I agree with everything except this. By the time they are in the hospital getting Brilacdin the torrent of Delta virions will have been shedding like for a week before symptoms bring them to a hospital.
Brilacidin will hopefully cut mortality down to nearly 0 if we can get it to everyone that needs it. As long as COVID stays this infectious with such a long incubation period I think we'll be battling waves of it for some time to come.
The more evidence that comes in suggesting this was man-made, the less likely nature is going to be able to clean it up.
