WHITE HOUSE - An experimental drug has proven effective in treating COVID-19 patients, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, announced Wednesday.

“Remdesivir has a clear-cut, significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recover,” Fauci told reporters in the White House Oval Office. “A drug can block this virus.”

An international randomized placebo control trial at his institute started February 21 with hundreds of hospitalized coronavirus patients, Fauci said.

Recovery time was 11 days for those given the drug compared with 15 days for patients given a placebo, according to the NIAID and its parent agency, the National Institutes of Health.

“Whenever you have clear-cut evidence that a drug works, you have an ethical obligation to immediately let the people who are in the placebo group know so that they can have access, and all of the other trials that are taking place now have a new standard of care,” Fauci told reporters.

'Beacon of hope'
“Today’s promising news from the NIH remdesivir trial is a beacon of hope for all Americans and everyone around the world waging war on the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar in a statement.

Remdesivir, manufactured by Gilead Sciences, is given intravenously and designed to interfere with an enzyme that reproduces viral genetic material. In animal tests against severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), diseases caused by similar coronaviruses, it has helped prevent infection and reduced severity of symptoms. But it is not yet approved anywhere in the world for any use.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration was expected Wednesday to grant emergency-use authorization for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Another study of remdesivir had not reached a positive conclusion, something reporters asked Fauci about in the Oval Office.

“It’s an underpowered study,” Fauci said of a study out of China published in The Lancet that found remdesivir was not effective in treating COVID-19 patients. “That’s not an adequate study.”

As of Wednesday evening EDT, COVID-19 had killed more than 227,000 people worldwide, including 60,000 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University statistics.

Total U.S. confirmed infections exceeded 1 million, the most reported by any country in the world.

“That’s a tremendous amount,” U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday, calling it an “indication that our testing is so superior.”

To think that the United States has more cases than China, “does anybody really believe that?” Trump added.

China faulted
He again blamed China, where the coronavirus was first reported, and the World Health Organization for the pandemic.
"They misled us,” said Trump of the WHO, calling it “literally a pipe organ for China.”

"They’re not to be congratulated for what took place and WHO is essentially congratulating them,” Trump told reporters. “And when they start doing that, we’ve got problems.”

The president earlier this month halted U.S. funding to the organization, which annually totals $400 million to $500 million. The WHO has said it is working with its partners to fill the financial gap from the Trump administration’s decision to withhold the money.

The United States is WHO’s largest donor.

“We can give it to groups that are very worthy and get much more bang for your buck. We’re going to make a decision in the not-too-distant future,” Trump said.

Later in the day, the president hosted several business leaders in the White House State Dining Room for an Opening Up America Again discussion that stressed the need to continue practices to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“More specific guidance is needed” from the federal and state governments on such practices, said Josh Bolten, the president and chief executive officer of the Business Roundtable, an association of chief executive officers of major American companies.

Bolten said that to avoid serious setbacks as establishments reopen to the public, there would be a need to rapidly identify and isolate new coronavirus cases.

Hilton Hotels CEO Chris Nassetta said his company, which has nearly 600 properties, was working with the maker of disinfectant Lysol and the Mayo Clinic to establish sanitizing procedures to ensure virus-free environments.

'New normal'
Asked by a reporter what the “new normal” would look like, Trump replied: “I see the new normal being what it was three months ago.” He noted his desire to see packed stadiums for sporting events, something health experts caution would be reckless until there was mass deployment of a vaccine for COVID-19.

Trump announced he would resume traveling next week after a nearly two-month hiatus with a visit to Arizona, to be followed by a trip soon to Ohio. He said he eventually he would resume holding his political rallies with thousands in attendance in this election year.

The president expressed optimism that soon, with or without a vaccine, “this virus is going to be gone.”

Mamlaka ya dawa na chakula nchini Marekani (FDA) imetoa ruhusa ya dharura ya dawa ya Ebola inayofahamika kama 'remdesivir' kutumika kuwatibia wagonjwa wenye virusi vya corona.

