There are also plenty of people who would just throw this plant away and buy another. They are not expensive and it is going to be some time before this plant flowers again.

Spot on. I repot all my orchids as soon as I get them home, for PRECISELY this reason. There is a standard practice in a lot of orchid sellers to pot them in moss or a similar medium, and by the time they are ready to sell, they are also ready to die.
I would take one look at that and bin it. It is JUST possible to save it, but why bother to put that much effort into it when you won't see a flower for yonks?
