He teased a big announcement related to the FDA was coming tomorrow.

IF this is to allow “compassionate” use of favipiravir, the Fujifilm drug, on CV patients:
(1) Are the Chinese claims correct?
(2) Japanese trial experience suggests that those with worse problems ((e.g. elderly Finally admitted to hospital)) don’t show much improvement in outcomes
(3) If it really works on the less-ill when promptly administered, will there be enough available/manufacturable to treat everyone in the world?
THEN (4) Remember thalidomide.
