Default Popular Veterinary drug has promise

Wife says to look for data coming soon on Ivermectin. This is a popular drug in the Veterinary business and in horses for treatment of parasites. I also used it in tropical fish back in the late 80's when I ran a discus and angel fish breeding business.

Some of the therapies that have been tried to date seem to have positive effects on SOME people. Not everyone will have a positive result with this therapy or that therapy. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquin have been helpful for some.

It's possible that we just have to learn to deal with this virus as the new normal going forward. I don't see it being eradicated in a year. But, we've gotta be able to identify therapies to help people while getting the country back moving again.

There’s a bit of a difference between a parasite and a virus.
