Our only hope is for a combination of treatments that will keep you alive

should you contract the virus and need hospitalization. Maybe not a total cure, but you won't die. Life-saving treatment seems to be a more immediate, attainable goal than a vaccine.

A real president would be working with our allies to coordinate a global effort to find such a treatment. Such a coordination is needed so that we are not duplicating efforts, that we're selecting representative samples to test the treatments on, that promising results are subjected to peer reviews, that necessary resources are shared, and plans are put into place to roll out a treatment once discovered.

1. Or we can test with 1/hr turnaround, trace and isolate but Trump says that'll make us look bad. I ..

... don't know why there's a push in the M$M to bypass the simple thing of testing into either stay at home and go broke or work and die.

Test, test, test

2. As long as Trump is president, we will never test.

Maybe some states will do the testing, but it's not going to be nationwide. Trump has abandoned all leadership on the virus.

3. Thank you. It's good to remember that different medications work for different people. That's

totally true in ever application. So don't pin your hopes on only this or that...

4. Also lifetime problems after recovery and I do not particularly want to go thru the weeks of

pain and problems I am hearing just getting the thing. Death is not the only downside. But I hear you on this. This is how I see it. The more time they have to get to know the virus, the better they will treat it.
