You can get them here too if you can find a GP willing to prescribe them off-label. $20 for a box of 100 tablets. 1 course = 10 tablets.

I wonder how our government will respond....
GovCo hasn’t been talking about vaccines or cures much at all. Finding a cure is a bit like watching the evening channel 7 news, every week on-queue they have some new story about a revolutionary cure for cancer being developed and it is just around the corner (just around the corner = 5 years away).

Not ruling out Trumps claims but there needs to a consistent approach and willingness from numerous Health departments to trial these drugs and then quickly either confirm or not confirm. Unfortunately the “not invented here and must be junk” mentality prevails amongst some of the medical fraternity.
