Dear Akuperma,
We do not have herd immunity for the flu, even though we have been exposed to influenza pandemics for over 500 years. The leading drug for covid is remdesivir. It was designed for Ebola, and proved safe but ineffective. So, the cost of the drug was never covered. Any old drug that gets approved, will be after a very expensive study on it’s effect on coronaviruses. The demand will drive up the price even it turns out to be penicillin. Hydroxychloroquine has seen a major increase and decrease already.
