Sorry been away from keyboard im pretty drunk now after Liverpool celebrations so forgive me if i missd anything on the Trump briefing
Donald Trump briefing tonight key points/clues
1) He mentions Operation Warp Speed a fund/grant of 10 billion $ (more if required) to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. The following companies are signed up to it Johnson & Johnson (Janssen Pharmaceutical), AstraZeneca-University of Oxford, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Merck, Vaxart, Inovio, and Novavax.
For the first time he is saying this money will be used to help theraputics research rather than just the vaccines. This is good news as what ever company gets this money will not need to raise funds.
2) He mentions new Theraputics research is very promising, there are new treatments made up of antibody, blood thinners and steroids. Then gos on to say research is doing tremendously well, it even may cure people.
Hmm so this is the fun part
Steroid treament = dexamethasone I suspect
Blood thinners = Could be a number of any but isn't likely to help with lung/viral issues
Antibody = Best guess is monoclonal antibody-based treatments by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (They were awared $450 million from BARMA the body in Operation Warp Speed)
So a not much for us at Synairgen IMO but the theraputics he alluded too are nothign for us to worry about.
