“Will Gilead Sciences Remdesivir Help Arrest the Coronavirus?”

Maybe in a year it will help, after it works through the bureaucracy. But it does sound like it has promise in making recovery a bit easier and faster.

The only $hit that has hit the fan is fear / panic / the stock market (in the USA) If it really hits medically there is no way this drug will be required to go through the normal FDA process if found effective. Gileads drug is being developed to treat a similar virus, it is not known (to the public) yet if it is effective for CV. If effective there will be a heavy price to pay for politicians standing in the way. Gilead might already have an idea of the efficacy of Remdesivirhas, it has ramped up production fast and beyond the the needs for the approximate 1,000 patients that will be part of the phase III testing.
