| 2021-08-15 |
Doing something useful instead of pointing out well-known problems. [EpochTimes] Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Aug. 12 that he is launching a Rapid Response Team to dispense monoclonal antibodies to tackle Florida’s rising number of COVID-19 cases and reduce serious symptoms, preventing the potential for hospital overcrowding."This is probably the best thing that we can do to reduce the number of people that require hospitalization," DeSantis said at a news conference in Jacksonville, adding that vaccines were strongly encouraged and were effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths by at least 70 percent. "Clear benefits to this early treatment is keeping people out of the hospital and reducing mortality," he said. |

| #1 Monoclonal antibody therapy is little known because of utter incompetence at the state and federal health authority levels dating back to the issuance of the EUA by the FDA starting last November. I sent a query to my state health department asking where these drugs were available, and did not get an answer. Just for curiosity I sent the same query to the SD state health department and got the answer the next day, which was along the lines of "We don't know, contact every hospital in the state and ask them." So at least SD answered my query unlike my own state. |
