It’s a protease inhibiter like ivermectin and HCQ. Not many doses available yet. I really hope it works well and we can be done with covid. On a side note, Omicron came up so fast you have to wonder if good guys released it strategically. I had been thinking maybe anti-DS good guys but a friend just suggested Putin did it to stop rising totalitarianism in the West, something he fears. Maybe CCP did it because they are starting to feel the heat and anger of the West as more become aware daily that they are the ones most likely to have released covid. Omicron may be the same or very close to the virus CCP probably used to inoculate their own population in 2017-2018. And, like Putin, they would also not want a rising totalitarian West. ABN
