Okay, but counterpoint: what if there is no treatment.
"A more realistic hope is that researchers can one day offer physicians a kind of “how to” manual for long Covid with a battery of tests to pinpoint what’s gone wrong and, ideally, treatments."
If I have to hear in every article about how a treatment is coming while nobody talks about prevention, Then as a matter of policy I will repost this post periodically to remind that we may not ever have a treatment.
By the way, having a protease inhibitor that messes with the replication machinery of this virus is pretty darn good already. That's paxlovid
So we already have a pretty good drug to deal with this virus
How much more "treatment" do these people think we're going to find?
Do they think we're going to find a small molecule that's going to get into all the nooks and crannies and get rid of this virus?
Hey, I'm open to someone explaining the machinery we would target that would fix long COVID
@jmcrookston oh for real, they haven’t found a treatment for MECFS yet and that’s been around for decades, there are a few things here and there to help manage symptoms but as far as actually treating the disease, we’ve got nothing. Furthermore if the virus damages your organs, what treatment do they think they will have to reverse organ damage? Plus all medications have some kind of side effect wouldn’t it be better for the body to just not get infected in the first place?
I was just going to say "Says everyone with ME/CFS, ever." Thank you for pointing it out.
