100%. I mean there's no doubt in my mind I'd be asking for this if I had a loved one on the verge of death but I wouldn't be looking to it on day 1 until it's tested more. The reality is that 99% of people will make it through C19 without treatment and this treatment, if applied wildly, would have a greater than 1% side effect rate. It might be that in advanced cases it's not as effective if done as soon as symptoms begin. There is no data on this and that's why doctors are skeptical. Not that it won't be a great too but there are too many unknowns for this to be a first line of defense. Staying home remains the only reliable weapon we have.
Agreed. Its just nice to know that theres a widely available drug that can be used as a backstop against the death toll and that big pharma isnt going to be able to price gouge for it.
