New COVID-19 pills may keep recently diagnosed patients out of hospital, company says.

Pharmaceutical company Merck says Molnupiravir, an antiviral, could reduce people's risk of dying from the virus.over five days, shortly after COVID-19 diagnosis, may slash the risk of being hospitalized or dying of the virus by 50%, according to preliminary results announced by pharmaceutical companies Merck and Ridgeback.

Right now, most COVID-19 patients are sent home and told to monitor their symptoms. Having an effective pill to offer them would"make a difference," Del Rio added. The vaccine status of the trial volunteers was not disclosed in the press release, but doctors say pills like this should never be taken as an alternative to vaccines, which have been tested in hundreds of thousands of people across massive clinical trials, and are the most powerful way to dramatically reduce the risk of being hospitalized or dying of COVID -- and reduce the risk of becoming infected in the first place.

"What we really need is the Tamiflu, if you will, for COVID-19," Dr. Todd Ellerin, the director of infectious diseases at South Shore Health and an ABC News Med Unit contributor, said."It's possible that molnupiravir could be the agent."

Budesonide. $20. It helps. A lot. Says Oxford. And The Lancet. Approved in UK. Shunned in USA. A mild steroid like US approved dexamethasone. Again, the UK actually 'follows the science' where as the USA follows politics, stupidity, and big pharma $$$$$

They couldn’t make money on Ivermectin so they came up with this synthetic version so they could patent it an rake in the $$$

Probably is a mixture of Antigripal and antinflamatory combine.. just like Dra.Maria Eugenia Barrientos-Tratamientos has been saying all along. And really works!

Clearly Merck is taking care of you all and found this equine med to push to get over the ivermectin story..

So what's the point of the vaccine 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

So you're touting a new drug, with limited testing, over older, cheaper drugs that have been field tested for years. Why? $cience.

Names of drugs are getting weirder & weirder. How the hell did they come up w/ this unpronounceable one?

I see a package of sausage, sorry

Read this last night, I hope it’s there now and affordable. It would be awesome to have something to fight this with.

If we wrap the pill with cheese, we might have a chance of getting anti-vaxers to take it!

There’s also some 2 hour fluid drip the hospital offered some woman who had tested positive for Covid when I was in the ER the other night. They said ‘her body was compatible with it’. What ‘it’ was… idk

What's inside, Ivermectin and HCQ, at a higher cost.? Big Pharma to the rescue.

Is hidin and the democrat/marxists gunna blacklist this like they did the other therapeutics, leading to tens of thousands of deaths? Add those deaths to the nursing home deaths and the democrat/marxists are directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

remember you all get vaccinated and wear a mask when needed and be a part of the solution and not the problem
