Coronavirus rips through the South as U.S. death toll hits record high; Pennsylvania man saves cop despite history with police
A five-day treatment of remdesivir, one of two known drugs proven to help treat COVID-19, will cost $3,120 for a typical U.S. patient with commercial insurance. Gilead Sciences, the drugmaker, has promised a lower “government price,” but that excludes Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider joined CBSN to discuss the potential impact.
COVID-19 treatment's price will depend on whether private insurers or government programs like Medicaid are paying.
More than a dozen states across the U.S. are seeing an increase in confirmed coronavirus cases, and some are reporting record spikes. Dr. Bob Lahita joined CBSN to discuss how we can stay safe as states open up.
The drug, manufactured by Gilead, was found to have shortened the recovery time for hospitalized coronavirus patients.
As the drug remdesivir has been shown to modestly shorten recovery time from the coronavirus, researchers at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta are adding even more fire power to the battle against the virus. Dr. Jon LaPook takes a look.
"What the remdesivir does is it stops the spark — and the immune modulator will hopefully be putting ash or putting dirt on the fire to put it out," one doctor said.
The National Institutes of Health say researchers have begun testing a potential coronavirus vaccine. Meanwhile, another blend of drugs designed to fight COVID-19 has entered a new phase. Dr. Jon LaPook has the latest in CBS News' "Racing to a Cure" series.

The drug, produced by Gilead Sciences, may shorten the time it takes seriously ill patients to recover from COVID-19.
Hopes are high for antiviral drug after a clinical trial showed promise, but the benefits may be limited, experts say.
Patients receiving remdesivir in the trial recovered 31% faster, and were slightly less likely to die than those getting a placebo.
The antiviral drug remdesivir has shown promise in treating the COVID-19 infection in hospitalized patients. Dr. Mark McClellan, a professor of Business, Medicine and Policy at Duke University and a former FDA commissioner, joins CBSN's Reena Ninan for a closer look at the drug.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease specialist, expressed optimism about research showing the antiviral drug remdesivir can help some hospitalized COVID-19 patients recover faster. CBS News White House correspondent Ben Tracy joins CBSN's Reena Ninan with more on the White House's reaction.
