US Doctors SUCCESSFULLY Treat Coronavirus Patient with Experimental Anti-viral Medication
The first person in the US to catch the coronavirus was successfully treated in Washington state and returned home late last week.
Dr. George Diaz, a section chief for infectious diseases at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett joined Arthel Neville on FOX News on Sunday morning to discuss the successful treatment of the center’s coronavirus patient.
Dr. George Diaz: About a week into his course he got worse developed pneumonia. At that point given the reports we had gotten out of China… At that point we elected to give him… the experimental Remdesivir, antiviral medication. And within 24 hours he improved significantly. This was quite encouraging and he improved and thereafter remained without fever and felt much better. Over the next few days he improved to where we thought he could be discharged at home under the care of the local health district.
Arthel Neville: And you said you used, I believe an experimental anti-viral medication, that you gave this patient. Can you apply this treatment to ALL people infected with the coronavirus or does it depend on the stage of their infection?
Dr. George Diaz: Yes, at this point the CDC has been working with the authorities in China and have recently opened a large clinical trial of Chinese patients looking at those with severe disease as well as those with mild to moderate disease. We are very much looking forward to the trials.

Bought 5 Gilead 70 Calls EXP 4/21. Seems like a good speculation–we’ll see. If it pops. I can also exercise the option B4 the ex-date ( 3/12 )–the $.68USD dividend. Currently 3.68% yield

Gilead popped to 80 this morning–up $3000–tempted to liquidated or buy the stock and hold to the x-date and garner $350 dividend on 3/30. Even a blind squirrel some times finds a nut.

Hi Carbon,
The “cured” patient has the virus again. I’d wait and see if it really is a cure.

How do they know they wouldn’t have recovered anyway? These “-vir” drugs do not all work the way they claim. I’ve been on 2 for cold sores. They never shortened or prevented the infections. It was Vitamin D3 that finally put the brakes on them.

In answer to the news woman’s question, no it’s probably not a good idea to use the drug as a prophylactic. It would be akin to taking Penicillin to prevent infection.
