Hard to believe, but hospitals are letting patients suffering with late stage COVID disease die rather than use ivermectin; and they vigorously fight court actions brought by families to save the lives of love ones with ivermectin that medical science supports this use of.

The best thing the US government can do to address the pandemic is to spend billions of dollars to provide free or low cost COVID home testing kits. Every household medicine cabinet needs a supply of test kits. Testing is the way to curb transmission and loads on hospitals. Europe is doing a better job.
