The variant should provoke symptoms faster than the Delta-4, and respiratory stress happen fast at the onset.
No word on how the models were designed. No word on how they know there will even be a "deadly" variant, and how it will even act if it doesn't even exist right now.
I'm flabbergasted.
The only silver-lining I can see from this prediction, is that if it's deadlier and faster to show symptoms, then it will be easier to contain and accelerate the end of the scamdemic, as the big problem of the 'rona is the relative silence allowing "asymptomatic spread".
That's the other thing, I've looked into HCQ. Raoult seemed on the right track, considering he's looked into the drug after the first epidemy of SARS/MERS, of which some studies pointed at CQ as a potential drug against them. I remember finding this study too.
The only double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial with a large patient pool (the gold standard of clinical trials) of HCQ I found showed no real difference between that and the placebo for patients treated with early COVID19. Granted, there's no AZ or Zinc. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-4207
Ivermectin, I found the site ivmmeta.com which lists no less than 60 studies, a lot of which are gold-standard as mentioned above, but that may play on my confirmation bias of "anything but those rushed so-called vaccine". How many such gold-standard studies are there still out there showing no real effect? I don't know. I'm not a doctor, and even now my faith in doctors has severely decreased.
I remember the Mediator scandal, a drug that was prescribed for type-2 diabetes which had actually no real effect. Officially, 500 people died from it, other counts are into the 1500 to 2000, and that led to its removal after showing its complete lack of effect and even its toxicity. Was it tested and approved by the authorities? Yes. And that scares the hell out of me.
