It's the first and only drug shown to be effective against the coronavirus in a rigorous trial. But as it stands now, there's only enough remdesivir in the world for about 200,000 patients, according to the drug's maker, Gilead. Who will those patients be?

It's the first and only drug shown to be effective against the novel coronavirus in a rigorous trial. Its effects are modest but significant -- shortening a patient's hospital stay by about four days. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease specialist, has called it the new"standard of care" for Covid-19.

But as it stands now, there's only enough remdesivir in the world for about 200,000 patients, according to the drug's maker, Gilead Sciences. Who will those patients be? The US government, which is deciding where remdesivir goes, has offered few answers and little guidance since the drug was authorized for use on hospitalized patients a week ago.Read More No comprehensive plan for distribution has been publicly released in the days since.

With no idea of how drugs are being rationed, though,"I can't even say that. I can't even look my colleague in the face and say I know why we are not getting access to this drug. "That makes for difficult conversations. That makes for painful conversations. And it just doesn't allow you to plan from a hospital point of view.

Which drugs can help or treat human from coronavirus?

Republicans obviously!

It will be entertainers, politicians, and sports stars. In that order.

The wealthy will get it. Period.

Remdesivir Who will those patients be? 🤔 Rich ✅ White ✅ Male ✅

The rich. As always. They’ll pay the top dollar that the drug companies will love to take & the poor are dead.

Dr. F is tied to this drug he gets kickbacks ?

Rich white folk come first

Lies. 91% success with an already established malaria drug. Fake News from the Communist News Network. Now more than ever, we need to avoid scumbag liberals.

How about producing more of it! And if one company can’t , then give the chemical recipe to other companies.

Celebrities and politicians first, no doubt.

Define projection.

No is not but you keep lying about it

If everyone would just stay home we wouldn't have this problem 😟

If you were a virus victim, who would you take medicine from, Trump or the medical science community?

Why are you pushing a drug that’s 1000 dollars per dose?

A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies found that, while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, America’s ultra-wealthy elite have seen their net worth surge by $282 billion in just 23 days.

they can make more...

Guessing patient 1 will be realDonaldTrump

Gilead donates money & their drug gets kudos... You vaccine pimps can keep my dose.

Trump and his cronies will be first of course. The rest can die peacefully. Ratings and polls is what matters in the US

Hydroxy chloroquine has been curing people

This is not the solution only another way for the pharmaceuticals to control our lives why is it that we do not use the protocol from raoult_didier why is it forbidden by doctors to prescribe this !! as prevention so viral charges diminished and people get better after 6 days

The dudes who found the gold plates?

It is the most expensive option put out by your backers. Your lies are stacking up

Look, it's a complicated process. You have to make sure everything is in place first. Get your confirmations, paperwork to make sure it's legal. Once realDonaldTrump & hisamily blind trusts have fully divested from chloroquine & reinvested in remdesivir, then you can proceed.

Easy. Republicans

Just another way of creating fear of not getting a medicine. SHAME!!!

The wealthy obviously

Lying FUCKS!!! Hydroxichloroquine has MORE CLINICAL TRAILS THAT WORK THAN THIS.. FakeNewsCNN

Remdesivir sounds like the name of a Witcher

8% vs the placebo at 11%... certainly no miracle drug.

select from the riches

there's no point announcing who gets the vaccine . you people already know those that will recieve it just give them.

Here we go again just keep trying to get a square peg in a round hole. Use what works. There are a few out there right now that do. This isn’t the only option. Typical healthcare solution narrow and short sighted

God bless trump 🙏🙏🙏he did very well 👍👍👍,the ccp virus kill world people.with the lead by trump America will win.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💕💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸💕

Femi adesina should quit office with immediate effect for not able to tell Nigerians how buhari died in 2017 and continue to hide it from the public

How about the sickest

Hydroxy cocktail is not god cuz orange man says it is? Ignoring success claimed by 1000’s of Doctors? Pathetic CNN.

Rich white males.

I'd hate to be the one making that decision. Good luck to the one that has to.

China holds patent through Unitaid. Main funders, Soros, Gates, criminals

This article is laughable

Canadians and it will be FREE!! 😂

$$$$

The rich and their pet politicians

If Gilead released the patent than production would be accessible to all, access would increase overnight, and millions of lives would be saved. Will they do that?

Rich and powerful first...the peasants like you and I are on the bottom of totem pole. That is the pecking irder.

The Previledged Will Get the Vaccine, While Frontliners will be falling like Domino's

We don’t need it, it not efficient anyway. You can have it with a cherry on top

Wrong, keep pushing your Fauci backed propaganda. Dr’s across the country are on dozens of videos saying how well their patients responded to hydroxychloroquine the med cost .60 cents per dose. This shit their posing is $1000 a dose. Fauci is a greedy little prick

The rich. Always the rich.

My money is on the rich people.

The rich!

Rich ones. I’m confused about this drug it doesn’t affect mortality outcomes?

Don't we have laws that would allow the government to seize the patent and then order other companies to ramp up production? If Trump can steal land for a wall and order meat processors to open, this should be a no brainer.

Anything CNN praises be sure it is not a fact ...the drug is ONLY 30% ok for the treatment of the virus
