Could Remdesivir Treat COVID-19? One Man’s Recovery Offers Hope | TODAY
The trial for remdesivir is now closed for facility enrollment; it’s a huge national study of about 380 facilities. Looking forward to reading the publication on it. Proning on vent, keeping dry, high PEEP settings, are part of the combination of management we use for COVID ARDS.
I’m glad people are getting are a little better, but I don’t want any false hope anymore. It’s just gonna blow up right in our faces again like with New York.
God bless you america get well soon love you from pakistan 🌹🇵🇰🇺🇸
It’s great that this guy pulled through with out a doubt. That said these little victories are just that and we need top down structural change in this country before it gets much worse. Let them eat cake are the words given to Ms. Antoinette well I like cookies.
GOD bless may the lord Jesus Christ save you bro
Sorry but China just reported 100 new cases they are saying that whoever got the virus and got cure it comes back snd system already
Or the person was never really cured and the virus was able to reproduce more of itself. They’re tests are probably inaccurate.
🙏🙏
God bless everyone and let god lead us all out of this
Wow
And good gawd… His daughters can get the D. Especially the one in the black pants like oh muh gawd
My baby didn’t make it
Dr. Fauci: no it doenst work we need proven data for the next 20 years never open the economy everyone stay home and never go out never work until the day you die.
I do not believe the extent of your ignorance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep believe your dictator Trump.
Ever heard of placebo?
You should shake hands and hug people. Maga.
not at its cost! 4get it
Stop lying
Ask the Chinese. The company that manufactures the drug sent their entire on hand supply to China in February to fight the China outbreak. Without government authorization. They asked the government for permission, the government didn’t reply so they shipped the drug anyway.The government gave the ok to them after the fact.
@Rudy Penza perhaps the export of the drug might turn out to be a good thing if it provides data about the effectiveness and safety of the drug. China probably allows human trials without as many safety safeguards and hurdles to jump through.
remdesivir is a failed anti-viral drug against ebola. remdesivir seemed to be active against sars and mers in animal models. out of desperation or somethings, china and czech allowed the drug to be tested on covid patients. human trials for remdesivir in china are rather large. the result will come around at the end of april.
@Al mac : Positive. Just do a Google search. It was big news at the time.
Are you sure? Isn’t this an experimental drug?
What is your point?
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!!
