Well, I’m glad the statists have a cure they can take.

How come the trial for Remdesivir is all completed and yet the results of the HCQ trials are 6 months to 2 years away. That right there tells you the game is rigged.

And how come the goal of the Remdesivir trial was changed midway to only show if Remdesivir shortened the duration of the Virus.

And there is far more evidence out there that HCQ works, and works a lot better. 4-5 days instead of the 11 shown by the staged Remdesivir trial.

But leave up to a writer from political to get it all wrong. Getting it all wrong is their job.

One front line Dr who sees patients once they get pneumonia thinks that Genentech drug will save lives..but again..it is expensive.

Ah yes GENENTECH, probably the reason I am still alive.

About 5 year ago I was diagnosed at 80 years old with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis)(I am a lifetime non-smoker)

I was too old for lung transplants, and given 2 years to live.
GENENTECH came out with a new experimental drug for IPF called "Esbriet". (pirfenidone)

I have been taking it since then, and feel fine, so far.

And it is expensive, and only available on a monthly basis after you are grilled about any side effects. -Tom

The Genetech drug for this is very hard to get right now. A Dr on the Texags site used a connection from the site to get some for his patients.

When you hit the cytokine storm part of wuhan flu the genentech drug might really save you...if your Dr can get his hands on it.

Part of the problem is the Health Insurance Cos. don't want to pay for expensive drugs.
They will throw up roadblocks to having to pay for the drug.

Also you would probably need 2 separate doctors recommending the drug.
And one of those doctors should be a recognized expert on the particular ailment.- Tom
