shown it to be effective in rapidly "eliminating" mild to moderate Covid-19 symptoms after three days of treatment,

symptoms not infections.

With Omicron , in NZ now only need to isolate for 7 days.
I know a few (vaxed) people who tested positive & had very mild symptoms .

So whats the point of a drug that has beggar all effect , and isnt needed . 3 days , vs 7 days .
And that new drug still has to be fully tested / peer reviewed , and proven as safe .

Its 2 years too late :)

Are you guys not reading the news? Lots of people are dying of covid in NZ and Aust, the infection rates are high and the long term effects of even a mild case can be debilitating and no cure so far it seems.

People are not better in 7 days and not passing it on to others that's just rules the government has slacked off on as they try to disguise that the pandemic is out of control and we are all going to get it with no real effect like increased immunity as this does not give one immunity from further variants necessarily.

Ever since the rules were dropped and the virus spread about 14 or 15 people a day on average have died from complications associated with covid.

In fact there is very little anyone can do. Trying to maintain the illusion that we are in control is the best the government can do.

The infectiousness is up and the virulence has reduced lets hope that trend of reduced virulence continues.

Yes they are. From people I know who very recently had it .
My friend didnt even infect his wife or son with it .

The death rate in NZ is very very low. Compare to death rates for bad flu outbreaks .
Dont go by scaremongering news media .
We have seen what a nonsense the projections & predictions were , for Omicron .

Covid in NZ is now almost a non issue for healthy vaxed people

315 Dead over 2+ years . For a population of 5Million.
That would be one of the lowest causes of deaths in NZ

facts. not fear .

1485286 2022-04-03 23:57:00 315? I want to hear how many have died FROM, not with, Covid. I bet it's much lower than what the gnomes want us to believe. Bryan (147)
1485287 2022-04-04 01:41:00 Yes of course lots of people will have a more serious ailment that they are battling with and may last for a few more years but covid pushes them over the edge, so to speak, and is to blame for their premature demise.

Glad to know it's all just going to be alright.

Covid-19 Surpasses 1918 Flu to Become Deadliest Pandemic in American History, so I'm not sure why you are dismissing it as a minor threat.

Quote: “Remember, we’re still counting,” Morens tells STAT News. “In 1918, the pandemic became not so deadly within two years. We have no idea — I don’t, and I don’t trust anybody who says they do — where this Covid-19 will go.”
