If Gilead's antiviral drug remdesivir turns out to be effective against the coronavirus, then it'll likely be like nothing more than a highly contagious flu - that's my hope anyway. After doing a bunch of research on all this, I threw down and bought a decent chunk of Gilead's stock this morning. After having read how it was discovered that the drug Tamiflu had previously helped to shorten recovery from SARS by about 17 hours, and then went on to net Roche a cool $3.2 billion, I figured that it was worth the gamble. Besides, as my flights, hotel and car are already booked, I now have a vested interest in this new drug working out. Keeping my fingers crossed that May in Ibiza will still be a "go," and that this gamble might ultimately help pay for everything....maybe even to the point where I'll treat myself to some VIP club time - we'll see.
According to this it looks like a bloke in Majorca has tested for it too:

Agreed. A lot of news outlets using the 'when, not if' that it's going to spiral out of control slightly.

I'm out three times this season. Even if flights become limited...I'll swim there if I need too.

I know someone who reckons beak is pretty healthy because (they claim) it kills various cold/flu viruses in your nose. They weren't joking either.
I think they were just trying to excuse their use of it a few times a week...- Status
