Very interesting. Particularly as the Chinese seem to have founded interferon B as one of the two treatments to position. Great post.
'China’s government has issued a directive with guidance to that end, recommending doctors should try two different treatments.'
'One is the combination of drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS. The drugmaker, AbbVie, was quick to promote the concept of a clinical trial for coronavirus last week.'
'The Chinese directive recommended two doses of inhaled interferon per day for coronavirus patients.'
'In 2003, Fish was the interferon expert on a team of doctors who tried the treatment on SARS patients in Toronto. Though they didn’t conduct a formal study, they found the patients given interferon got better quicker than those who weren’t.'
'Though China’s directive is to try interferon, it’s not part of the global response to the virus.'
