A randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalized adults diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has begun at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha. The trial regulatory sponsor is the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. This is the first clinical trial in the United States to evaluate an experimental treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory disease first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Seems BigPharma are set to make a huge profit from all of this. Try taking Zinc, VitC, D3, and elderberry to boost immune system. As I had a huge scare with pneumonia a few months ago you realise you have to give nature a boost for your own health. Eat well, exercise, wash hands and don’t stress- try meditating (good stuff on YouTube free) and don’t buy the Sun or Daily Mail etc! 😉