Ruhusa ya kutumika kwa dawa hiyo kwa sasa imetolewa kwa watu ambao wamelazwa hospitalini tu kutokana na ugonjwa wa Covid-19.

Jaribio la hivi karibuni la kitabibu linaonyesha kuwa dawa hiyo inaweza kuwasaidia watu mahututi wanaoumwa corona, na inaaminiwa kuwa inaweza kuwasaidia kupona haraka.

Hatahivyo, haijaonyesha kuwa inasaidia kupunguza idadi ya vifo.

Wataalamu wa dawa wametoa onyo kuhusu dawa hizo -ambazo zilitengenezwa ili kutibu Ebola, na zilitengenezwa na kampuni ya Gilead pharmaceutical iliyopo mjini California -kwamba visionekane kuwa ni jambo la ajabu sana kwa dawa hiyo kuanza kutumika kwa ajili ya kutibu virusi vya corona.

Dawa hiyo inaweza kuigwa na kuharibu utendaji wake.

Katika kikao na rais wa Marekani Donald Trump katika ofisi za Oval, Mkurugenzi mkuu wa Gilead Daniel O'Day alisema Mamlaka ya dawa FDA ndio hatua muhimu ya kwanza.

Kampuni hiyo itachangia chupa za dawa hiyo milioni 1.5 , alisema.

Kamishina wa FDA, bwana Stephen Hahn alisema kwenye mkutano huo: "Hii itakuwa tiba ya kwanza ya Covid-19 kupitishwa , tumefurahi sana kuwa sehemu ya uwezeshaji huo."

Mamlaka ya dharura ya FDA si sawa na ile ambayo inatoa idhini rasmi ambayo inahitaji uangalizai wa hali ya juu zaidi.

Ni nini tunafahamu nini kuhusu remdesivir?
Dawa hii haikutibu Ebola, na Gilead ilisema kwenye mtandao wake: "Remdesivir ni dawa ya majaribio ambayo ambayo haina ufanisi au usalama wa kutibu magonjwa yote." Gilead ilitoa angalizo la madhara makubwa ambayo yanaweza kumpata.

Ingawa rais Trump amekuwa akiiunga mkono remdesivir kwa kuizungumzia kuwa ni dawa sahihi ya virusi vya corona.

Katika jaribio la kitabibu, taasisi ya taifa ya mzio na magonjwa yanayoambukiza nchini Marekani (NIAID) imebaini kuwa remdesivir inapunguza muda wa dalili za ugonjwa huo kutoka siku 15 mpaka siku11.

Jaribio la dawa hilo lilifanyika kwa watu 1,063 katika hospitali mbalimbali duniani, - zikiwemo Marekani, Ufaransa, Italia,Uingereza, China na Korea kusini. Baadhi ya wagonjwa walipewa dawa hiyo na wengine walipewa tiba ya 'placebo'.

Dkt Anthony Fauci ambaye anaiongoza NIAID,alisema kuwa remdesivir imeonyesha wazi umuhimu wake ,kikubwa ni kuharakisha muda wa mtu kupona.

Hata hivyo remdesivir inaweza kusaidia katika uponyaji - na kuzuia watu kutibiwa kwenye chumba cha dharura - majaribio ya dawa hiyo haijaonyesha wazi kuwa inaweza kuzuia watu kufa kutokana na virusi vya corona.

Maswali mengi yakiwa hayana majibu bado kuhusu muongozo wa tiba hiyo , Gilead alishauri kuwa wagonjwa watumie dozi ya siku kwa wale ambao wanatumia mashine ya kupumulia na siku tano kwa wagonjwa ambao hawatumii mashine.

Je, mataifa mengine yanaweza kutumia dawa hiyo ya remdesivir?
Gilead alisema kwa sasa wanatumia dawa ambazo zilikuwepo kwenye hifadhi ya dawa zao na si rahisi kusafirisha maeneo mengine.

