Lot of mixed messages here. A talk show host is essentially saying this is cured with the malaria treatment. No one else is supporting that statement although Trump seems to be indicating it is at the objection of his health advisor. He's also saying this will not last months without going into details on why. I understand his position. There comes a point where the economy is more important than the lives of a small number of people. Not to be cruel but we cannot go back to the stone age because of this, what's the point, and we wouldn't survive anyway. Where is the fine line where more people die from the economy than the virus.
I would like to think he is going to force the FDA's hand and start using these drugs for treatment, they work and this is over is weeks rather than months or years. But we don't know that. Not knowing is the biggest issue I have. I am content to sit in my house for a few weeks, maybe a month but not six months. There has to be a point where we return to function.
The problem is this, any country that doesn't 'systematically' eradicate this virus will be effectively quarantined from the rest of the world, as after putting in huge efforts and paying a massive price, they simply won't let another country re-infect them.
