Remdesivir antiviral administered to US President Donald Trump it is currently the most popular drug for treating novel coronavirus disease. Developed in 2009 to combat hepatitis C and then tested against the Ebola and Marburg viruses without obtaining the desired results, since last January Remdesivir has begun to be considered as a possible weapon against the new coronavirus disease. The encouraging results observed in the laboratory against the ‘cousins of SarsCoV2, the viruses responsible for MERS and Sars, had pushed in this direction.
The results were positive to the point that in March, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the first clinical trial on Covid-19 patients. Initially, the drug was only intended for severe forms of Covid-19, but the positive results of two trials conducted in the United States on patients with moderate or mild symptoms led to the American drug control agency, the Food and Drug Administration (Fda), to extend its use to all hospitalized patients, adults and children, regardless of the severity of the disease. There have also been similar indications in India, Singapore and Japan.
Also administered to Silvio Berlusconi during his hospitalization at San Raffaele, Remdesivir received the recommendation for conditional authorization for the treatment of SarsCov2 disease in adults and adolescents with pneumonia requiring oxygen therapy last June from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Remdesivir is a broad spectrum antiviral drug that works by blocking the activity of polymerase, the main enzyme used by the virus to replicate. It is given as intravenous injections and among the most common side effects shown to date are liver inflammation and nausea.

In the press briefing, Trump’s doctor had said that the president is not on oxygen at the moment and – pressed by questions – he had specified that “yesterday and today he was not on oxygen”.
THE MESSAGE. “I’ll beat the virus. I feel like I could go out now, but they tell me there can be a relapse with this disease. I feel I could go out and have a rally. I am the president of the United States, I cannot lock myself in a room ». It is the message that Donald Trump, hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center for coronavirus positivity, entrusted to Rudy Giuliani, according to the New York Post. “I had to deal with” the virus “so that the American people were no longer afraid and we could approach the issue responsibly. We have made tremendous progress in the management of this disease, the death rate is very low compared to the beginning of the pandemic. “I will be able to show people that we can manage this disease responsibly, but we shouldn’t be afraid of it. If I had had to deal with it in another way, I would have created more panic and fear in the American people. We are making great progress in combating this disease and we are making more progress with the economy than some might expect. “
