The first preliminary trial involved a total of 36 COVID-19 patients. However, U.S. health agencies like FDA and CDA, are still very cautious about the effectiveness and safety...

The Obama administration consistently sought to slice hundreds of tens of millions of dollars in funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yearly spending plan requests clearly show — seemingly undercutting previous Vice President Joe Biden’s repeated assaults on the Trump White Residence for its pandemic preparedness. A lot of Democrats, which include Biden, have falsely claimed that Trump slashed the CDC budget, and Biden has advised that he would under no circumstances go after very similar cuts. The Associated Press has famous that those people promises “distort” the specifics, with FactCheck.org pointing out that CDC funding...

Joe Biden watches from the far reaches of the upper balcony as he waits and waits to be declared the de facto Democratic presidential nominee and assume leadership of his party. The coronavirus has postponed state primaries, prolonged the contest, yanked him out of the news and left him in political limbo, where he wonders if Bernie Sanders will ever acknowledge defeat and shivers in the shadow of another Democrat, Andrew Cuomo, who didn’t even run for president. Biden has, for the moment, been dealt a remarkably frustrating hand. Sanders is sending the signal that his battle presses on by...

With the CCP Virus pandemic having exposed scary domestic shortages of critical medical goods ranging from safety masks to ventilators, along with potential shortages of pharmaceuticals, political leaders across the spectrum are finally regretting having allowed so much output of these products to migrate offshore. China’s role in global supply chains has understandably sparked much of the alarm, since its government has all but threatened to withhold supplies of medicines whenever it wishes.

Across America, doctors are grappling with which medical procedures are necessary and which ones can wait as the coronavirus outbreak spreads. Wilkes told the Daily Dose that doctors want to be sure there are enough beds, masks, gowns, oxygen and other supplies to treat...
