l think we are caught in the middle of a perfect storm of good news with the announcement of the covid pill.
...the Covid pill will reduce hospital admissions and is a medicine not a vaccine.
the news and projections given by IAG was before this covid pill announcement and l think now the projections can be brought forward with a return to a normality looking much quicker once approved.. now that the more severe symptoms for someone unvaccinated can be reduced by 89%... if the vaccine reduces symptoms by up to 90% and the covid pill can reduce symptoms of the remaining population that are unvaccinated by 89% then the populations of countries are going to be highly immunize against Covid...
Covid Pill Key takeaways:
the covid pill is intended for use soon after symptoms develop in people at high risk of severe disease.
Pfizer says it stopped trials early as the initial results were so positive.
The UK has already ordered 250,000 courses of the new Pfizer treatment, which has not yet been approved, along with another 480,000 courses of MSD's molnupiravir pill which has been approved in the UK.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid called the results "incredible", and said the UK's medicines regulator would now assess its safety and effectiveness.
The Pfizer drug, known as a protease inhibitor, is designed to block an enzyme the virus needs in order to multiply.
