Dr. Fauci seems to be working really hard on this, considering that yesterday he said that Americans have ‘nothing to worry about’.

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.

Might someone here know if Remdesivir is imported from China, like most of our other drugs?

Sounds like it’s made in US. It’s an “investigational” drug. Seems to have rapidly cleared up that patient in Washington. Originally developed for ebola but seems to work on other viruses. China has accepted 30 drugs for testing.

Yeah lets have him working hard. Better to be prepared before rather than after a pandemic starts here.

it’s an experimental drug being developed by a US company named Gilead and is not approved for use anywhere in the world except for trials that Gilead provides small amounts to for testing, so it’s not manufactured in bulk anywhere at this point ...

This article is mentioning the company Moderna...
Are they associated with Gilead?

Thanks for that reference site. I bookmarked it. Good medical information and low on conspiracy. I can get that here:)
To: BobL
Remdesivir was an investigational antiviral from Gilead biosciences which never made it to Phase III or licensure.
It had some activity against Ebola.
It is known to be active against other coronaviruses.
