Why do you think it wouldn't be efficient for general use? Do you think it'll be expensive?

Why do you think it wouldn't be efficient for general use? Do you think it'll be expensive?
- diyseguy 4y agoI imagine spraying your nose every day with the stuff might get old in a hurry
- tiedieconderoga 4y agoEfficacy != Efficiency The former is a measure of how effective something is, in absolute terms. OP might mean that because the protection isn't complete or permanent, it might not make sense for an otherwise healthy person to use it unless they expect to be in close quarters with a lot of possibly-sick people. Too early to say, ofc.
- jamilton 4y agoI guess I was assuming "efficiency" because if it's not effective, why would anyone use it?
- tiedieconderoga 4y agoSame reason as any other medicine: because it's effective enough to be worth the costs. Almost nothing is 100% reliable or effective in biological systems. In this case, the initial promising results are from a small study in mice (check out OP's source). Anything could happen in the clinical trials.
