#1 When I had my heart attack the emergency room doctor offered that " blood-clot buster" pill and I signed the consent form. 30 minutes later the chest pain went away.
I ended up with two stints....
Treating tiny lung clots like that might be hit or miss...or just not enough time to clear them before death hits....??

#2 Gotta wait until the Federal authorities do full evaluations and decide what path is best before doing anything.
Or adopt 'Federalism' and let all manner of subunits try things on local levels and see if anything works.

#4 "I said, ’What do we actually have to lose?’" Poor said.

When it gets to that point, let the doctor take a shot.
