Hopes rise over experimental drug’s effectiveness against coronavirus

A US biotech firm has ramped up production of an experimental drug that has become a focal point for hopes of an effective treatment for coronavirus.

The first clinical trial of the antiviral medicine remdesivir in Covid-19 patients is due to report its findings next month according to Gilead Sciences, which said it had accelerated manufacturing of the drug to increase its supplies “as rapidly as possible”.

As the coronavirus outbreak has unfolded, about 300 separate trials into different drugs and experimental therapies have been launched in the absence of any established treatments. Many see remdesivir, originally developed to treat Ebola, as a frontrunner and one of the very few drugs that has a reasonable prospect of helping patients in the near-term.

“As a therapy, it could potentially help make people’s disease less severe, save lives for those hospitalised, and be used prophylactically for hospital workers and perhaps even in the community to limit spread out there,” said Timothy Sheahan, a virologist who has studied the drug at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. But he added that the wider use of the drug in the unfolding epidemic was “completely contingent on its success or failure in the trials”.

While awaiting these results, doctors in the US, China and Italy are already using remdesivir on a compassionate basis to treat small numbers of patients with severe Covid-19. The first US patient, a 35-year-old man in Snohomish County, Washington, recovered, but the full trials are needed to assess whether the drug reduces the severity of symptoms and, crucially, mortality rates.

Remdesivir attacks the virus’s ability to replicate in the body and in animal studies has worked against two more deadly coronaviruses, Sars and Mers, particularly when it is given soon after symptoms appear. It has also shown promise when used against a wider variety of coronaviruses, including those that cause the common cold, and others that infect bats and pigs.

The same replication process occurs in all coronaviruses, raising hopes that if the drug works on one, it will work on all. “For this to be useful you have to really catch the virus as it’s ramping up replication in someone’s body and not after too much damage has been done,” said Sheahan. “If you can intervene prior to the virus topping out, there’s a pretty good chance you can improve outcomes and potentially save people’s lives. For Sars and Mers, in upper airway, virus peaks a week to 10 days after the onset of symptoms, so you probably have five to 10 days to intervene after you start to feel crummy.”

Apparently Italy got screwed because people did not take Covid-19 seriously. Ignored all warnings.

Now there is shortage of hospital beds & medical staff to treat patients in Italy.

Moral of the story: if you have even slight flu, stay home, isolate yourself and don’t infect others.

one Indian doctor stayed back in china to fight corona virus............. we must appreciate unbiased reporting here

Double standards:

Double standards:

This is inspite of China being a big customer to NYT, by buying “China watch” editorial for years.

Millions of revenue given to NYT, yet the liberals showed their true colours.

Give this advice to friends and family.

will check it out.

im wearing disposable masks to work. im going by auto to work and not taking any bus or trains. im not going out for recreational purposes....no outings, movies etc. im going to work coming straight back to home. im so scared since one case was registered in Bangalore. im washing hands like every 2 hrs.

the only issue is that im surrounded by kids who r having some sort of cough or cold! in every class im coming across 2 or 3 kids with cold cough etc. they r also wearing masks but since they r kids, they touch the mask unconsciously which defeats the whole point.

Somewhere I feel that might have been done on purpose.. chinese men hate other enthnic people a lot..

Chinese ladies though I have seen on many sites pretty open and interested in Indian .. had couple of Chinese gf online. Had to backoff when they offered to visit India.

Looks like there strong correlation of covd19 with temperature and seasonality:https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3550308

Net net three more weeks and in summer most of it will go away on its own.

100% agree with this ..........................

It's not the case that BJP/Govt is clueless, their ability to do something is restricted and anything they do has to pass thru constitutional & judicial scrutiny.

Maybe they are waiting for people to handle this themselves thru nationalist NGO, at some point people need to put their money where their mouth is. Govt can come in where needed.

even if you watch arif ajakia videos, one thing he clearly states everytime is that indians don't contribute to activism for their own country. busloads of pakistanis and others are fully available for their nation's causes, in western countries.

Money money sabka honey. When we start throwing cash around, the global outrage brigade will also forget about us. But I hope we don't do that, it is a waste of wealth to spend it on them. Instead we should set up an outrage brigade of our own to pay it back in the same coin.
