Can someone please ELI5 what makes this unique from others?
- eganist 5y agoReducing this quote mentioned elsewhere: > PF-07321332 is designed to block the activity of [a specific] enzyme that the coronavirus needs to replicate. Co-administration with a low dose of ritonavir helps slow [the breakdown] of PF-07321332 in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus. It's a two-part drug. PF-07321332 is the new and shiny thing that impairs a crucial enzyme for the virus, while the pre-existing drug ritonavir lets PF-07321332 last longer, making it more clinically useful. That's my take on it.

All of the other things that already work can't make them insane profits so, bought and paid for the news that you are fed tells you this is one of few valid ways to fight a virus you can dodge by staying in the sun for an hour each day and exercising your body.
