A scientist works in a laboratory where a vaccine against the Covid-19 is being produced at the Oxford Vaccine Group's facility at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, Britain, June 24, 2020.
Their team developed organoids containing types of lung and colon cells that are known to become infected in people with Covid-19. In collaboration with teams at Columbia University and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, they screened 1,200 FDA-approved drugs and found three that showed activity against the novel coronavirus, including the cancer drug imatinib, sold as Gleevec by Novartis. It is currently being tested in four different Covid-19 clinical trials.
He said doctors evaluating Covid-19 patients need to bear in mind that GI symptoms may signal a markedly higher risk of a worsened disease course. Both studies were presented at the American College of Gastroenterology virtual annual meeting.

Nearly half a million Americans tested positive for Covid-19 In just the last weekIn just one week, the fall surge in Covid-19 infections added nearly half a million cases to the national total. 130M worldwide could die of starvation due to mandates/lockdowns. 1.4M will die from tuberculosis who couldn’t get proper treatment. 42k from cardio conditions. 75k more alcohol and drug related deaths than usual.
