  ‘They could work’: Coronavirus drug trials to begin in N.Y. state, Cuomo says

  By Shant Shahrigian, New York Daily News |Mar 22, 2020 |

  New York State is about to begin testing drugs for treatment of coronavirus, Gov. Cuomo

  The feds have given the state 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine, 10,000 doses of zithromax and 750,000 doses of chloroquine. Testing will kick off Tuesday, Cuomo said.

  “The president is optimistic about these drugs and we are all optimistic that it could work,” the governor said at a press conference. “I’ve spoken with a number of health officials and there is a good basis to believe that they could work.”

  There are no federally approved drugs to treat coronavirus — an original form of which began circling the globe last year — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New York has the most cases of any state in the country — 15,168 as of Sunday afternoon — and Cuomo previously said he wanted New York to be “first in line” for drug trials.

  Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are ordinarily used to treat malaria and certain inflammatory conditions, according to the FDA.

  The Drug Trials of the Century

  Promising candidates for treating Covid-19 patients could rescue not just patients but a world economy gripped by fear

  By Charley Grant, Wall Street Journal, March 23, 2020 7:33 am ET

  Clinical trials for experimental drugs often have high financial stakes. Coming trial results for possible Covid-19 treatments are in a category of their own.

  Hopeful news about a blockbuster therapy for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease or other ailments can add or subtract billions of dollars from the value of a drugmaker’s shares. Success in treating at least some Covid-19 patients could help restore trillions of lost value to stock markets, even if its originator doesn’t earn very much from the drug itself.

  A halt to the economy sparked by a public health crisis caught both Wall Street and Washington off guard. Eventually, the focus will shift from preventing deaths to repairing the damage to key industries like hospitality, travel and live events.

  That moment will be welcomed by all when it arrives. But just as the outbreak spurred the shutdown, authorities will need confidence that emergency rooms and intensive care units can handle the flow of patients before some aspects of normal life can restart. For now, there is little cause for cheer. Hospitals in hot spots like New York City and northern Italy are reeling, with a fraction of the number of cases they could see if community spread were allowed to progress unchecked.

  A safe and effective vaccine for Covid-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, is the most important health tool to defeat the disease. Aggressive development efforts are under way, but such a silver bullet likely won’t be available for at least a year.

  Meanwhile, a more piecemeal approach that limits mortality will have to suffice. U.S. testing capability is finally beginning to improve as private actors step up: LabCorp announced last week it is now able to process 20,000 tests a day, two weeks after first offering testing. Private industrial efforts to expand supplies of essential hospital equipment have accelerated as well. The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday approved a rapid-testing kit for the disease.

  But the options to treat those already sickened by the virus may soon expand, and investors should prepare for glimmers of hope in the weeks ahead. Some patients have recovered after receiving Gilead Sciences ’ experimental antiviral treatment remdesivir, though there isn’t yet enough clinical data to understand if the drug is truly safe and effective and, if so, for what specific disease stages or populations. That could soon change: A series of clinical trials that began in early February will start to generate results in March and April. Gilead Chief Executive Officer Daniel O’Day said back in February that the company was “creating as much optionality” in the supply chain as possible should remdesivir prove useful, which bodes well for potential manufacturing capacity.

  Elsewhere, drugmakers Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sanofi SA are studying whether their jointly-owned drug Kevzara helps prevent overactive lung inflammation in severe Covid-19 patients receiving the drug last week in New York. Gilead and Regeneron’s share prices have rallied in a weak market, though Covid-19 treatments are unlikely to be a profit center in either the short or long term.

  Hospitals also have begun to include the old malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in treatment protocols. Those drugs, which aren’t approved by regulators to treat the virus but have generated promising but inconclusive results in small, open label studies, can be administered by doctors on an off-label basis. Several large drug manufacturers have vowed to donate large quantities of the drug or crank up production.

  Regulators have signaled that the approval process for promising drugs will be rapid. None of these therapies will make the disease go away or immediately spark a return to everyday life. However, positive data and an improved supply and testing outlook can help begin to restore some of the confidence that has been sucked out of the global economy.

Send some to New Jersey too! We have a liberal IDIOT DEM for a Governor. No, we idn’t vote for him. We are right behind NY in having the most cases. We just surpassed CA and Washington State!

New York, New Jersey coronavirus ‘attack rate’ is 5 times higher
than rest of US, top official says
PUBLISHED MON, MAR 23 20207:35 PM
By Berkeley Lovelace Jr.

“The New York metro area of New Jersey, New York City, and parts of Long Island have an attack rate close to one in 1,000,” Dr. Deborah Birx, a physician and the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said at a press briefing Monday evening. The attack rate is the percentage of a population that gets the disease.

She said roughly 28% of the specimens submitted in that region have tested positive for COVID-19, while less than 8% have tested positive for the disease in the rest of the country.
…
New York is currently the hardest-hit state in the country, ahead of New Jersey, California and Washington state. New York City, alone, accounts for 12,305 of the 20,875 confirmed infections in the state as of Monday morning, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said earlier in the day.

(The most cases are now –
1. New York
2. New Jersey
3. California
4. Washington state)
…
Cuomo estimated up to 80% of the state’s more than 19.4 million residents will get the coronavirus. Last week, Cuomo estimated there are likely “tens of thousands” of COVID-19 cases in the state among residents who didn’t know they had it.”

Off topic – Obama depleted our military as well as our EMERGENCY supplies. This is why Trump is scrambling for supplies. Obama has recently had the gall to criticize Trump over lack of supplies.

Report: Obama Admin Depleted Stockpile of N95 Masks, Never Restored
JOEL B. POLLAK 23 Mar 2020
…
The Washington Examiner, citing Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times, reported Monday that the Obama administration used millions of N95 masks in the fight against the H1N1 virus in 2009, but did not replace them:

The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.
…
A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished of the 100 million masks used after the H1N1 outbreak, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, said that advice was never heeded.
…
Bloomberg News reported similar findings last week, noting, “after the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, which triggered a nationwide shortage of masks and caused a 2- to 3-year backlog orders for the N95 variety, the stockpile distributed about three-quarters of its inventory and didn’t build back the supply.”
