For those taking Tricor to control high cholesterol, the medication might help to lessen the severity covid-19 symptoms.

Interesting perk if you're already taking it.
Not something I would recommend taking however.

This is what I take for cholesterol reduction. Is there some benefit to this medication for the virus? I read through the article but did not get any indication that is may be helpful in some way for virus protection.

Let's start the week with something POSITIVE. Bon Jovi... "If you can't do what you do, do what you can"...

And some more good news although only a small study of 100 patients...

I thought that by now we would be hearing outstanding news regarding Remdesivir. The silence is deafening.

I follow the results for Jiquilpan, Mich. It has gone from 2 to 16 in a couple of weeks. This probably reflects what is going on in the rest of Michoacan. Zamora has 228 and Michoacan has over 8000.

Ferchrissakes! Give your head a shake. It is NOT the total of CONFIRMED POSITIVE cases that tell the WHOLE story. Are the stats perfect? No! But you have to look at the ACTIVE cases and the RECOVERED cases.
Just for you Jreboll...

by Jreboll Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:35 am

None of the stats are real. Trends are more believable. When the trends change and there is no underlying reason for the change or when they don’t move when they should be moving then you start to suspect something is wrong.

by ferret Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:45 am

They most definitely seem to be real here. YMMV.

Great job in the U.S...

A stat is generally enough to indicate a trend.

More crap to consider... the Covicane.

UK has such a high mortality rate that it is difficult to take anything they say seriously.

For people who like details -- here are two sites that have, in one place, info on and status of clinical trials on Covid therapeutics and vaccines. Updated weekly.
