In my case, I'd say Covid felt like the most unnatural illness I've ever had and I can appreciate how people can die of it. If I'd had it for just a few days with the same level of symptoms at its worst, I'd have shrugged it off as no big deal, but dragging on for three weeks and not knowing when it's going to end is rough going. Given the choice of having flu or Covid again, I'd take my chances with flu.

With that in mind, I'm absolutely all for anything that effectively and safely stops you getting Covid or takes care of the illness after you've caught it, which is why I'd fully support the treatments which are presently being denied to doctors who know those treatments can work. We should be using all of the tools in the box if this is purely about health and saving lives, but if dark forces are deliberately trying to keep this virus going for as long as possible (as a reasonable threat to health) to shoe in some other agenda with plausibility denial, then they are doing a damned good job of it.
Which treatments are these?
