This is great. Of the effectiveness is a as good in the long run, we don’t even need a vaccine since it’s no longer a high risk disease. It’ll be a flu like vaccination where elderly and at-risk people can be using it

  Everyone who can get the flu shot should be getting it. It's free in the US and takes a couple of minutes. It's not just for elderly or at-risk people, and even if you don't mind getting the flu spreading it can be dangerous.

I'm a little skeptical of the claims made in that post > If everyone in the world just did one thing differently, talking to their doctor about whether they should start fluvoxamine or ivermectin after they learned they were COVID positive, our hospitals and ICUs would be nearly empty today and there would be very few “long haulers.” Yes, there was a preliminary communication released recently in JAMA showing some evidence that Fluvoxamine treatment has clinical promise. You can read it here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2773108 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/27731... The results: "In this randomized trial that included 152 adult outpatients with confirmed COVID-19 and symptom onset within 7 days, clinical deterioration occurred in 0 patients treated with fluvoxamine vs 6 (8.3%) patients treated with placebo over 15 days, a difference that was statistically significant." Not bad results, but seems like a big jump to suggest that all doctors change their treatment procedures based on this study. I'm interested to see larger studies, especially with longer follow-up durations.

  You are right to be skeptical but it looks damn good. There is a clinical trial under way now with n=800. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04668950 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04668950

Hiya your link is great. But it would be awesome if you could include some information about it rather than "link bombing".
