Just a reminder that other antivirals like remdesivir that Gilead manufactures retail for $2k for a 30-day supply in the US, despite costing roughly $40 in other first world countries, and multiple US insurance companies needed to be sued before they would cover them. To put this in perspective, transmission of HIV could be virtually eliminated in the US if some of those antiviral drugs were made available to at-risk populations.
Should there be a pandemic-level outbreak in the US, I just hope cost and IP laws aren't the bottlenecks when it comes to preventing the spread of, and recovery from, this disease.
