So Gilead rushed a bunch of this to China for clinical trials against the Kung Flu:
* Do you think it'll work or was the one guy treated in Washington a fluke?
* How fast does production of this kind of shit take to ramp up?
* If you caught coronavirus, but couldn't get any because the Chinese took it all, how would you go about synthesizing it?
* What the fuck does this part of the Wikipedia page mean:
>Remdesivir metabolizes into its active form GS-441524. GS-441524 is an adenosine nucleotide analog that confuses viral RNA polymerase and evades proofreading by viral exonuclease (ExoN)goog, causing a decrease in viral RNA production.
General antiviral thread too I guess.
