ALL

A pill (or other form of therapy) easily accessible to an average person, that one can take after the onset of symptoms of a common cold.

It should clear the symptoms of a common cold within 24 hours and have uncontroversially fewer side effects and complications than the disease itself.

I cant wait until we will measure the accessibility of such therapy for the average person of the year 2035

Should be easy if leftists have their way.

Would it be sufficient if it only supressed the symptoms but did not cure the actual infection?

Also, what would you count as "accessible to an average person"? Does this mean > 50% of the worlds population?

predicts YES

@sadonok At least as accessible as weed. In rich countries.

I will say symptom suppression counts, but it would need to be total, without increasing the risk of complications, without requiring one to reduce the level of activity, without diminished energy.

Would a vax you take before any exposure count? Sounds like no?

predicts YES

@StrayClimb That will be a „no” for this question, might have phrased it differently.

predicts NO

@lukres Does the cure need to be approved by the FDA?

predicts YES

@Gabrielle If it is "easily accessible to an average person" despite the lack of FDA approval, it will count!
