I'm curious to learn more about how well we can ramp up production and distribution of such drugs in the event of a fast-moving pandemic. With Ebola you have 1-2 weeks after symptoms before death is likely. You have a few more weeks after exposure, but you might not know you're exposed and I would assume the treatment needs time and can't save you at the last minute. If everyone around was clamoring for treatment, could you get your hands on it that fast?
- i_am_nomad 7y agoSorry, I don’t know much about large-scale production of that type of compound, it’s not my field. But, I would question the premise, in that Ebola is not a likely candidate for a fast-moving pandemic.
- TallGuyShort 7y ago... well now I'm curious to what the likely candidates are :) This is one of those topics I could just sit and learn about all day, I think it's fascinating. If you or someone else in your research group were willing to do an AMA, I would thoroughly enjoy that.
