FDA approves remdesivir to treat some Covid-19 patients

The experimental drug remdesivir has been approved to treat hospitalized patients with severe Covid-19, the US Food and Drug Administration said.
The FDA issued an emergency-use authorization, saying the benefits of the drug outweigh its risks in patients. An emergency-use authorization is a lower regulatory bar than full FDA approval. CNN's Sara Sidner reports.

    1. @Nocs well, this “disease” is causing people’s toes to now suffer a form of “frostbite”

    2. Issa Draco I thought reg blood thinners weren’t working. The blood from Ppl on thinners who were undergoing dialysis clogged the machines. I hoped maybe if the remdesivir eventually were given at the first sign of infection it could prevent the progression of CVD19, and in that way could prevent this extremely troubling development of clots.

                      – Trump, 2016

    Trump supporters: i dun no wut dat means but make america grate agen 2020!!!1!

    1. @Marsha Lynn Really, how exactly did he do that? I do agree that quoting trump is not smart, if done sarcastically, that implies a fairly high level of intelligence.

    1. Trump’s all set, he’s got his Lysol martini and UV enema….he’s already working it from both ends.

    1. Ya we know China ain’t 🥋’s or how else could Isis be sooo rich, know what I’m saying.

    1. @Raven R you’re an idiot. He was talking about people having less children when they know their children will survive.

  2. Some good news for a change well done im glad theres light at the end of the tunnel

  3. This is a great start ! 👍🏽Hopefully it all works out. I have a video on my page on my thoughts on Remdesivir and what it means for those infected right now.

    1. Funny how Fox News was talking about this drug three weeks ago and CNN ridiculed them for it. CNN sucks.

    2. @Alan Peterson All these news stations are trash. They all have their biases and spin things to entertain and appease their audiences

    3. @Alan Peterson well given there was no evidence that it worked three weeks ago, CNN did the right thing.

    1. C/AL doesn’t get down like Isis does, know what I mean! 🤧😷😕

  4. But I was of the impression that trump already has come up with the perfect vaccine,
    consisting of bleach, lye and a pinch of covfefe…

  5. All this stress and panic from people, that’s why i made a video of how to cure yourself from coronavirus XD!
