Remdesivir is showing promise as a COVID-19 treatment.........

[ABikerSailor]

Heard on the nightly news today that there is hope in the virus fight. There is a drug called Remdesivir, which has shown great promise in fighting the virus. On the nightly news, they said that 125 people had been treated with the drug, and all the people who recovered were healthy in 2 weeks, and only 2 people died from complications of the virus.

And, unlike the drug that Trump has been recommending, this one doesn't have nearly as many or as bad side effects. And, while doctors aren't calling this a silver bullet treatment, they are saying that it shows very good promise in treating this disease.

Corona has already mutated at least twice since discovery. There is no cure for Corona.

This study was just recently completed. It's being used on the current strain of the virus and is showing lots of promise.

Mutations would be significant, if the OP was about a vaccine. Since it's about a drug, not so much.

Let's see what happens.

I know that a lot of doctors swear by Hydrochloroquine and a Z-pack and have shown great results. But because Trump recommended it the deranged left are determined to poo-poo its success. Crazy......

Personally, I am getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and as much sunshine vitamin D as I can.

There are some doctors that are using hydrocholorquine and z packs to treat the disease, but they are having troubles getting the dosage to where it fights the virus, but doesn't stop your heart.

This new drug has far fewer complications to go along with it, and they aren't planning on using it unless a person is admitted to the hospital.

Fewer side effects means it's a better drug by the way.

I drink a gallon of milk a week and milk is fortified with Vitamin D. Thank goodness I'm not lactose intolerant.

Some doctors are also getting arrested. Having a president without a medical degree touting a drug that most doctors DON'T see as a "miracle" seems to be getting the greedy among them in trouble.

Trump never claimed it was a "miracle cure". There are noted virologists who have had great success with it.

Full peer reviewed study has been released by Didier Raoult MD, PhD https://drive.google.com/file/d/186Bel9RqfsmEx55FDum4xY_IlWSHnGbj/view?usp=sharing…. After 6 days 100% of patients treated with HCQ + Azithromycin were virologically cured

The immune system normally uses proteins called cytokines as weapons in fighting a disease. For unknown reasons in some COVID-19 patients, the immune system first fails to respond quickly enough and then floods the body with cytokines, destroying blood vessels and filling the lungs with fluid.

The doctors tried a drug called Actemra, which was designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis but also approved in 2017 to treat cytokine storms in cancer patients.

"Our role was to quiet the storm," said Dr. Samuel Youssef, a cardiac surgeon. "Dr. Padgett was able to clear the virus" once his immune system was back in balance.

Dr. Matt Hartman, a cardiologist, said that after four days on the immunosuppressive drug, supplemented by high-dose vitamin C and other therapies, the level of oxygen in Padgett's blood improved dramatically. On March 23, doctors were able to take him off life support.

Four days later, they removed his breathing tube. He slowly came out of his sedated coma, at first imagining that he was in the top floor of the Space Needle converted to a COVID ward.

So why isn't this headline news and why isn't every pharma co. ramping up for mass production? Could it be they like keeping us locked up?

Remdesivir: Covid-19 patients recovering quickly after getting experimental drug

Remdesivir: Covid-19 patients recovering quickly after getting experimental drug
By Maggie Fox, CNN 1 day ago

Covid-19 patients who are getting an experimental drug called remdesivir have been recovering quickly, with most going home in days, STAT News reported Thursday after it obtained a video of a conversation about the trial.


The patients taking part in a clinical trial of the drug have all had severe respiratory symptoms and fever, but were able to leave the hospital after less than a week of treatment, STAT quoted the doctor leading the trial as saying.

"The best news is that most of our patients have already been discharged, which is great. We've only had two patients perish," Dr. Kathleen Mullane, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Chicago who is leading the clinical trial, said in the video.

Mullane did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN.

The University of Chicago said Mullane's comments constituted partial information.

It's a trial. There's also no control group information either so we don't know how the group that didn't get the drug fared. Even if it is 100% certified as safe and effective tomorrow, the patent belongs to Gilead. You think they're going to just share it to let other companies manufacture it in the name of "ramping up"? It's a small sample size. Not even close to being conclusive.

For something of this magnitude that threatens to crash the economy and send people into starvation, the government should buy the patents from Gilead or seize them in a taking if they won't sell. Then begin a program of mass production. If the science proves it safe and effective.

Who wants to be in the control group that DOES NOT get the new drug?

I have an idea

administer it to trump voters and let libs be the control group

Because it's in clinical trial.

The vast majority of those who get infected with this virus have only mild illnesses, from which they recover quickly, if they develop any illness at all, which many do not.

In fact, as testing is expanding, we're learning that there are a lot more people, than previously assumed, who are already infected, and who have not become at all ill from it.

So how do we know that any of the patients who took this drug weren't going to recover just as fast without it?
