The game changer perhaps. And already showing that it works

The makers of an experimental drug, now being trialled by the NHS, say it is 100 per cent effective in protecting against symptomatic cases of the virus.

That combined with vaccination could kick this to the kerb... that would be a welcome relief.

Sorry to be the negative Nancy, but I'm going to wait for the data to be peer reviewed and published. Both Regeneron and Eli Lilly (another company who have been testing a very similar monoclonal antibody product) had issues with their trials. Both had to stop enrolling hospitalised patients in their trial due to "unfavourable risk/benefit profiles".

Regeneron then resumed only with hospitalised people on low flow oxygen, so not people on high flow, CPAP or ventilators. Eli Lilly ceased trialling in anyone hospitalised at all.

It does seem that both monoclonal antibody products have significant impact on viral load and reduce symptomatic periods of illness, but the drug would need to be given very early on to have the desired benefit. It would seem that by the point of hospitalisation, they would not be suitable.

BUT, let's see what comes out of peer review. At the moment, Regeneron haven't actually published their data/findings in full.

Hopefully turns out to be useful.

But arghhh, experimental drug, that means I'll have to wade through tonnes of bile on Facebook by the conspiracy people.

Could be as simple as taking the anti- parasitic medications that seem promising at the moment!
