FDA Considering Quick Greenlight to Drug Helping COVID-19 Patients

From the story:  Federal health regulators are exploring whether to greenlight the emergency use of a Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD 5.68% drug in serious Covid-19 patients, after U.S. government researchers reported the therapy helped the patients recover faster (WSJ).  

From Dr. Fauci: “What it has proven is that a drug can block this virus” (ABC News).  

More good news from another story: The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer said Tuesday that a new coronavirus vaccine could be tested as early as next week — with the potential for emergency use by fall, a report said Tuesday (NY Post). 

Meanwhile, The New York Times is putting names, faces and stories to many who have died (NY Times).
