Shares of Gilead Sciences were rising after the World Health Organization said the drugmaker's antiviral remdesivir may be effective against the coronavirus.
The comments, which were reported by CNBC, came in a press conference at which the organization lauded the Chinese government for the measures it took to stem the spread of the virus. When identifying any drugs that could potentially combat the disease, WHO named the drug from Gilead Sciences.
Remdesivir is an investigational antiviral that hasn't yet been approved anywhere globally for any use.
However, Gilead Sciences has been working with global health officials in responding to the coronavirus outbreak and officials have been experimenting with remdesivir. Numerous health organizations have participated in the trials including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Allergies and Infection Diseases, Department of Defense, the China CDC and the World Health Organization.
Working with health authorities in China, Gilead Sciences has initiated two clinical trials of coronavirus.
One of the studies is evaluating remdesivir in patients with confirmed disease who have developed more severe clinical complications like a requirement for supplemental oxygen. The other study is evaluating the drug in coronavirus patients who have been hospitalized but are not displaying significant manifestations of the disease.
The drug is available to patients through compassionate use requests that must be submitted by the patient's treating physician.

Scam horseshit.
Same as chicken flu 2007...
Sh*t. I thought about this after watching a Medcram on the subject 2 weeks ago and I chickened out and didn’t buy their stock.

The mass executions?(Just a guess on my part but being who they are ...)
Well, it is effective, though I'm not sure it's laudatory.

“Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t.”
You ain’t alone.
But it’s not too late to get in. Two weeks ago it was 69 today after market it’s 74. If they got the real thingit’ll go much higher.
I’m thinking of buying some call options.
Yeah, but is it made in China? If so, the factory will be nationalized.
What’s the ticker?
GILD
TY!
This indeed could be a scam put forth by someone looking to profit from the release of said new drug. The drug will need to be tested extensively before it is released so as to not end up scamming people for their money and that it doesn't actually cause more harm than good.

Crystals and lavender oil and hot yoga. That is the best way to treat any disease be it leprosy, cancer, vaginosis or corona. Colloidal silver is so yesterdays snake oil.
