Trigger Mike Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Gilead tested a drug on a Chicago patient and said it had dramatic results so the market futures have spiked over 700 points this morning. We can go to work. I was chatting with some on Facebook and they wanted us all to stay home 4 months drawing government checks to avoid the virus and I couldn't get her to see that in 4 months jobs are gone permanently for many. I also couldn't get her to see 99.9% of our state has not had the virus, 99.96% of our country is still healthy and 99.98% of the entire world hasn't had the virus.

Click here and scroll down to deaths: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm Now, click this link and scroll down to see CoVid 19 deaths in the US: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm Some will say the lower CoVid death rate is due to all the precautions taken. That very well could be true, but CoVid hasn’t become the world ender some thought, or maybe even hoped it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LOT have had it and do have it but are either asymptomatic or so mild they don't know. While I agree China Virus is serious, I do not agree with the stay at home orders; especially outside big cities. Time to get back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Tested it on one patient?? Certainly not a definitive clinical trial. I hope it works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I believe ithe market upturn is due more to the possibility of re- starting the economy and easing restrivtions. If a cure is found it will really take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The University of Chicago Medicine recruited 125 people with Covid-19 into Gilead’s two Phase 3 clinical trials. Of those people, 113 had severe disease. All the patients have been treated with daily infusions of remdesivir. I surely hope POTUS keeps his mouth shut regarding any treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Correction, it is not an anti-AIDS drug. They are testing 2-3 of those too.

Trigger Mike Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 The gov of Nevada banned the malaria drug the president said showed promise, then I heard on the radio that Nevada prisons had bought up thousands of doses and now have zero virus cases. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
