U.S. stock futures surged on Thursday night after a report said a Gilead Sciences drug was showing effectiveness in treating the coronavirus. The move pointed to a jump for the stock market on Friday.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 700 points, or about 3%. S&P 500 futures gained 2.8% while Nasdaq 100 futures were up by 1.8%.
Gilead shares jumped by 14% in after-hours trading after STAT news reported that a Chicago hospital treating coronavirus patients with Remdesivir in a trial were recovering rapidly from severe symptoms. The publication cited a video it obtained where the trial results were discussed.

That's exactly what this rally is about.
They clearly have no conscience or honor. Bald faced liars.
Only 5,000 more points to go. Piece of cake. /s
OMG what blatant LIARS!! SCUM all of them!!
I purchased a pair of flats on Amazon 3 weeks ago they were so comfortable I decided to get another pair the price went up $25.00 in 3 weeks!! NEVER MIND didn’t need them anyway!!
The same news has been broadcast repeatedly about Hydroxy-Chloroquine therapy.
HCQ therapy for 5 days costs $20.00
The Demrezafear, $1000.00
Who is yer daddy?

For once, Bloomberg is writing an honest headline about this:

There is NO WAY the survival rate for Ebola would be that high. Not enough people in the US have ever had it. THANK GOD.
A) It depends upon which strain of Ebola you’re talking about. they have very different mortality rates.
B) Ebola is infectious. Not contagious. THANK GOD. If that bug ever becomes contagious WE ARE F^CKED
Probably has more to do with that than one drug.>>>>>>>>>>>>
You bet it does.
No one dares talk about the proper , timely use of Hydroxy-chloroquine, but it is in use big time off label in all 50 states.
The demand for the HCQ is so high that states are announcing “studies” just to get large quantities of the drug released from HHS.Thanks to President Trump , HHS has a huge stockpile of over 10 million doses.This is ready for roll out when states actually start to open.
But do not tell Lefty Dems...they are already having conniption fits of a genocidal nature , about HCQ being “dangerous.” My sister has been using HCQ for years for arthritis , no side effects.
A course of HCQ treatment costs $20.00 and a course of Remdesivir is about $1000.00

In fact, those treated with either drug within days of infection reported a 90 percent survival rate, according to Nature.

Redevsmir can be the “Backup” drug to the HCQ/Zinc/Zpac combo for those who have heart troubles.
That was my immediate reaction. Why believe what CNBC says is the cause of this? I think it’s because Trump announced we’re reopening up America.
HCQ is also bad because the patent expired and Big Pharma can’t make potentially billions on a generic wonder drug that costs 50 cents a dose.