Serikali ya Marekani itaweza kupanga namna remdesivir itafikishwa kwenye hospitali za kwenye miji mbalimbali nchini Marekani , ambayo imeathirika zaidi na ugonjwa huu wa Covid-19.

Hivyo haiko wazi kabisa , ni kiasi gani cha dawa kitasambazwa duniani kote na hata gharama yake haijajulikana bado.

Gilead imesema kuwa inachangia dozi milioni 1.5 ya dawa hiyo ya remdesivir, ambazo zitakuwa na uwezo wa kutibu watu zaidi ya 140,000 bila gharama yoyote ile.Kitengo cha dharura cha kusambaza dawa nchini Marekani kinahusika katika hilo.

Je unaweza kupata maambukizi ya corona kutoka kwa mfu?
Lakini dunia nzima kuna watu zaidi ya milioni tatu ambao wamethibitishwa kuwa na ugonjwa wa corona katika mataifa 185.

Gilead ilisema ina nia ya kuongeza uzalishaji wa dawa hizo haraka wawezavyo wakishirikiana na washirika wao duniani,

Kampuni hiyo imelenga kutengeneza dawa zipatazo 500,000 mpaka ifikapo mwezi Oktoba 1, na milioni 1 kwa ajili ya ifikapo Desemba 2020 na mamilioni zaidi kwa mwaka 2021, kamaTaasisi ya tiba na uchumi, nchini Marekani ambayo huwa inatafiti gharama za dawa imeweza kuweka makadilio ya dawa hiyo ya remdesivir kuuzwa kwa dozi ya siku 10 itagharimu dola 10 za kimarekani, lakini bei inaweza kutegemea gharama ambazo majaribio ya tiba yalivyotumika. kutakuwa na uhitaji.

Hali ya vifo vinavyotokana na corona New York ikoje
Taarifa ya tiba hiyo ambayo inawezekana kuwa na uwezo wa kutibu corona imekuja wakati New York ikiwa imeripoti kuwa na vifo 98 vinavyotokana na ugonjwa wa corona.

Kituo cha Isabella Geriatric kilichopo Manhattan kinasema kuwa watu 46 ambao ni wakazi wa eneo hilo walikufa baada ya kupimwa na kukutwa na virusi vya corona, huku wengine 52 walidhaniwa kuwa na virusi.

Na Dkt Fauci amekuwa akichunguzwa kutoa ushuhuda wiki ijayo katika mkutano wa kutathmini jinsi utawala wa Trump ulivyokabiliana na mlipuko huu.

"Wakati utawala wa Trump ukiendelea na kukabiliana na ugonjwa wa Covid-19, ikiwa pamoja na mipango ya kuifungua Marekani na kuharakisha upatikanaji wa chanjo,si jambo la busara kwa watu hao hao kuonekana wakihudhuria kusikiliza madai," msemaji wa White House Judd Deere alisema

Hii dawa ipo mda tu tangu Wuhan outbreak itokee hawa Gilead walitangaza kuifanyia majaribio dawa hii ya ebola kutibu corona.Baadae tukasikia wamesitisha ruhusa sababu haijawa efficient kiasi kina chotakiwa.
Lakini ghafla baada ya Madagascar kuja na dawa yake na baadhi ya nchi za kiafrika kuunga mkono,hawa nao ghafla wanasema dawa hii ya Remdesivir wameiruhusu huko kwao!!
Mie nashauri Tanzania twende na Madagascar kwanza.
 
Naisi wameona sasa watoe dawa,baada ya kuona mipango yao imefika mahali,daima sina Imani na Mzungu.
Nadhani wataanza kuuza ulimwenguni, ili wakuze uchumi wao,sina Imani na Mzungu na huenda wameona watoe tu dawa ili uovu wao usijulikane baada ya kuathiri nnchi yao.


Afu kumbe ni Tetesi?
Kaona Madagascar anampiga gap
