Coronavirus or Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a viral disease that turned into a pandemic in early 2020. The first known case was recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus has multiple variants such as Delta and Omicron, and its most common symptoms are fever, chills and sore throat.
The virus spreads through liquid particles when the infected person coughs, sneezes or breathes – it has a high multiplication rate. Therefore, the world had taken measures to quarantine or isolate those infected. While the disease can be mild and recoverable, those older or with underlying medical conditions are more likely to be adversely affected. The disease caused according to WHO estimates 3 million deaths in 2020.
Why the drug lords prove the efficacy for CORONA in USA where enough cases are available.? Is this not day light robbery of patients around the globe..?
This being a pandemic affecting life and lively hood of millions and millions of people, the inventor can help the world by making patent free. If not WHO may buy the patent and keep it free. Inventors can be awarded Nobel Prize. In the past many medicine inventors have kept their invention in open domain to help people.
So if Indian drug companies manufacture Remdesivir for local use, would that be tantamount to patent infringement? Gilead USA has the patent but can give other companies just product development ant testing rights, without itself being liable for litigation(s). Is this the case?
Obviously we are all hoping this drug proves to be highly potent in curing Covid-19 patients, although it’s original intent was to fight the Ebola virus, which it failed at doing. Cheers!
Sir as a pharmacist I do not know the efficacy of chloroquine against covid,if any drug which is effective against corona should be affordable to every one

Remdesivir is better than HCQ. There is no proof HCQ works
Remdesivir is more effective than HCQ
HCQ is effective in protecting from complications of Covid 19, it is the cheapest treatment option available for people from countries like India.
Remdesivir, even if it a choice, certainly will be an expensive treatment option.
