CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Through the FDA’s Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program, 19 therapies and treatments are now being tested and 26 more are in the active planning for clinical trial. So we have 19 therapies being tested currently, and 26 more are in the active planning for clinical trials. That’s a big statement. That’s a lot.
Trials for Gilead’s antiviral drug, remdesivir, continue. And the company has also expanded emergency use for new patients getting good, early results, by the way. The companies that manufacture hydroxychloroquine are massively ramping up production.”
