Coronavirus, USA USA, Authorizes the use of the drug against Ebola

NEW YORK – The last hope in the fight against the coronavirus is called Remdesivir. The United States urgently authorized the use of the antiviral drug created to counter Ebola yesterday, to treat patients with coronavirus. The same was announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after meeting with the leaders of the company that makes the medicine in the White House.

The authorization means that the antiretroviral medication can now be used in people who are hospitalized due to Covid-19. A study in recent weeks has indicated that Remdesivir has helped reduce the recovery time of severely coronavirus patients: but many scientists have been skeptical, urging that they not consider medicine as “the magic bullet”, the magic formula or the final solution

The emergency authorization granted by the Food and Drug Administration, the United States drug agency, is not final: more studies will be needed to formalize the use of the drug. But in the meantime, it is a green light for use in this emergency phase. Remdesivir was originally created to combat Ebola. Trump has been a supporter of the drug from the beginning, who over time has also found the support of Anthony Fauci, head of the coronavirus workforce in the United States. However, he also repeatedly emphasized that the positive effects recorded by the drug should not suggest that it is a cure for coronavirus.
