Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is calling on Americans to be responsible, as lockdown measures are lifted across the United States. Speaking to NPR’s 1A program on Tuesday, Fauci said some people think, “'Oh, what the heck? I just want to go in a crowded place and go in a bar and go into a restaurant and not adhere to the recommendations — no big deal.’ Well, you know, in the big picture of things, it is a big deal because you're contributing to a risk of a very serious disease.”Fauci said there is often a feeling, especially in the younger generation, that coronavirus isn’t a serious disease.

“That really is unfortunate because, first of all, there are serious consequences. … You're part of a process that could then spread it to people who are vulnerable.”“Because we are all in this together,” he said. “This is a global pandemic.” Fauci warned the US has to continue to protect ourselves, because the concept of herd immunity isn’t going to help us yet.“The bottom line is, you've got to protect yourself. You cannot depend on quote this herd immunity -- which is the reason why I and others keep emphasizing: Avoid crowds, wear masks, wash your hands, do the things that would protect you from getting exposed to the virus," Fauci said.

Does Trump realize that by increasing the spread of Covid19; he will ultimently be increasing the death rate of his voters that can no longer vote due to lack of pulse?

This drug is a cortisteroide in the USA or elsewhere the cost for the drug alone is very cheap. Oxford University has it right.

So why nobody been treated in Uk

Wait, Trump guaranteed this yesterday! Maybe CNN should condemn accordingly..

Nice

日本ではずっと以前からARDSの治療にステロイドが使用されてます。 最近はCOVID19 によって起こされる血栓症の防止にヘパリンが効果があるとわかってきました。

In Japan, steroid therapy has been main method for ARDS for long time Recently, HEPARIN is effective to prevent thrombosis caused by COVID19

Try dexamethasone on drump first.

this treatment seems to be the one that is working, why would we use anything else?

Chris Cuomo says it doesn’t work. Anderson Cooper too. I’m going with their brilliance. 🥴

For the next potentially game changing treatment for Covid19 look at SNG001 by synairgen UK phase 2 Hospital trial results soon, and already approved for at home trials. Could be a breakthrough, and stop the most vulnerable people having the nasty 2nd week symptoms...

In other word it don’t work but that 50$

Pretty shitty odds too

Why is it not free in a pandemic to save MILLIONS of lives It’s only for the people who can afford it Something very fucking wrong with this world

Grandma coming back from conquering Covid-19, thanks to the steriod dexamethasone like:

make China pay for it

Great will be 500 bucks by tomorrow greedkills

1 in 8; it's just a fluke

Of course it does. It’s an anti inflammatory and COVID-19 is severe sepsis, which is sever inflammation.

Is there enough of a supply for 20k rally goers? Or a MILLION ticket holders in the overflow buildings?

Coolbeans

Everyone saying the same thing about the cost lol

Somehow it'll cost $99999999 per dose in the USA

Hydroxychloroquine still a better option. Why havent you mentioned the fraudulent studies that were done to try & debunk its effectiveness?

Delete this before Bill Gates cuts your ad money.

And simply existing can save 9 out of 10 patients for free. The overall U.S. mortality rate (assuming all ages are infected equally) is about 2.89%, which is higher than the 2.62% U.S. Spanish Flu mortality rate. This drug only brings that number down to 2.53%.

$50 in Britain. In the US? Esp if there’s demand?

Actually it cost £5 per person that translates to roughly 3 dollars. It’s been scientifically proven to be better for Americans than injecting disinfectant or shoving a ultra violet light bulb up your ass.

It will also have your break the world record for speed talking, gut out a house and rebuild it in real time with any show on HGTV, quadruple your food bill and keep you up for days…However, I did lose a ton of weight on it. 🤣

*help save one live...

only $1000? You're trying to tell me they found effective medication for only $20000 per treatment? Wiring $50000 to the hospital as we speak

Huh? That’s not a Malaria drug at all; is it?

Thanks to God. No more deaths please God. There is nothing bad like loosing someone. May all the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Unless realDonaldTrump is an investor, CDC and NIH will never bother to endorse its use.

Good to know. Thanks.

Oh great..now trumps gonna on steroids

So in america by 2021 it will be 10,000 a dose, because we allow big pharma to kill people for money

😊🙏🏻

Hopefully Trump starts taking it now prophylactically.

The article I read said it's only for patients who are already on ventilators

CNN. Why are you lying again on this ?

CDCgov estimates a .26% mortality rate for COVID-19. If you are under 50, it falls to .05% which is less than the flu. Deaths and hospitalizations are dropping dramatically as cases stay the same. The virus is losing its potency per UPMC doctors. It’s time to move on, folks.

Lol two doctors support is but now it's the miracle drug.....FakeNewsCNN

Here in the US it will cost $100,000 minimum.

I had such a good feeling about Hydroxychloroquine. It was going to be a game changer I had been told.

So a 12 percent success?

That's $50 on the UK market dude. You can multiply it by eleventy thousand and eight for the US market.

But what about cHlOrOqUiNe or bleach injections?

Gonna cost $50,000 in the US

Liberals hate America

We already have hydro chloroquine, thanks.

Dexamethasone Improves Survival in Severe Covid-19 Patients, Study FindsA generic steroid drug is the first to show in a clinical trial it could improve the survival of severely ill coronavirus patients, University of Oxford researchers said If dexamethasone works, prednisone would undoubtedly (albeit weaker potency) at even higher availability! Side effects of both are MAINLY from long term use - which clearly wouldn’t be necessary vs Covid_19 All this is great news! If everyone takes a few minutes a day to make their statistical data day by day, country by country with different sources, they will see that this pandemic grows every day algorithmically. Statistically it is more or less the same everywhere. We need a drug that can stop our lungs from filling with fluid. That's what we need.
