    Common Drug, Ivermectin, Found To Strongly Inhibit SARS-COV-2 Virus In Vitro

    ...”We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum antiviral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2),” the researchers write. “Ivermectin, therefore, warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans.”

    The leader of the research team, Dr. Kylie Wagstaff issued a statement, saying, “Ivermectin is very widely used and seen as a safe drug. We need to figure out now whether the dosage you can use it at in humans will be effective—that’s the next step,” Newsweek magazine reported. “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it.”

    “Ivermectin’s status as a drug that has already been studied and approved to treat other conditions offers a decided advantage over the development of new drugs, a long process that typically involves many years of studying safety and efficacy before being able to reach human patients,” Newsweek stated...

    The article does not go into it, but I suspect these researcher have used a technique I have seen demonstrated in a couple of TV segments on how they found other promising drugs to attack this virus and others in the past. That method is the modern method distilled down from how Thomas Edison found his filament in his lightbulb — he tried running electricity through a bunch of substances in a glass vacuum tube. In other words trial & error. The modern method speeds up the process of finding drugs that will kill or suppress bacteria or viruses by first growing a batch of the stuff in compartmented trays and using a robot in a sealed chamber to inject dozens and dozens of different drugs and substances in those separate compartments and seeing which ones harm the growth. Simple old trial & error carried forward into the mechanized age.

    We have a couple of kinds of this stuff. For our dogs and our horses. My wifes department.

    Her chore today is to build me a mask because I am going to the grocery store manana. I'm trying the curbside pickup. I want to look cool.

    I remember the days you couldn't go into a bank wearing a mask and gloves.

    Back in the day in the 70’s, when I was prosecuting in Texas, it was a felony to “wear a mask in public,” which was a law generated by KKK abuses after the Civil War (War Of Northern Aggression to Mike). Since then it has been modified to restrict the offense to only bad actors, but other states differ with some being pretty all inclusive.
