I strongly suspect that if Apple win this case against Epic and get an official court-sanctioned nod that their monopoly on iOS software sales is acceptable we'll see developer fees double or triple within a couple of years and the 30% IAP fee get ratcheted up to 40 or 50% over the next decade (unless you're big enough to negotiate).
Developers would make a bit less (although still more than they make on Android) and Apple would make a lot more.
Not a monopoly, but they have a captive audience with one of the biggest gaming franchises of the current time.
Many of their current practices with the Epic Store could be potentially seen as being anti-competitive, but they are currently being given the benefit of the doubt because they are nowhere near as big as Steam.
What are you basing these claims on? The only definitive research on these drugs for treatment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209580992... does not point to a large success. In fact many of the trial patients ended up in ICU, and their condition worsened. A single doctor who advertised that he had 600 patients, which only a few were tested and verified to have COVID-19 is not enough to data to base starting broad treatment. If they do work then by all means lets start medicating, but sadly nothing points to these drugs being that effective.

Zelenko wrote (above) that he had:
"669 PATIENTS SEEN IN MY MONROE, NY practice with either test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection"
That "test proven" part is easy to miss.
Zelenko's study is not a randomized controlled double-blind study but, at 699 patients so far, it is definitely statistically significant.
It will be months, if not years, and quite possibly never before a controlled experiment occurs. Such an experiment could be deemed medically unethical because it withheld a highly-successful treatment from the control group:
Yes. "test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection". Clinically diagnosed means that they had symptoms that COULD be COVID-19. But unless they are tested it's not definitive evidence of anything, and further puts into question the treatment. Many of the symptoms are just like the common flu. I understand people jumping, and hoping that this is some cure. Likely if anything it helps treat the secondary illnesses caused by COVID-19, and perhaps helps improve recovery in that way.
