Therapeutically administered ribonucleoside analogue MK-4482/EIDD-2801 blocks SARS-CoV-2 transmission in ferrets

This is an interesting study using ferrets and has been advanced to human consideration. 

What do you think?

I think the article above had the drug's name misspelled - it's Molnupiravir. 

I found a similar article from a different source. Sounds really really promising!

Well, next will be human trials, if they haven't already started. I'm pretty optimistic it will have good results.

And this is the end of that. Haven't heard a peep again. 

I'm sorry but I don't trust Big Pharma. 

All promising breakthroughs seem to magically vanish. Poof. Never to be heard of ever again.

Well , I guess Molnupiravir is about to get approved for use soon. I can't say I'm not happy!!
