Good news.
How fast can they ramp production?
Bioweapon antidote. Somebody already had it in stock.
What the hell is the local health district???
That isnt even a term in the US. Who is this doctor.? Where in Washington? What hospital??
No, Gilead diverted it from extremely limited stores meant for experimental Ebola treatment. And this story is almost a week old, but still good news.
Providence Hospital in Everett, WA. Several regional news stories here in the last week.
Good news! I note that the trials will be run in China, is that where it's made?Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

We have local health districts in WA state.
They manage environmental issues, immunizations,senior services, homeless to name a few of their assigned tasks.
Cure developed by a capitalist, not a socialist. Thats the difference in healthcare.
Heres my take
Chinese researchers in Chinas only BSL-4 lab, in Wuhan BTW, playing around with bat coronavirus, recombined with SARS protein allowing it to attack lung epithelial cells, in order to strike it rich with SARS vaccine
New 2019-nCoV (coronavirus) escapes their lab.
Winds up making US company rich.
there is also an anti-viral cocktail of 3 drugs - from Abbott, Abbvie and Hoffman LaRoche which has had success in Singapore, i believe.
A few days a week back the Chinese were trying to patent the vaccine, even though Gilead Sciences had already patented it. There was a fight and then all of a sudden trials - so something off camera happened
The Bill Gates and soros vaccine to the rescue for the Bill Gates virus...who woulda thought...right?
Of course. Most especially if you produced it. Just like our annual flu breakout after vaccinations start. Handy money makers.
LOL, they say karma is a bitch ...
...we elected to give him
the experimental Remdesivir, antiviral medication. And within 24 hours he improved significantly....
********************************************
When INITIALLY testing new drugs with few patients, we need to always remember that CORRELATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY CAUSATION.
Every county in the US is a public health district and has a Public Health Office that handles disease/epidemic outbreaks, vaccinations and reviews school records for same, they also are responsible for food service licensing and inspection, etc.
Daddy always taught me to keep my mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open my mouth and remove all doubt. You might want to look up the development history of Remdesivir.
