Follow the feedback of those who were treated with remdesivir, it works. Gilead isn't going to continue giving it away as they have. It's a business with shareholders. The government should ensure the price is reasonable and stop up purchases until we have a better candidate.

Gilead 👀 dystopian

Really think they should change their name it's a really unfortunate one

Dystopian drug company

The problem here is that the chief scientists are either stuck up a tree or playing with a ball of yarn... otherwise perfectly ok.

NSW Covid-19 hotspots: list of regional and Sydney outbreak locationsAs coronavirus community transmissions rise in New South Wales, here are the current hotspots and what to do if you’ve visited them When you increase testing you increase cases. The areas where they set up all these testing centres are the areas that end up with the high cases and on lockdown. Positive cases with low hospital/death rate is surely a good thing.

The Observer view on deflecting the Covid-19 blame risks opening fatal divisions | Observer editorialThe government is failing to take responsibility for its failings and turning on communities instead hazardscampaign warned of this:'We go. Back to work safely or not at all' Inevitable mess ensued. BorisJohnson must adopt Zero Covid Now or resign We have never “been in it together” since the MSM like you have colluded with some people getting away with breaching lockdown (eg labour MPs; BLM) whilst others have been demonised (eg the disgusting targeting of Cummings). You have constantly caused splits for political gain. If we are accused of “institutional racism” because BAME are more likely to die than white people then lefties like you don’t want us to question this. When the limit is 30, a recent Muslim funeral had 250 attendees where the Imam had Covid. Who do you feel is responsible?
