Here is the Remdesivir Phase 3 Clinical Trial details that is being done across 54 sites. It started 21 Feb 2020 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04280705

I really appreciate the callers questions, putting them on the spot regarding funding. They soon put a stop to the callers though by ending the conference call. I don't know why they keep insisting on focusing on new young researchers. Fund the experienced ones first, and bring other...

And there is Trudie Chalder (referrals tab)

The researcher is revising the survey to add options for other conditions.

Stanford have a study to look at the effect of care giving during COVID-19 pandemic. It doesn't have to be of someone with COVID-19. This is a great opportunity to have input from ME caregivers. https://redcap.stanford.edu/surveys/index.php?s=RFL8CHMT3H DESCRIPTION: You are invited to...

Stanford announced his wearable study a few weeks ago (Note this is a list of all COVID-19 projects at Stanford - it is very impressive). https://med.stanford.edu/covid19/research.html Here is a recent tweet from Snyder about the study He is also doing two other studies, one of which is a...

Have you changed your salt balance by drinking more fluids or taking extra salt lately? Sometimes that can cause electric shocks if you have neuropathy.

My sister in law works in Walmart (very big box store in the US that sells everything for the home, perhaps a bit like ASDA but less focus on fresh food). She sent pictures yesterday of the sewing isle. No cloth material left and no elastic. Looks like a lot of people are trying to make masks.

FYI - The US has a huge number of test samples taken that are not resulted. One test company alone, Quest has a backlog of 110,000+ tests to result. California has the highest backlog. This will be distorting the real results (except for deaths).

Several counties in California are now recommending public wear masks. The biggest was the LA mayor. The governor of California states face coverings can help but won't mandate right now...

Here is the rejection They weren't making a treatment decision, they were asked to support purchasing. Awful.

It always puzzles me why they don't show a scatter plot of the results to help with visualisation of the data. They claim a significance of P<0.001 but the standard deviation is pretty high, meaning there is a lot of overlap of the data points between the groups. A picture would give a better...

This is showing that R0 was modellied to be as high as 5.2 before isolation/separation takes place! That explains the rapid increases we see on the charts, and ties in Ian Lipkins suggestion in the recent podcast that R0 was likely much higher than being reported. I thought this was very...

When I read the first stories and papers coming out of China a month or so ago, I seem to remember them saying ventilators were not that effective as the virus had caused changes in the lungs so oxygen couldn't be absorbed well. What made the difference was ECMO. Source ...

My understanding is that a few years ago they weren't getting the patients they needed from local clinics, so in 2017 the researchers decided to recruit study participants themselves and bring people into the heart of their lab for blood draws, or go to homes of the most severely affected. (They...
