I disagree

"There is NO CURE. The drug is being tested. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better."

These three drugs have been tried, and have had stunning effects. While it's true that the drug(s) are being tested, they are backed by scientific/medical knowledge of how they work, and how they will attack the coronavirus. This knowledge is backed by medical doctors trained in treating virus diseases. If you have facts on why they won't work, then you can say there is NO CURE. In that case give us that information. Otherwise, just guessing that there is NO CURE is a disservice.

Even though things will get worse, there is no suggestion that they will get a lot worse. South Korea turned their coronavirus attack around in a matter of weeks. Within a short time of reporting their first case, they were getting thousands of fresh cases DAILY. But with aggressive measures, such as Trump is doing, the cases started drastically dropping, and this Sunday they had only 65 new cases.

And now in addition to aggressive measures, we have three medications with known methods of attacking the virus, to help in stopping the virus.

AS FOR HOW THIS WILL AFFECT NAK, IF THE VIRUS IS CURBED, AND AMERICA'S INDUSTRY STARTS TAKING OFF, THE FALLING METAL PRICES WILL REVERSE AND SHOOT UPWARD AND SO WILL NAK!


For everybody's information, I will repeat a previous post of mine:

There are three drugs that are now available in America to combat coronavirus, thanks to Trump cutting through red tape to get their use approved. These are not untried, experimental drugs, but three well known drugs that have been used for other diseases and are known to be safe. Because they are known to be safe, and effective, that is the reason that President Trump has expedited their approval for their use against the coronavirus.

In China multiple drugs were tested, and one drug, Chloroquine phosphate, an anti malaria drug, that has been around for over 50 years, and is known to be safe, was “highly effective” at inhibiting replication of coronavirus in cell culture, and then in human trials. Chloroquine raises the pH in lysosomes inside people's cells, and this interferes with viruses’ attempts to modify the lysosomes, a prerequisite in the coronavirus's ability to infect the cell. The researchers found that Chloroquine phosphate was effective at inhibiting the virus as it was both entering and exiting cells.

When malaria gets into a cell, and you change the cell's pH with chloroquine phosphate, the malaria can’t live. Knowing that changing the pH of a cell's lysosomes would interfere with the ability of the virus to infect a cell, it was tried on the coronavirus, and was found to be effective in stopping the viruses replication. A researcher said, "If you change the pH, the virus cannot assemble, and if can’t assemble, it can’t affect you.”

The coronavirus invades cells by attaching to receptors on the cell's surface. Sort of like a lock and key. Chloroquine interferes with the coronavirus' ability to attach to receptor's on the cell membrane surface. Chloroquine disrupt's the lock and key mechanism of attachment, and so it helps prevent the coronavirus from entering the cell, as well as preventing its replication once it enters the cell. A one-two punch. This makes it even more effective in fighting the coronavirus.

In 2003, a combination of ritonavir and lopinavir, antiretroviral medications, was found to be effective in treating a related coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The combination of drugs, known by the brand name Kaletra, stops enzymes called proteases from allowing the virus to mature and replicate. It has now been shown to also be effective against the coronavirus, and has been effective in treating patients infected with the coronavirus.

Remdesivir, a nucleoside analog recently discovered in 2016, inhibits viral polymerase activity, shutting down transcription and synthesis of viral RNA. This gives it antiviral activity against a broad range of retroviruses, including the coronavirus.

Remdesivir is a mimic that fools a virus into replacing one of its four building blocks with a chemical fake. Once in the virus’s blueprints, the imposter acts like a stop sign that keeps the virus from copying itself.

In a three-page paper in Cell Research, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s State Key Laboratory of Virology write that both chloroquine and the antiviral remdesivir were, individually, “highly effective” at inhibiting replication of the novel coronavirus in cell culture. They have now been shown to also be effective in treating human patients.

Coronavirus cases escalate quickly, but with aggressive tactics, such as stopping public gatherings, they peak quickly. And now, with medications to combat the coronavirus, it is going to be contained even quicker.

And once we recover from this deadly virus, so will NAK.


Good luck to all.

Now is a good time to buy more shares of NAK!
