Column: He ola anei kā ka lāʻau, ʻo Remdesivir?
Synopsis: A drug that has shown promise in the treatment of MERS and SARS is being touted as a treatment for COVID-19. That is good news but it should not send us out into the streets until we know for sure.

Aia ka mole i ka hopena o ka inoa, æo ia hoæi ka päkuæina, æo “-vir”. He hoæopökole æana këia no ka hua æölelo haole æo “virus”, a no laila, pili kona manaæo i ka pale æana i nä maæi hölapu.
