University of Texas is testing its first trial of Regeneron COVID treatment similar to drug first used by Trump

The company behind the treatment, Regeneron, released an update this week that early results found it reduced viral levels and improved symptoms for non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients, particularly those given the 8-gram dose. The trial was based on results of a trial of 275 volunteers.

Regeneron's REGN-COV2 is one of several possible coronavirus treatments that have received federal funding for development and manufacturing. UTHealth is also looking for COVID-19 positive patients who have mild symptoms for an antibody treatment from Eli Lilly, according to ABC13. "The infusion takes about an hour and then they're monitored for about two hours after that to make sure they don't have any adverse reactions," said Dr. Utay.A doctor puts on hand sanitizer in the ER at Oakbend Medical Center in Richmond, Texas, on July 15. Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston are currently carrying out a number of trials of Covid-19 treatments, including one previously given to President Trump.

Totally ridiculous - I trust they will be charged - this can not be tolerated!

Texas governor limits election drop boxes to one per county in sprawling stateTexas Gov. Greg Abbott is limiting the amount of drop-off locations for mail-in ballots to one site per county. The move significantly affects the Democratic stronghold of Harris County, which is the state's largest county by population. That’s classic Republican voter suppression for you. Why is it that Republicans try to diminish participation in our democracy? Probably because they know no one wants to vote for them and they only win when there’s no participation. Fascist every last one of them. How blatantly obvious what he is doing. Nothing subtle about it. It’s absurd the levels of voter suppression this upcoming election. I can’t wait until security measures are strong enough to do a mobile or online voting
