COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

@sammymvpknight - thoughts on that Remdewhatever study/trial? Are we false starting again or is it legit?

I've thought all along a solid treatment would be a game changer and that normalcy doesn't really require a vaccine. I'd have no problem knowing that I'll eventually get Covid if I know that I won't die from it. I'd start living life again tomorrow (whilst staying away from anyone I know that's at risk or old) if there was a strong, proven antiviral available.

I've never understood the "we're in this until we get a vaccine in a year" take. It seems the fastest way to normalcy, outside of the Governor Hot Wheels #YOLO approach, is something that knocks the virus down to where it doesn't threaten the majority of the healthy, under 70 population.
Still way too early to tell but it does show some promise. Didn't do much to keep people from dying in the early trials but the people that got better did so on average about 25% faster which is a big deal for hospital capacity. A lot more trials are underway and we'll know for sure before the fall.
