Covid Treatment and Covid Vaccine - Remdesivir?

Covid Treatment and Covid Vaccine - Remdesivir?

According to Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services and chair of President Trump's Covid Task Force,
"Although the virus represents a potentially severe public health threat, and we expect to continue seeing more cases here, the immediate risk to the American public is low at this time,"

I agree. Especially when you look at the influenza virus, which is causing many morbidity and mortality in Americans right now, it’s going around like crazy.

Mr. Azar also said. "We are working as quickly as possible on the many unanswered questions about this virus. That includes exactly how it spreads, how deadly it is, whether it's commonly transmitted by patients who are not yet displaying symptoms, and other issues."

Meanwhile, there might be an adequate drug on the horizon to treat the covid.

There is currently a randomized, controlled clinical trial for a new antiviral drug for the novel covid. The drug is called redeliver and is currently being given in China to some patients with the covid.

According to reports, on Jan 26, a 35-year-old patient in the U.S. with 2019-nCoV received redeliver a week after being admitted to the hospital.

Five days after being treated with redelivering, all of his symptoms resolving except for his cough, which had improved.

Remdesivir is a novel nucleotide analog prodrug, originally developed by the biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola and Marburg virus. However, it has also shown reasonable antiviral activity against similar viruses like respiratory syncytial virus and covid.

Remdesivir is yet to be approved globally, and although it appears to be safe, it still has not been proven safe or effective for any use.

However, the encouraging result prompted Gilead and the Chinese authorities to move the phase III trial ahead and expand it to a lot more patients who need treatment desperately.

The clinical trial is expected to be completed in April.

So as of right now, the standard of care for covid consists of supportive treatment only, meaning there is no specific treatment.

Besides this drug to potentially treat covid, several organizations and investigators are also developing a vaccine for the 2019-nCoV.

Also, the NIH is working with Moderna Inc. to develop a vaccine built on a messenger RNA platform.

According to Dr. Fauci, "One of the first steps is to successfully get those covid genes and insert it into the messenger RNA platform successfully and allow it to express proteins. We've succeeded in that.

The next step is to put it in a mouse animal model to induce immunogenicity and make the company make gold nanoparticle products. All of those have been successfully implemented”.

Also, as of February 7th - more action is being taken to protect Americans from a potential covid epidemic.

Now let's talk about testing for covid.

The test is real-time PCR testing.
Because this is a new virus with new testing, its exact accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are unknown.
A positive test becomes more accurate when there is a high positive predictive value.

For example, if someone comes into contact with someone from Wuhan, China, they develop symptoms and have secretions from their nose. Those secretions are swabbed, a positive test result is more likely to be accurate.

In contrast, if someone does not have symptoms and has a positive test result, the test is more likely to be false.

Now let’s look at another situation. What if someone comes into contact with someone who has covid and develops symptoms but negative test results? In that case, the test would have a low negative predictive value, meaning the test is more likely to have a false negative.

So, the false-negative tests are most likely to occur when tested before becoming more symptomatic at the onset of infection.

Be safe. We had a scare in our hospital too.

Thank you Dr Hansen God bless you and keep you

What is recommended medical treatment, since, as of yet, no medicine has been approved?

[Mrrossj]

Dr. Hansen
Can you do an update on this re. the clinical studies? You presentations are gold standard!

Can the public be given the pneumonia vaccine. So if at least they do go on to develop the coronavirus they should be able to breath? I had a 3 in 1 vaccine 2008 to 2009 i believe this included the swine flu and bird flu. 8 days later i ended up in ER with a very swollen tongue and urticaria. The first thing i was asked if i had a vaccine in the last 10 days? Now my immune system is over active and i do not normally get ill. My body thinks its under attack and goes full out to burn out any virus or illness. I have to take antihistamines and sometimes steroids to dampen down my immune system. Basically my immune system has been switched on to high alert! This can be a good thing better than a vaccine. May god bless everyone affected with a speedy recovery🙏

[davescheer]

Do you know if they are experimenting with any type of protein interrupters the would stop the virus from attaching itself to the host ? And would getting a pneumonia shot stop a person who is infected from getting pneumonia?

As of 2/27/2020, flights from Italy and Korea are STILL PERMITTED TO LAND IN U.S.A. in spite of the major outbreaks there, ☣️

Chloroquine has also been tested in China. Successfully.

[evamansfield]

So there’s only 12 cases in America yet somehow the UK has ended up with 40 cases

[johnsmith-xi]

It seems like a negative PCR test cannot rule out infection

[TheNailLounge]

U.K. specialists have no idea of this drug I asked my sister who is a leading specialist in respiratory and they have not been updated about the seriousness of Coronavirus and or trials going on ..?guess they will just treat it like flu and viral pneumonia..!

[AmaratMamu]

Are we not regreting so many mistake and lack of taking serious the situation... by that time there was plenty information coming out of China and there had been many ways to treat the situation but it seems USA wanted to do the things "our way or no way"... We are still implementing the test and we are in a very precarious situation.

Hello, I am from Romania yesterday, 26.02.2020 1 case confirmed of covid-19 from a person who was in the infected area in Italy and travel to Romania in multiple locations in Gorj area, possible spreading the infection because he was in contact with a lot of people and he attended a party with 30 persons, at the moment he was transferred in Bucharest to be isolated, and all the his relatives were put in quarantine for 14 days.( this is an official information from media )

[diamondbella]

Since the virus interacts with our dna are there any indicators yet as to whether or not there are different reactions with different types of dna? Such as rh negative?

[ecaterinamatcov]
