A new promising cure for COVID-19

CEO of Gilead Daniel O’day meeting with president Trump

This image above is a picture of the CEO of Gilead meeting with President Trump. This meeting was arranged as Gilead has created a prevention drug known as remdesivir which was just recently approved by the FDA and it is being allowed to be used compassionately ( It is allowed to be used in severe cases) and it will help prevent the loss of life due to the coronavirus.

The FDA has approved remdesivir due to its great success during its clinical trials and while this drug will not cure the virus it will prevent those who have extreme cases of the virus from dying. This is a big step to being able to cure the virus and hopefully eradicate it similarly to how we eradicated such as polio and measles

Gilead has been developing this prevention drug since the beginning of the pandemic and it has finally been approved by the FDA and so to finalize this Daniel O’day had a meeting with President Trump and now remdesivir is being shipped across the country to hospitals who need this drug to help severely ill patients.
