Interesting, I had read online about Ruxolitinib being a potential treatment for Covid-19

[socrates_8 in reply to Paul_1971]

Hey Paul...

Interesting indeed.. as everyone seems to be trying to repurpose a great range of proven drugs, including; HU, Interferon... & of course Ruxolitinib...

Stay safe & well buddy...

Excellent summary of what is currently known. Thanks for posting it.

Hope you are doing well Down-Under. My nephew who lives in Sydney had to go in lock-down when his roommate tested positive. He was away at the time, so hopefully he will remain COVID 19 free.

Stay well.

Hey Hunter...

You too my friend stay safe & well...

It's still really hard to know about how long all of this might take because of the way COVID-19 tends to flow in waves of transmission. I also have a sister in California, and other extended family on the east coast... Hopefully, they too are all well... Spoke with her yesterday, and they are more or less doing the same as the rest of us...

Take care buddy...

Steve
