Video game music on d w. Theres no panacea to the pandemic right now all the way closer to a treatment. Could have much hope can we put in old drugs. Now i gotta tell ya i watched the 1st dosage and dont believe that ever prayed over about a quarter seizure. Prayed over the 30 minutes. Was in fact born to be helpful to me prove. It can be helpful for others we welcome the recent data. During the most controlled trial that has been done in the United States and theres a signals of hope there for the use of drugs this is not. It doesnt change the fact that we have a terrible. Many people. In this search for a coke at 19 q of walks or fine line between the urgency of finding a drug and the long process of testing if it does more good than harm. As all and welcome were going to get a new wonder drug for any time soon but old treatments for other diseases are in trials and could be repurposed pharmacologist about that in a moment 1st look at some of the candidates. Rentes of the air. Flow pin of the year return of the year laura quinn hydroxy chloroquine just some of the many medications currently being tested the treatments for coated 19 what they all have in common is that they were originally developed to treat other diseases. As yet there are no reliable studies demonstrating safety and efficacy against covert 19 yet politicians such as donald trump are hailing them as breakthroughs in treatment quantities of chloroquine. Lets take a closer look at clarke a product developed decades ago by German Pharma Company buyer to treat malaria the company in fact discontinued the sale of the product last year. But now Clinical Trials investigating its use against the new coronavirus are producing promising results however while studies in china indicated inhibits the reproduction of the virus others are identifying dangerous side effects in patients such as heart problems. The related medication hydroxy chloroquine can actually increase the risk of sudden death. Combination medicine via return of ear this was 1st developed to treat hiv and has been prescribed to children over 2 as well as adults clinical studies show its highly effective as an antiviral. But a recent study with coated 19 patients proved disappointing. Researchers believe the patients were treated too late and given too low a dose. Death of a while is hailed by many as the most promising treatment for covert 19. Us Pharmaceutical Company gilliatt originally developed a drug to fight ebola it ultimately proved inferior to other drugs tested but now Clinical Trials show that it can reduce the impact of the covert 19 disease in some patients Cutting Recovery Time from 15. 00 to 11. 00 days and the mortality rate from 11. 6 to 8 percent in study participants. But events are saudi conducted in china failed to identify or reduce mortality rate still the u. S. Food and Drug Administration the f. D. A. Is allowing emergency use of around the death of a year to treat severely ill patients. President of the World Health Summit its also just thank you very much for joining us this is like a little trip to the chemist for me lets start with. Would you prescribe that. Yes its been described and intice been effective for an evil and its one of the drugs were sheer to be used now far corner of ours but the data has so far im not that convincing some of it is still discussion whether theyre on the drugs which might be more effective that is right there comparative try its no going on. 2 to come 10 various drugs and did give it up standards but what are some of the other drugs that were developed for other diseases like it or not its very were drops like lupino here and need to know beer and its antibody were droughts and theyre into malaria drugs so theres a poor man right to have different drugs being tested and there are 2 major trades going on in the world no to compare obese various drugs so that the dont you show solidarity trying and then off for much we can very try here and the other smaller train its going on or its in our country the charity is coordinating some tried it between on the german universities so this is an uncertainty which struck really superior to the other one problematic is that the one drug cant treat all symptoms of cover 19 or it is problematic because i said if you have a patient you dont really know what to do and everybody tries to base and they observe the patient and it helps you know if the symptoms but there is no standard recrimination so far. Tell me trials take forever the drug needs to be safe is all that out the window now. Were in these trucks have been tested and they are safe for their. Primary indications so were empty beer was tested for it and it is safe and its being used working right the same is for the empty. Vibrant ranks of other kinds but theyre never being sufficiently tested for the cone of madness and code 19 and it is still going on but that is in a way that not so surprising because this came upon us there by surprise and takes time to even up these awards standards on drug treatment a lot of people would you argue that weve been warned about this for a long time but you spoke about the global cooperations that are going on at the moment by the w. H. O. By the university of oxford those sorts of trials that a shed around the globe in a one way fast tracking this process. What are these out of the rocks which are on the market already so in a way its comparative trier its theyve gone to you dont need to know who created to reprosecute us to. Use them so theyre theyre out on the market and they can be used and its just the indication the new indication but you have to be oh well its of the effect that. A infected person with a cone of avarice. Is in different stages some have very little symptoms some very heavy symptoms some on and on not to fear respiration so there are again you know this a diversity of patients which need to be treated and to its not so easy to func roups and then test each truck at each stage of a patient sit on a patient situation so that its. Its not easy from a cannot really to really give it given up stand nets and recommitted asians work right and although its not a total success im told some of these drugs do minimize the time people spend in hospital which is one of the biggest bugs in this crisis is getting enough hospital beds. You know why. In order to to. If his words might corporation and get as many patients as possible into a standard this Court Records and then test them thats the best way to save time and to come up with their air. As fast as possible with fear we commit asians necessary in the meantime these drugs are being used and the results have been reported so so we gain experience as we treat our colleges the president of the World Health Summit that ive got to thank you. Its my pleasure thank you now for your questions on the coronavirus is our science correspondent eric williams. How long could this virus last in your refrigerator at home. I couldnt find any new studies addressing this question although im sure that research into it is ongoing but i did dig up one that looked at the reaction to temperature in the virus that causes sars which is a close relative of the new corona virus what that work showed was that sars actually likes it when its cold and dry at 4 degrees celsius which is a temperature that similar to that in an average refrigerator it was able to survive for up to 4 weeks and was inactivated much more quickly at warmer temperatures now thats no guarantee that the new coronavirus will respond in exactly the same way but it seems pretty plausible that it wont mind the cold in a refrigerator really much at all still before you go and start scrubbing your fridge out with believe dont forget that there have still been no confirmed reports of transmission of sars cove 2 through food so it seems pretty unlikely that you would get it from your refrigerator. Just anted. Bacterial gel do anything against a virus like ovid 1000. There are many different kinds of anti microbial Hand Sanitizer products out there those that contain 60 percent or more alcohol are good at killing both bacteria and viruses like sars cove to the alcohol breaks down the fatty membranes that enclose both types of microbes but some anti microbial products rely on other compounds to kill potential pathogens instead and although they can be sold commercially its not clear if there is effective against the new coronavirus as an alcohol based sanitizer would be a recent study says they are based on that research the American Centers for Disease Control have warned that those non alcohol based products might be less reliable so its worth reading the label just keep in mind that even if it only says antibacterial if a sanitized or contains more than 60 percent alcohol then itll kill sores cove too as well. And let me leave you with this the battle against the outbreak has produced many heroes for medics to supermarket stuff that in the nature of these people are living them at a full stop all in tears patrolling the streets of this village and socalled hoddle to remind people about following prevention measures deadpool im mad black panther and indonesian in my ex are out in full force so a spot of.
