Praying the right decision is made regarding your circumstances.
Is the C virus hitting high enders more often than regular folks than is common with most epidemics? Maybe it’s just that celebrities get the most publicity when one of them tests positive. Celebrities and wealthy people do travel internationally more than most folks so maybe that has something to do with it.
Does any government regulation make sense?
I like that.

when a fascility is overwhelmed this happens

Thanks!
He runs to CNN and says drugs have to be tested in a controlled environment. I bet he didn’t like the President’s “right to try” either. Some people get so bogged down with rules and regulations they can’t think out of the box.
That’s what I’m thinking he could be smirking and face palming over the stupidity of the press for all we know.
He knew when to fold em.

Jack de Graaf heads up Teva’s Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) function in Europe. It’s his job to make sure the firm’s many European factories, R&D sites, and offices are safe to work in. Here he talks about keeping 14,000 people safe, the potential for disaster if things go wrong… and why he feels a bit like Teva’s mother.........[gatekeeper]
There are 14,000 people working at Teva in Europe. The company has 19 manufacturing locations employing up to 9,000 people and a further 5,000 people work in offices and warehouses. That’s a lot of people to keep safe.

Mylan (MYL) and Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) plan to jumpstart production of hydroxychloroquine, which is also approved for treating lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The medicine has been prescribed sparingly, mostly to travelers, and was in short supply this month, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, which counted a handful of manufacturers that were not shipping tablets.
The drug has taken on new life in recent weeks after several studies indicated it may show promise as a weapon to fight Covid-19, prompting some doctors to write prescriptions. As a result, Trump administration officials want to move quickly to determine whether the drug — and a closely related medicine called chloroquine — can be effective.

Meanwhile, Teva expects to donate more than 6 million doses through wholesalers to U.S. hospitals to meet “urgent demand,” the company said in a statement. The doses will be shipped by March 31, and more than 10 million within a month. Additional production is being assessed. The drug is being studied for its ability to fight Covid-19 and Teva noted U.S. officials requested it be made available for immediate use.

“Fauci said we still needed tests/trials lasting about 12 months to determine the effects of the new vaccine being proposed, but that CQ was pretty much a known quantity, so it could be put into use right away.”
As I just posted, he probably can’t think outside of the box. Probably doesn’t like “right to try” either. Plus, all the studies and trials and developments are money makers. Not accusing him of thinking about money, but maybe keeping the bureaucracy alive.
First letter I?
Second letter M?
That’s funny, I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes I forget how old I am.
Lol I just posted that. Great minds...
