are positive results this will be a godsend on keeping deaths low. But the unfortunate reality of this virus is that is has already spread around like crazy so lots of people will get infected

The only people that need to be tested when they get the sniffles are high-risk (old age, comorbidities). For everyone else this is less deadly than the flu (literally). That's a fairly small population of at-risk individuals, and there's no reason to keep the economy closed for them when we have an effective treatment and now a 15 minute test. Meanwhile as the young catch the sniffles and get over it, they inherit lifetime immunity, which develops into herd immunity, no vaccines required.
