Thank you! I will check it out. So the original medicine is completely not an option?

If it were me, I'd keep trying, but I have no ideas on how to get it. My brother told me that the US supply was distributed to hospitals based on beds or patient count or I don't recall, and his hospital got something like 8 treatments. So its not widely available in the US, either. So I thought I'd mention this new idea.

America first.
Quote: | On Monday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced an agreement to secure large supplies of the drug remdesivir for the United States from Gilead Sciences through September, allowing American hospitals to purchase the drug in amounts allocated by HHS and state health departments.
“President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorized therapeutic for COVID-19,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it. The Trump Administration is doing everything in our power to learn more about life-saving therapeutics for COVID-19 and secure access to these options for the American people.”
HHS has secured more than 500,000 treatment courses of the drug for American hospitals through September. This represents 100 percent of Gilead’s projected production for July (94,200 treatment courses), 90 percent of production in August (174,900 treatment courses), and 90 percent of production in September (232,800 treatment courses), in addition to an allocation for clinical trials. A treatment course of remdesivir is, on average, 6.25 vials. |
Maybe in October the rest of the world will be allowed some.
