Dear Sandy

Good morning !🙏

We are talking about two different things here!

(1) One is vaccine as you said everybody anxiously waiting for a preventive and proactive measure!

Hopefully, the vaccine would be successful at one shot..... and approx 8 billion doses would be required to cover the entire world .....

(2) Second is a treatment plan for the ones who are currently sufferring from Covid19 infections...and as of today there is no standard treatment plan... Nations are just having their own trial and error / Hit & miss methods of drug administration ......some country is using HCQS, and some are using a HIV drug/existing anti-viral drug, some one is using Remdesivir and some one is trying with Blood plasma from Antibodies from Covid19 cured person....

So there is a need for a standard treatment plan ... and USFDA seem to have given an interim solution fir Remdesivir based upon human trials by Gilead.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy !
