Antiviral drug Molnupiravir showing promise in trials against coronavirus

Reposting from 10 Tampa Bay YT Channel.

The United States will soon have oral drugs to treat the new coronavirus. People suffering from the new coronavirus took the drug at home for 5 days, the new coronavirus was completely cleared from the body, and the patient fully recovered.
The drug is translated as "Molnupiravir" (Molnupiravir), jointly developed by two major pharmaceutical companies, "Rigibel" in Germany and "Merck" in the United States, and has successfully completed the first and second phase clinical trials in humans. The effect is 100%; the current phase 3 clinical trial is nearing the end and the effect is very good. If it goes well, it will be available in the market within 4 to 5 months. The patient can take the drug by himself at home, and heal in 5 days, which is very convenient to use. Treating the new coronavirus in the future is like treating the common cold now. The new coronavirus is not terrible.

The drug was originally developed against influenza viruses. It is a compound, the principle is to prevent the virus ia enzyme, that is, to prevent the virus itself from replicating, so as to eliminate the virus quickly. The principle of the current anti-coronavirus vaccine is to target the flange of the new coronavirus, thereby preventing the combination of the new coronavirus and human cells. The principles of the two are different.

From March to April last year, a new coronavirus occurred in mink farms in the Netherlands and Norway, resulting in the massive death of millions of minks. The mink farm fed the mink with "Monapinavir". It was found that there was no new coronavirus in the sick mink 24 hours later. The mink farm quickly stopped the spread of the new coronavirus. Then the two major pharmaceutical companies will conduct the first phase of clinical trials on humans. After success, they will conduct the second and third phases of clinical trials. So far, they will be officially launched.

In short, this is a great achievement of the scientific community, especially the medical community. Maybe it will follow Valium, aspirin and penicillin as the four classic drugs.

Just wait a few months and only take the oral medicine on the market, don't get an injection.
