    Okay, so I’m paraphrasing...

    I was listening to a podcast about the Famotodine trials (it really is interesting and promising based on both observational data and a deeper dive in the science and modeling) when the guy running the trial brought up an interesting problem. Since the crest, this particular hospital doesn’t have enough patients for their first study. They needed 320 and are at around 210. This is causing a serious delay. They are reaching out to other hospitals, but it’s possible that they may run into competing trials...It was a quick little part of what was an informative briefing and he tried to cover it up a minute later, but he did seem honestly annoyed at the lack of patients...

      The other good part about more people getting it is you start working on herd immunity. I don't think the hospital overruns have ever materialized through this pandemic like the smart folk thought they would. Hospitals are mostly lying barren from what I understand.

      Education is extremely important.

        An antacid is going to cure this?

        Guess I will have to read the article. Sigh.

          Didn't want to listen to podcast, so I googled. This is actually quite interesting.
