Getting a bit fed up with you polarising people with all your political crap, you are all fucking sad enough without this for gods sake. And now your country buying up all the effective covid drugs so no one else can have them, just how low can a fucking country get its just despicable. Meanwhile your covid is just getting out of control through stupid actions of people, you couldn't fucking make it up.

Like I said in a previous post, which somebody made fun of; "Donald Trump is VERY patriotic". He is saying screw you to the rest of the world, who will run back and embrace China first chance they get to spite US. LOLOLOL

Just reminds me of a Benny Hill sketch with Trump playing Benny but chasing votes instead - "We have the greatest ............(insert latest claim) in the World thanks to me"

Yeah well you may have a point there, helps i suppose to have a bit of humour in this crazy world.

Just a shame or even sad that people may feel the need to spite people or countrys. Not really a grown up attitude eh.

This is not directed to anybody in particular, but you have to know your history about how America was founded....... "Live free, or die" - is what we told King George when we left. And as crazy as it may sound to you - there are many Americans who would rather die than to give up their freedom AKA Liberty. Many Americans will die from COVID simply because they do not want to be told what to do. Their choice.

There are 2 drugs shown that they could be effective--and the USA did buy 500,000 doses from Gilead, a US company, which put the product in short supply for 3 months. But your post in bold is a lie. Here is the article from BBC news.  

Short supply By Richard Warry, BBC News

While there is international concern about the US buying up almost all supplies of remdesivir, we must remember that Gilead is a US company, and that the country has recorded the highest number of cases and deaths from Covid-19.

Under US law, export of drugs considered essential to treatment of patients in a public health emergency can be banned - and many other countries, including the UK, have similar legal provisions.

Gilead has put in place voluntary licensing agreements with a number of manufacturers around the world with the aim of producing the drug for use in developing nations.

In extremis, there is also a compulsory licensing mechanism which could allow countries to ignore Gilead's intellectual property rights, and manufacture their own generic versions of the drug.

However, the US deal will inevitably mean that for the next three months at least the drug - one of only two that have so far been of proven benefit for patients who are seriously ill with Covid-19 - will be in short supply in many other countries. The UK, however, says it currently has sufficient stocks for patients who need it.

The US is among several countries to approve remdesivir for use in combating Covid-19.

The European Union is expected to give approval this week, according to Germany's health ministry.

Germany says it has sufficient supplies of the drug and expects to be able to acquire more from Gilead in the future.

In the UK, the Department of Health said it had enough to treat every National Health Service patient who needed it.

They don't even know if these drugs work. Nobody still knows shit about Covid-19. The science/medical community failed us in a big way. The Spanish Flu in 1918 taught us nothing - 100 years later and we are still dumbfounded.
