No this drug is actually approved for prevention and not treatment.

It probably would reduce the chance they would get sick and get natural immunity. However a RSV vaccine for infants is hopefully not far off so they can gain immunity that way.

Note that this is a monoclonal antibody injection and not a vaccine. This means that it will be way more expensive and protection will only last a few months at most. This is still a good thing for that are young and don't mount great immune responses, but an actual vaccine approved for this age group is still needed.

Sigh. This seems to be happening with all the low cost competitors (RIP start.ca)

Our supply management is also bad, but at least the cost is born by people who use dairy products. I would argue that the US dairy subsidies are worse as everyone is paying for it whether they like it or not.

I played it during testing and for a few hours since it came out to early access. It's great compared to the mediocre unfinished crap most AAA studios are putting out. The servers run smoothly, VOIP is great, there's a server browser, good gunplay. Obviously the graphics aren't the selling point, but the gameplay is fun and everything just works.
