Take the following as info only. Please do your own research.
He said to me - stromectal (pharmaceutical name) for ivermectin has shown positive results in 60% of - non clinical - studies. TBC but was a lot more positive than anyone thought it would be.
The aids medication was 50/50 with testing and the maleria drug (chloroquine) is still being evaluated but has not proven to be as successful as hoped.
BUT he said (his info, not mine) the manufactures of tamaflu have had 100% success rate in lowering symptoms by at least 80%. They believe - they have a cure as a result. BUT - it’s all down to the $$$$ and FDA as to how fast they can / will proceed - as FDA are very strict on trials.
The CDC are seeking a waiver to the strict testing regime - but even if that’s successful, the manufacturers won’t pour millions into production in case, it falls over from an unknown - so best case for this particular drug being available - would be October.
Again and as above - this was conveyed to me privately by a high ranking medical practitioner. It is 4th hand info and should be treated as such. Do NOT go taking any medication without consulting your own medical ppl. I know nothing of his back ground in virology - he is a specialist in his individual surgical field.

I think very fast we are all going to be forced to learn more about the importance of patience, tolerance and cooperation

Possible scenio?,
Community transmission, which begs the question "how long has it been circulating in the community?"
Clusters of 'mystery tranmission" have been have found in Cairns, Townville and the Gold Coast.

Oh and the chances of being stopped and fined have gone up enormously. The police are stopping people on Peninsular Link in Vic stating they are too far from home and giving a $1650 fine.

A lone zebra is much easy to be picked off by a pack of wild dogs. Find other travellers on the roads and freeways and travel at the time most others do to avoid being the lone zebra easily taken by the pack of roaming HWP patrols ......

And sending them back with a registered warning on the system, caught again = upto 50k fines
