Thank for the post..The issue of using China is they have the patients..We really don't have enough patients in the USA to run a study...We don't need Vascepa for the young healthy patients that do very well and go home..Its the 2-3% elderly patients that linger on and are more susceptible to problems related to elevated Systemic Inflammation...That Vascepa can help...
circuit - and JL@ This is a very exiting debat about Vascepa possibly helping Corona patients in Wuhan area China - you have here. -----------------------------
To the input from JL that only China have the number of patients 'to learn anything' (to study the effect on the elderly and sick) - there might be some medical person on this board that have studied with Chinese doctor - from the most hit area in China.
The easiest and fastest way - would be to contact Amarin - if they would hopefully 'free of charge' donate the necessary Vascepa medicin - for to do the study - and then to contact the authorities over there (best through a known doctor that know procedures - who to contact) ---------------------
Just ideas from a Lay person - that know absolutely nothing about medicin - but as long as JL says Vascepa will 'close to 100% help these patients' that might convince Amarin that this is in fact a very good idea.
