"Zhang Xinmin, an official at Chinas science and technology ministry, said favipiravir, developed by a subsidiary of Fujifilm, had produced encouraging outcomes in clinical trials in Wuhan and Shenzhen involving 340 patients.

Patients who were given the medicine in Shenzhen turned negative for the virus after a median of four days after becoming positive, compared with a median of 11 days for those who were not treated with the drug, public broadcaster NHK said."

From what I hear it's really only effective if you catch it early on though.

Might want to get used to it. Pandemics are going to become more recurrent in the next 20 years.

Why do you say that??

A mix of a lot of terrible decisions and policies that are being taken worldwide by incompetent and corrupt leaders. Add to that the ignorance and irresponsibility of people in general which isn't helping. Add to that that many countries are actively working on biological weapons. Ask China.

Furthermore, a lot of ignorant doctors prescribing antibiotics in many cases when they aren't needed. some of those imbeciles should really take 5 minutes to speak to a microbiologist sometimes. And then even more ignorant people who, when prescribed correct antibiotics, are not following their prescriptions rules and/or not taking the antibiotics for as long as they should, are ramping up how fast pathogens are building up resistances.

Also, all it takes is for 1 virus to get a nasty mutation to go from rather harmless to becoming a pandemic.

Considering that overcrowded cities with poor health conditions are also becoming more prevalent thanks to poor decisions of political leaders trying to cater to groups of nutsos, especially in Europe, things will get worse before they get better.

Now, the good news is that humanity tends to cook up pretty good solutions when its back is up against the wall, but call it a hunch of my part, what we've seen for the last month will be happening more often as time goes on.

TLDR: A mix of bad political policies and people being idiots in general.

viral transmission is an exponential factor of population size and/or density. If we had 24 billion people on the planet then even the common cold or chicken pox would be pandemic.

Yop. All it takes is one bad DNA or RNA mix and a virus can go from being a joke to a worldwide pandemic. Such a simple organism and yet horrifying at the same time.

So what's going on with this? Even if it's mainly effective early in, it's been tested and doesn't seem to have side effects. Mass produce that shit.
