Based on your understanding, is this really a cure all? Which patients would benefit the most from this treatment? If you were sick with COVID-19 or a family member was, would you want to try this treatment?

ASSIGNMENT POSTED FOR MICROBIOLOGY INSTRUCTOR:
Because I used to work in medical research and was a head of a lab working with non-human primates in the causes for the development of heart disease in women, I am a believer in “real” science. I don’t like to see science misrepresented for political gain. Yesterday our President called a press conference to tout a new type of treatment for COVID-19 patients. He cited as fact some data that was not quite true. Here is the information from CIDRAP, a very reliable independent resource.

Write a 2 paragraph statement of what was wrong with the data as reported by the President, and what the correct data was. Based on your understanding, is this really a cure all? Which patients would benefit the most from this treatment? If you were sick with COVID-19 or a family member was, would you want to try this treatment?

A paragraph must have 4-5 sentences. Also, you must cite any reference you use other than this article.
