I never said it was any of that, just good news.
Yes, it is; but it has been good news since the 1960s.
Its use may be promoted more in standard of care for COVID-19, but most medical professionals in respiratory care are already aware of it and are utilizing it when appropriate.
The concern is that people will read these headlines and go "Oh, no worries, they have a pill for that!" and forget that we're still in a predicament where the surest way of saving lives is to prevent the spread.
For all of the good that these drugs and treatments can deliver, we need to remember that a large number of people infected will die despite the best standard of care currently available.
I'm not trying to dampen your hopes and enthusiasm, but I worry that many people are desperate for all of this to be over and are using anything to justify their return to normalcy, even if it is wrong.
