Although this new drug may not treat people any better, the effect on flu incidence through the population could be profound! This is a big deal. The question though, is whether people can be convinced to use it when it doesn’t alleviate symptoms any better or faster. If it’s more expensive, likely they won’t unless they have children, work in healthcare, or otherwise care highly about their infectivity.
