my thoughts are 50 years ago, there were no covid that's why it is C-19
just like hepatitis B virus was discovered in 1965, so you are telling me to use the drug before 1965 to treat B.... can it really work?
is our equipment getting more accurate or there is more virus on Earth now? what do you think?
Good question, but its beyond my expertise.
Luckily however, we have abundant of information and good sources to read up about it.
There are some things I could comprehend on a simple level that makes sense.
I don't blindly believe in any medicine, but a research study in vivo does help me see a clearer picture.
Killing a virus has many ways.
Fire kills anything.
Acid corrodes carbon-based materials.
But doesn't mean its the best way of killing a virus.
I totally agree that newer technology pave the way for better medicine and better treatment. But to know for sure if an old medicine still works today is to continue doing researches and study on it. Unfortunately, clinical trials costs millions and are usually funded by private companies. We can't always expect our government to fund a million dollar study and expect nothing (financially) in return. Would be nice if we could.
