This fascination with treating after you get it instead of preventing it in the first place is boggling - Reagen Aug 19, 07:57 4

- Every medication they give you for COVID is experimental. But at least you avoided the vax! -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 08:15
- Plus, being willing to have a 20-50 minute IV infusion rather than a couple of jabs. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 08:07
- It isn't real until it is, Reagen. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 07:59
Sounds about right. Jax is a hotspot, and DeSantis is fighting against masks and touting Mono-Colonial instead of getting vaccinated. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:42 5
- Even though it's FAR more dangerous to get COVID and try to treat it. - loosilu Aug 19, 08:17
- And yes, looks like it's legit -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:46 3
  - Well, people that go to libraries like to read, get more informed and educated and they don't really want that, do they? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 19, 07:58
  - Nate would fit in on ST: "sure, Regeneron, it's great. But also: Get vaccinated; mask in certain settings; don't be a dipshit. A layered approach." -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:51
  - ugh -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 07:49
I hope that's not legitimate -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 07:31 18
- Yeah. Also what is with the Regeneron stuff? I know really nothing about it. Is it to supposed to help those who have COVID? -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 07:32 17
  - Yes, it's antibody treatment, which the FDA authorized for covid a while back. The problem is that Regeneron is connected to a DeSantis campaign fund donor. -- (link*) - mara Aug 19, 07:35 15
    - So possible conflict aside, it's a legit treatment? Obviously NOT getting COVID is better, but this stuff is legit. Good to know, thanks! -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 07:42 10
      - I believe that's what my FIL got last winter because he couldn't be vaccinated yet and had open heart surgery earlier in the year. - spamlet Aug 19, 07:47 9
        
        very interesting, thanks -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 07:51 8
        
        It's the stuff they gave Trump as I recall. -- nm - pmb Aug 19, 08:12 7
        
        And Abbott. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 08:32
        
        Each dose is SUPER expensive. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 08:18 3
        
        Oh, it's free in Florida. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 08:23 2
        
        well, "free" for the receiver. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 08:46 1
        
        Ah, is the state paying for doses? -- nm - mara Aug 19, 08:49
        
        wasn't that hydroxychloroquine? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 08:17 1
        
        No, his doctors wouldn't have given him that. I mean, they're real doctors. He was at Walter Reed. -- (link*) - mara Aug 19, 08:28
    - "Records also show the Regeneron shares owned by Citadel represent 0.04% of the hedge fund’s holdings." -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 07:42
    - The donor is the Citadel founder. $15m in Regeneron is less than he spent in toilet paper for his yacht last year. -- nm - spamlet Aug 19, 07:39 2
      - I see both Spamlet and I wore our Show Me glasses this morning. - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 07:46 1
        
        You brought actual data. I just brought snark. -- nm - spamlet Aug 19, 07:48
  - helps people who have invested in that company -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 07:33
