Dr. George Diaz, a section chief for infectious diseases at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett joined Arthel Neville on FOX News on Sunday morning to discuss the successful treatment of the center’s coronavirus patient. Dr. Diaz told FOX News

quote:
“About a week into his course he got worse developed pneumonia. At that point given the reports we had gotten out of China… At that point we elected to give him… the experimental Remdesivir, antiviral medication. And within 24 hours he improved significantly. This was quite encouraging and he improved and thereafter remained without fever and felt much better. Over the next few days he improved to where we thought he could be discharged at home under the care of the local health district.”

So the question is, do we buy it?

If this is correct, the patient developed pneumonia, and 24 hours later the patient improved significantly. If GILD has a product this successful, I'm interested. I'm also interested in potential side effects.

Looks like the Chinese are going to steal the patent out from under them.

Check the money flows on options. I am very skeptical of GILD it's made terrible management decisions after Sovaldi was released. They have a monster cash pile and I just saw the yield is up over 4% but prospects are minimal from what I've read.
