Merck’s antiviral pill reduces hospitalization of Covid patients, a possible game-changer for treatment

An investigational antiviral pill reduced the chances that patients newly diagnosed with Covid-19 would be hospitalized by about 50%, a finding that could give doctors a desperately needed new way to treat the sick, the drug maker Merck announced Friday.

A five-day course of molnupiravir, developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, reduced both hospitalization and death compared to a placebo. In the placebo group, 53 patients, or 14.1%, were hospitalized or died. For those who received the drug, 28, or 7.3%, were hospitalized or died.

A simple oral medication to help treat Covid-19 has been an elusive goal since the start of the pandemic. Other drugs, including Gilead’s remdesivir, have also been shown to reduce hospitalizations if given early in the course of disease, but must be given intravenously.

Developed originally as an antiviral against flu, apparently, but still very new and was in late stage trials only a year ago.

The biomedical science innovations brought about by this pandemic could turn out to be quite profound.

If lunatics in charge are part of the problem then England won’t do better.

In England it's thieving liars that are the problem.

Some of you are brilliant at arguing about nothing. How about sticking to the topic.

Same in the supermarkets, maybe 10-20% still wearing masks.

I wouldn’t worry about it, despite Nicola’s best effort to prove how much more sensitive and caring she is than Boris, keeping mask wearing in law in Scotland is having very little impact on the habits of the population - in many places there’s 50% observance or less. Despite this, and despite our schools going back 2-3 weeks earlier than England, we’re not in the middle of a new wave.

Re: Coronavirus

Unless you were unvaccinated and in an “at risk” group, why would you wear a mask?
