Popular Post saakura Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 Not sure if it is already reported here on TV, but Bangkok Post headline news is reporting that 2 doctors in Ratchawithee Hospital in Bangkok have been successful in finding a cure for the dreaded killer Wuhan Virus. They may be flying to China to report their success. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 They will be up for the Nobel Peace prize in medicine, like the other Thai doctors that found a cure for Aids, but were never heard from again. regards Worgeordie 4 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I'm not sure, based on the report, you could call it a "cure"... a treatment that was successful in helping the infected patient to recover, yes. The drugs they used are ones that China doctors and others around the world have been looking at as possible treatments for the virus. That the Thai doctors here were able to use them, in a particular combination, to help one patient recover is promising, but not exactly earth-shaking quite yet. For starters, let's see if the same treatment regimen can successfully be used on other patients. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hopefully true but I also hope its not a couple of well known generals in white coats trying to woo those Chinese dollars back into town???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 They're ain't no cure. They may have found a way to subdue it and bring patient back to health, but that and 'cure' are vastly different. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters, let's see if the same treatment regimen can successfully be used on other patients. Yes it probably is the same treatment as in China. Maybe the Chinese had lots of cases that recovered using this method. I forget the exact figures but something like 15,000 cases and 400 deaths. Thailand has had 19 cases and 0 deaths. Would this treatment give 0 deaths if Thailand had 15,000 cases? I mean... just because 1 person was cured doesn't mean it is a definite cure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two doctors research the MERS and SARS information 10 days already. Use that information to mix flu drug and HIV drug. The woman cure in 48 hours. The doctor now go to China to help and test on more people. See if it work on other sick people have corona. Many on this thread will mock, critisize and ridicule. Because it is Thai doctor. Sure. The doctor hope it will cure other people. They not confirm it will cure everyone. But they trying, not complaining, mock and ridicule. If it can successful will safe many life, stop many people get sick and help the world economy, many business from many country.

EricTh Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) I don't think it is really a cure, those are for earlier virus strain such as MERS. This is a new strain. That woman could be just lucky or didn't really have the same virus in the first place. 'Curing' one person isn't conclusive. You must cure at least 20 people with the coronavirus to be sure that it is not due to chance or other mistaken viruses or just flu. You need time to develop a new anti-viral drug and not use past drugs. Doctors in Thailand have given me false diagnosis in the past.

My analogy is when the US carpet-bombed the Ho Chi Minh Trail, it was only partially effective and didn't 'cure' anything. But loads of people were led to believe otherwise.
