Finally, an oral anti- COVID viral medicine becomes available for FDA to review.

It is very impressive and promising indeed.

Scientists at Merck obviously did a good job.

Hopefully, the price of the drug will be reasonable.

The defense against Covi-19 (or any infectious diseases) will be based on two things;

the first by immunization with vaccination and the second by treating with antibiotics.

Now, we seem to have both defenses available to us. Wonderful...

In America, as there are a bunch of idiots who refuse to get the vaccination,

this, molnupiravir, gives us great hope that we may be able to get away from the threat

of Covid-19 and gain the freedom that we had lost for the last two years.

If Merck's medication works as well as it claims, it will be a potent weapon for us.

It will turn the deadly Covid-19 into just one of the flu.

I admire Merck to have produced an antiviral medication so quickly. I pray it works!!

By the way, in optimism on Merck, I bought 500 shares of Merck stock yesterday AM.

Couldn't agree more, doc!!!

Hope we could move around from the next year with no further restriction to sparing not many years left for us.

I might be able to organize the trip to Hunza Valley, my life-time dream, though my wife would throw the fits - she hates me to go to India/South Asia as much as China!!! 

But what can I say, after all, I would die once either at home or on the road and I am getting sicker with housebound life! 

No sirreeeeeeee!
