A pill to treat Covid-19 was so successful in reducing the most severe outcomes of the illness, that clinical trials of the medication were stopped early so more people might benefit, drugmaker Merck & Co. announced Friday.A five-day course of the drug, called molnupiravir, was found to cut Covid hospitalizations and related deaths in half, according to a company press release. Merck said it intends to ask health officials in the United States and around the world for emergency authorization for the pill.

fauci was talking about the pill overnight. Looks like they might get emergency approval.
