They certainly do now!!

This is unconscionable.

And if other countries come up with a cheaper, more effective treatment, we will go to the bottom of the list.

Same with a vaccine.

It will be sold to middlemen to maximize trump’s personal political and financial profit.

The rich can afford to outbid every one else so they will get their doses. The people with the right political connections will get there’s. Regardless of what country they live in

Some doses may make it to swing states if they think it could secure a win. At that point they’ll favor counties that “matter”.

The average magat especially those is red states don’t have any better chance of getting a dose.

Overly cynical?

but they won’t ask Americans to do the easiest, cheapest thing they can do to stop the virus—Wear.A.Mask.

is most important.

For that you need social distancing and masks.

It's silly to say any of these measures is the "most" important. They're all important and should be used together.

Think the same thing is happening in England (once part of the UK/GB), Brazil, Hungary, Philippines - all with minor despots.

the peeResident and cronies, then it didn't happen.

Sounds very similar to FEMA grabbing all the N-95 masks from the states so Kushner could say "it's not the state's supply".

If there is a gawd, please do what needs to be done!!!!

Or maybe the gawd is just another power-hungry patriarch.

tried to buy the exclusive rights to a cure being cultivated in a German laboratory -- and it was thwarted by exposure of the scheme?

Just kick the rest of the world into a pit!!!

... Shares of Gilead GILD, +3.19% gained 0.9% in trading on Monday following the pricing announcement made before the market opened. U.S. health officials separately said Monday morning that the government had reserved 500,000 courses of remdesivir for Americans through September, to be purchased by hospitals.

The cost of remdesivir for a 5-day course of treatment is $2,340 in all developed countries, a price tag that is similar to cost-effectiveness estimates previously shared by a drug-pricing watchdog organization. There is one exception, however; in the U.S., the cost for a patient who has commercial health insurance, including a plan through their employer and purchased on the health exchanges, is $3,120.

“Because of the way the U.S. system is set up and the discounts that government health care programs expect, the price for U.S. private insurance companies will be $520 per vial,” Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day said in a statement.

(The cost per vial for people covered by government health plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, is $390.)...

No coming into the US and going to it, permanently.

That would be a punishment and an effective way to stop the spread of CV.

While Trump’s gangsters are figuring out how best to monetize it, they will hang on to it like the dog in the manger.

Breathe, breathe. I can feel my blood pressure spiking.

Did they let the Pharmo Bro pig out of jail?

Maybe not (yet):

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Denied Release From Prison To Research Coronavirus Cure

He is in his late 40s. Was put in ICU with viral pneumonia in both lungs. They were talking putting him on a ventilator.

He started taking it last Wednesday I believe. Last I heard they were talking about releasing him tomorrow.

Like I said, we will never know it the drug did The job or he just healed on his own. But his doctor said it was the fastest he has seen someone recover from the shape he was in. I sure hope it proves to be that effective on most people.

And commission manufacture in their own countries for their own people's use. The patent-holders will have to go whistle....

inevitable (assuming the manufacturing process is known or can be developed) and if Gilead does not license the process to other companies.

really good vaccine and then refuses to sell any of it to the US.

Is he still?

All the trillions we put out last 3 yrs.

and make their own.
