Unless those treatments also ensure you can't spread the disease while recovering that actually sounds like an absolutely terrible idea to me.

- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoWhile that's true, we don't want people out and about while virulent, reducing severity and recovering faster doesn't sound like a terrible idea to me at all.
- vanderZwan 6y agoMy point is: what does "recovery" mean in this context? Feeling great but still being virulent during the same period? To give an analogy, I can take painkillers to suppress pain but my body is still as sick as before - it "only" affects my perception. Now, I'm not against easing symptoms in itself but given how many people I know who go to work while coughing I don't know how to feel about medication that only helps with perceived discomfort. (then again, I'm in Sweden where barely anyone seems to take covid seriously, sadly)
- anoncake 6y agoNeglecting mental health and education to protect people against Covid infections at all costs is disturbingly common. But neglecting people actually suffering from Covid, that's an original absurdity.
