    I know some will be resistant to the site "Fox/Tucker Carlson" but he interviewed a immunologist DR. Jacob Glanville last night "I believe" and is claiming he has and antibody solution to COVID. Something similar to how Ebola is handled and its severity lessened..

    Anyway, watch if you like but the Dr. looks legit, but who knows..

    I watched that interview last night. I am buoyed by the fact there are a lot of private labs out there working on cures for the Chinese virus. This one looked very interesting.
    Stick around as there is no question someone will come along and condemn this man for his attempts at finding a way to mitigate the effects of this virus.
    If it does nothing, it is Trump's fault.
    If it works, it is Trump's fault because it was not available in January before the virus got to the US.

    I think the only way the Chinese virus will die is if it has dirt on the Clintons.

    This is a startup company using computational methods to accelerate the development of biologics. Biologics is a huge field in pharmacology that is becoming increasingly important. Humira is the most well know current drug that is a biologic. It is basically a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat RA, it inhibits TNF alpha. It was first developed by BASF in Germany. Drugs that end with "---mab" are monoclonal antibodies.

    This is a promising approach, basically mimicking immune response of the body, which also makes antibodies, but premature to call it a cure, Humira was first developed in 1993, and came to market in 2008. That gives you an idea how long it takes to go from an idea to something that works.

    BTW: They are taking donations. If you believe in it, give them your money. Will you?
