- whatshisface 7y agoPresumably there are also people who die abnormally early. Unfortunately I have not seen what we really need to see: a breakdown of dead/recovered by day since infection. Without it there is no way to accurately assess the deathrate in an environment where new people are quickly falling ill.
- jdkee 7y agoThere is no evidence to date that anti-retrovirals are successful at treating this infection.
- chroem- 7y agoI'm sorry, but that's just plain wrong. The first US case at Providence Everett got well in a few days thanks to antivirals.
- cameldrv 7y agoMany people in China have been treated. There is an ongoing trial that is supposed to have results in a couple of weeks. Patients in the U.S., Korea, and Thailand have all been treated with antivirals and dramatically improved within a day or two.
