Another story inspired by true event happen to me just a few mere hours ago...
Having a nap, I dream I was next Sunday playing the tabletop RPG campaign we are doing, with some of the same question I must prepared popping into my mind... Then I woke up and was confused whether it was Sunday already or not for a little while...

I wouldn't call it a cure, but instead the end condition for using those medications. Means the person using it won't have to worry about Covid anymore. Or anything else.

Actually, that might not be a bad idea - the gene pool may need some drainage

Is that not the idea behind Covid/Great Reset?
Not that I disapprove as long as it's not me quite yet.

I was going to say who would be that stupid...but never mind!

We know several veterinarians who know medicines which would benefit people. It's only the creationists who think that people are "better" than the rest of the animals. We're really not

Quote: We know several veterinarians who know medicines which would benefit people
Granted, but to take something designed to deworm cattle for a human virus defies logic!
Quote: It's only the creationists who think that people are "better" than the rest of the animals
We may not be "better" than animals, but we are different. I don't understand what "creationists" has to do with the argument?

I am exploring the purchase of a Chrome book (or equivalent) for email, web browsing, notes and other light tasks during long travels. Anyone have any thoughts on these? I know they generally need a continuous internet connection, and do not have much storage (ram and ssd), but I think I can upgrade those from my junk drawer stock.
It looks like I can develop Android apps (Xamarin?), which could be useful.

For the limited uses that you mentioned, they are very good. I don't know if I'd want to use them as a development platform, however. Even if they can run today's IDEs (which I haven't checked), I think you might find them a little underpowered.
If you have a decent cellphone data package, you can keep them connected anywhere by using your cellphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. That's what I do (with my PC laptop) when travelling.

I was planning on development with VS2019 using the Xamarin projects.
My only concern is if I have to go through the app store to get privately developed apps, used by only me, onto the chrome book.

I suspect you will be out of luck: VS2019 requires Windows, and Chrome OS isn't that!
Visual Studio 2019 System Requirements | Microsoft Docs[^] I'm pretty sure Chromebooks don't have nearly enough disk space to even install VS2019, even if the rather limited ram they have woudl let it run at more than a crawl.
You may get VS Code working though: How to install Microsoft Visual Studio Code on a Chromebook | Windows Central[^]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was going to develop on my main development machine and transfer the final product to the chrome book. Although VS Code may work too, depending on the chrome book I decide on...

Have you done any Xamarin yet? I'm also using VS2019 and want to do some Xamarin.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Not really. Got a app running on the simulator with a button and some text. That's it so far. I am looking for something to do - my thought is: I have ceiling fans in each room of my house, each controlled by Bluetooth, so maybe I can make some sort of master controller for the house.
