Coronavirus Status Updates

We've ordered them, but they aren't approved yet. So I'm guessing they are ordered as long as they get approved.

My understanding, and this might be wrong, is that production will begin before approval. I think the idea is to have lots of doses ready to go once one or more vaccines is approved.


But I also think I read somewhere that US government funding is contingent upon approval, so there's that...

I believe that is correct. They are manufacturing many doses already, prior to even finishing their human trials. It’s gutsy.

An opinion piece assembling some of the anecdotal European evidence says that surviving may simply mask the long term chronic effects on heart and lungs. A 100 person study in Germany showed that 60% had heart complications for at least two months after infection (in a group of median age 49, most of whom were asymptomatic). England is assembling a group of 1000 patients with the study to begin in September. That may provide more valid results.

Minnesota became the second state (Ohio was the first) to reject regulations that effectively ban the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine for use by COVID-19 patients. More and more doctors are changing opinions of its use as an early treatment and have been putting pressure on their governors if their state pharmacies are not allowing prescriptions for it, if you used for COVID-19. https://www.corona-stocks.com/minne...uietly-reverses-course-on-hydroxychloroquine/

Johns Hopkins scientists examining weird side effects of COVID-19 suggest one way coronavirus ‘gains a foothold in the body’

The findings could offer one reason why COVID-19 is so infectious and potentially offer clues to more effective treatments, researchers say.

In a study published in the European Respiratory Journal on Wednesday, the researchers found extremely high levels of “angiotensin converting enzyme II,” or ACE-2, only in the area of the nose responsible for smelling. The ACE-2 enzyme is thought to be the gateway that allows coronavirus to enter the cells of the body and cause an infection.

In fact, the levels of ACE-2 in these cells was between 200 and 700 times higher than other tissue in the nose and trachea, Chen said, and they found similarly high levels in all the samples of olfactory epithelium. The ACE-2 enzyme was not detected on olfactory neurons, the nerve cells that pass information about smells to the brain.

“The olfactory epithelium is quite an easy part of the body for a virus to reach, it’s not buried away deep in our body, and the very high levels of ACE-2 that we found there might explain why it’s so easy to catch COVID-19,” Chen said. Lane added that this research may enable doctors to tackle the infection with antiviral therapies delivered directly through the nose.
