Gilead shares jumped by 16.41% in after-hours trading after STAT news reported that a Chicago hospital treating coronavirus patients with Remdesivir in a trial were recovering rapidly from severe symptoms. The publication cited a video it obtained where the trial results were discussed.

Possible

We can hope

Brock you have inside information?

[Foxx]

Now if we could just get China to send us some more, that would be great.

Man people really dont understand how this stuff works. Even if it has successful results in a small trial it still has to go to clinical trials. No drug like this can be released to the public quickly. Most drugs from beginning to end take years and years before they hit the market. When media tells the public about these drugs its such bad misinformation and gives such false hope to people.

All we need a proven treatment then all the vaccine talk can gtfo

These are not normal circumstances and an exceptions have already been made and will continue to be made under emergency use provisions. Maybe you are the one who does not understand how it works.

Futures are up because of Trump's new rules for opening the economy and stimulus checks hitting bank accounts.

LOL ok

[d2bets]

Not gonna slow the spread.

Test everybody already. Do that and we're back before ya know it.

It's a treatment to those who have it, very rapidly as well. Next best thing to a vaccine

[pilebuck13]

A treatment is better then a vaccine. Far better. Vaccines for viruses suck since it mutates so much hence why the flu shot usually never accurate on each years strain

[clockwise1965]

Great news!

Looks like this was a clinical trial

[Mike Huntertz]

An immense amount of logistics to get this main stream. IF it works and I sure hope so, how long until it gets to your town?
They know how to test but after all this time have only managed 1% of the population.
This will take time, a lot of time.

Like a bunch of sheep people buy into it.

Probably means it doesn't work

Lets get rid of this virus

I think we have enough for over 100,000 very sick individuals to use it on compassionate care

[Black Coffee]

market goes up on hope...

market goes down on fear and uncertainty...

[flyingillini]

They tested 125 patients, 2 died.. This is not a cure by any means. This is just positive news that is making this stock go up now... It will go down in a few days.

[goduke]

Not true at all. They aren’t going to approve drugs without proper clinical trials period. First trial would take 12 months. Then you move on from that. Most drugs take 7-12 years from inception to market. Even with all the resources devoted to it you’re looking at 18 months or more and 18 months is such a generous prediction. But keep watching the news out there and having false hope for your miracle vaccine that isn’t coming for a long time

[goduke]

oh...kind of like when the media says that we will all be dead if we go outside....misinformation nonstop....how terrible to give hope to people when its needed most....I guess you are fine with staying locked up for years

But it’s not real hope. Why tell the public a cure could be on the way if it’s so far away? You do realize that you are criticizing misinformation and promoting misinformation all in the same post right?

[goduke]

Yes a very small one but multiple trials will have to happen. Phase 1, 2 and sometimes more

[goduke]

Unless it helps them on one disease and ultimately kills them from a side effect. Can’t test on 100k people without knowing the true side effects and proper results. Simple thing is a cure/vaccine shouldn’t even be discussed right now.

Real or false doesn't matter. It's hope. In these times, that's enough to move the market and for those properly positioned to make money..

It's still all about the money..

[homie1975]

The Gilead news might be fool's gold. Other drugs in Europe and a few here showed a little promise then fizzled out.

There was no control group here so other factors could've been at play for the improved patients.

Look out.

[StackinGreen]

For viruses like these, there is no cure, just like seasonal flu; a best guess each year. Healthy people don't need it, either. A culture that ignores that evil suggestions of Bill Gates and focuses on treatment rather than "cure" (vaccine and all that comes with it, go listen to his dastardly and disturbing interviews) is what everyone here should indeed support.

I don’t care about the market. My comment was saying how Booya didn’t like misinformation and keeping people inside but didn’t mind false info that a vaccine could be on the way. It was more in response to his hypocrisy

[Foxx]

Yes a very small one but multiple trials will have to happen. Phase 1, 2 and sometimes more

These are phase 3 trials being conducted now.
