Merck says its new pill cuts down COVID's worst effects - Merck says experimental pill cuts worst effects of COVID-19
Interesting. Following a rabbit hole, this pill seems to be made in part from famotidine (brand name Pepcid) - AAAS (there's also mention of the dreaded hydroxychloroquin in this article!)
There is some actual science to support this: Famotidine Use is Associated with Improved Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: A Propensity Score Matched Retrospective Cohort Study Thailand noticed this but apparently in the U.S. there wasn't much mention of it: COVID-19 Drugs: Study Shows Common And Cheap Heartburn Drug Famotidine Improves Outcomes Of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients - Thailand Medical News And also Zyrtec! COVID-19 Treatments: Study Shows Using Dual Antihistamines Such As Cetirizine And Famotidine Helps Pulmonary Symptoms In COVID-19 Patients - Thailand Medical News
Makes me wonder about gut health vs. whatever COVID's made of! Perhaps @haidut could comment?
