Wouldn't that mean really close to herd immunity?

Yay I say especially since we'll be in phase 2 due to hypertension co-morbidity.

Finally a double-blind placebo study has been done and it shows that Ivermectin has huge benefits in curing those infected.

The study didn't focus on it but the results show that using Ivermectin at the beginning of one's illness could prevent deterioration and hospitalisation.

Ivermectin has been used in Africa in humans for elephantitis and river blindness for quite some time now.

100 participants is pretty small though. The Colchicine study had more than 4,000 participants. So I'd probably stick to that if I got it.

But anecdotally my 70 year old neighbours recovered after taking Invermectin.

Look if you're not doing so well and have comorbidities and find out you have Covid it can't hurt to take Ivermectin.
Small study or not evidence is building, but more studies would be welcome.

Since it probably is a bad idea to take two drugs I'll rather go with Colchicine due to the larger study. Already have it stockpiled for two people.

Anyway, hoping to get the vaccine in the next few months, I'd prefer the Johnson & Johnson over the Pfizer but will take either.
