It was cupcake asking about the antiviral treatments and I said I’d seen two were to be approved before the year was out the news channel’s ran that story weeks ago I remember Javid saying they were to be approved very soon

Some good news. The first pill designed to treat symptomatic Covid has been approved by the UK medicines regulator.

The news about the anti viral was mentioned in the last briefing. It was said that it was going through trials and should be approved next year.

That was what I was referring to in the screenshot Monga has posted in her other comment

The BBC article I posted is not old news though if it has only just been approved.

The anti virals mentioned are though .They knew they were going to be approved they spent millions on pre orders Vallance said the vaccines and anti virals is all the armour we need ...Meanwhile the EMA will take their time to study the safety data and watch the UK with interest .

The article I posted was regarding the approval of the drug which is new news not old news. The drug trials have been mentioned in the news before but they were not approved.
 
Maybe I should’ve rephrased it to say I think that’s old news it might’ve made better sense then.

I should’ve made it clearer what I meant not everyone keeps up with the news like I do I have seen Javid discuss them before and who would be first to get them the approval was only a formality https://www.standard.co.uk/news/pol...s-briefing-antiviral-drugs-covid-b961610.html

“Riveting” back and forth as ever. I think you were perfectly clear @monga I believe some people deliberately miss the point on this thread!

In other covid news apparently the University of Oxford scientists have uncovered a gene that doubles the risk of lung failure and death from Covid. They estimate the risky version of the gene is present in about 2% of people from African-Caribbean backgrounds and 1.8% of people of East Asian decent.

Nothing was deliberate on my part.

Do you have a link to this - would be interested to read?
