美國新冠疫情日記5/2/2020 新藥上市救病患

        新藥上市救病患

美國食品藥物管理局週五批准了由吉利公司發明的新藥瑞德西威上市，這種藥物經過對一千零六十三人之臨床試驗，有百分之三十一可以提早痊癒。

包括阿拉巴馬州、田納西州、緬因州及德州在四月三十日已经全面解除居家令，並且讓零售商、餐廳、電影院及商場開放營業，但不能超過百分之二十五之顧客容量。

德州休斯敦一家夜總會老闆被市警察局查封，但是他声称是以餐廳之名開業，這個灰色地帶也為大家帶來困擾。

截至目前為止，美國全國已經有超過六萬人死亡，全國失業人數已超過三千萬，專家認為近期內就會達到百分之二十的失業率，這是從經濟大蕭條以來最高之失業率。

新藥及疫苗之研發是當前各國正在共同努力之目標，然而在世界政治舞台上，政客們仍然各有算計，面對这场毀滅式的無聲戰疫束手無策，是我們人類最大的危機。

New Drug Gives Us Hope

The FDA approved a drug after preliminary results from a government-sponsored study showed that remdesivir shortened time to recovery by 31%. The study went through 1063 patients and is the largest and most strict test of the drug and included a control group that received just usual care so remdesivir’s effect could be rigorously evaluated.

In the states of Alabama, Tennessee, Maine and Texas all the Governors let all restaurants, malls, movie theatres and retail shops open their doors at 25% of customer capacity. In Houston, one night club wanted to open for business and the owner claimed that the club is a restaurant. But the city disagreed and tried to block his opening the door.

As of this Friday, the U.S. jobless rate reached 16% percent with Thirty million people out of work. This is the worst economic condition we have had since the Great Depression.

We all hope the new drug and vaccine will come to the rescue of our country. The countries all over the world are trying to find the solution, but in reality politicians have their own agendas. We don’t see a bright future coming with a solution yet.
