Thanks for this thoughtful summary of recent studies about the benefit of ivermectin for Covid-19. There are interesting reports from India and Bangladesh about its inclusion in kits given to those who test positive or show clear clinical symptoms, and to their household contacts. In Goa it is free to patients who cannot afford the modest cost. Today’s edition of the Indian Express summarizes the government program in Uttar Pradesh. The author is a secretary in the health ministry. He states ivermectin has been included in treatment and prophylaxis since July, with very good effects on incidence compared to Indian states which did not start so early. In another (Dec.5 ) account from the Times of India, an at-home patient tells of a care team arriving at his door within a day of his testing positive, bringing medications including ivermectin for him and family. The team recommended he get an oximeter, then called twice daily for 11days to check on him. He had only mild illness and was understandably grateful for the monitoring. Worldometer today reports India has 106 deaths/million from Covid-19 compared with the US‘s 997.
About half way down is: " We have used the combination of ivermectin and doxycyclin to successfully treat over three lakh home-isolated patients with mild symptoms so far. This combination has also been used by the hospitals across the state for admitted COVID-19 patients. But what is more interesting is the state’s successful use of ivermectin as a prophylactic." Why can't the western countries roll out of bed with Big Pharma?

Indian Express
I went to Indian Express, searched for Ivermectin. Read a few articles, but found one from 12/17/2020.
