美国新冠疫情日记5/2/2020 新药上市救病患

        新药上市救病患

美国食品药物管理局週五批准了由吉利公司发明的新药瑞德西威上市，这种药物经过对一千零六十三人之临床试验，有百分之三十一可以提早痊癒。

包括阿拉巴马州、田纳西州、缅因州及德州在四月三十日已经全面解除居家令，并且让零售商、餐厅、电影院及商场开放营业，但不能超过百分之二十五之顾客容量。

德州休斯敦一家夜总会老闆被市警察局查封，但是他声称是以餐厅之名开业，这个灰色地带也為大家带来困扰。

截至目前為止，美国全国已经有超过六万人死亡，全国失业人数已超过三千万，专家认為近期内就会达到百分之二十的失业率，这是从经济大萧条以来最高之失业率。

新药及疫苗之研发是当前各国正在共同努力之目标，然而在世界政治舞台上，政客们仍然各有算计，面对这场毁灭式的无声战疫束手无策，是我们人类最大的危机。

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.
