    Strict quarantine lockdown in the affected areas. And the citizens being more collectivistic than we are mostly complied. Immunity is still around 1% in Wuhan.

    The two drugs the Australians have had good results with are two of the same drugs mentioned in the Emma Freud tweet.

    The professor at the University of Queensland was very hopeful as they move to a larger trial involving 50 Aussie hospitals. They have tested the drugs individually (as have the Chinese) but the best results are when the drugs are administered together.

    A French/Vietnamese trial with two drugs has found a 100% success rate.

    Hopefully a vaccine is created and tested to be able to give to humans before the virus goes away seemingly naturally.

    SARS 20 years ago had all this talk of vaccines , 20 years later still no vaccine , not a lot of money in non-recurring viruses.
